New game plan

Yesterday I did not end up going to water running.  I decided instead that I really want to work on defining my upper body and the time I had the best upper body tone was when I was teaching a class called Tone in Motion.  It combines simple steps to keep the heart rate elevated with hand weight strength training.  So I chose to do that instead.  At the physio appointment she taught me some cool things about how I hold my body, where I have limited mobility and proper umbrella (diaphragm) breathing.  Despite how tight my gluts may be they are not stabilizing me properly, which is what my chiro said as well.  So that is something I need to work on daily.

Today was weigh in day and I was not overly surprised to see there was not much change.  I am 178-179 lbs and lost 1/2" off my waist.  I would have liked to have seen more of a change but not surprised it wasn't there.  I realized that I have stopped having smoothies three times a week which really increases my protein intake, also my water intake slowed down.

Time for a new game plan.  I will continue to run on M/W/F and do 8 minute runs, with 5 minute warm up, recovery and cooldown walks.  On M/F I will do my Tone in Motion routine, and Wednesdays do a quick high intensity body weight resistance training.  Next week Juliet and I start a yoga class Tuesday nights and I plan to add yoga from home on Thursday mornings.  Weekends are for rest and house keeping.  M/W/F I will go back to smoothies for breakfast.  We will see how that progresses things along.  My goal is to get down to at least a 35" waist, which is the borderline for increased health risk.  Currently my waist size is 43".  I have far to go but I know I can do it.
