I had a super-lazy first week in March. I was very tired and had headaches every day. I still do, so it's time to man up and push through it because I can't keep sitting on my ***. I decided it might help to post my goal routine so I edited my original post to include my intended workouts for each day for the rest of the month. Back in January I was doing C25K 3 days a week and doing spin 2x a week. My plan is to resume that, while also bringing in weight training 3x a week and 1 long walk per week.

Started March 5th
3/5 Full body workout =60
3/6 Snowboarding=45 (no strength from previous day workout)
3/7 Abs and arms=45

Goal:150/1300mins

Woohoo, I’m so glad I started this; I have pretty much hit a plateau for the last year, going up and down the same 5 lbs. If I can get under 170 by the end of March I will celebrate!

Someone please kick me into shape and tell me that I MUST do abs every time I go to the gym, not just on strength training days, and that all my excuses are just excuses. It's pure laziness, pure I-just-don't-want-to. I forced myself to do them today, but every time I'm going in for a cardio day I think about skipping the ab workout.

Chickadee-I'm trying to do abs EVERY time I work out too. Even if it's 50 reps, it really helps and I think I feel my abs strengthening quicker than other muscle groups.

It's so worth it, I agree, and I keep trying to tell myself that building more muscle just helps my body burn more calories even when I'm not working out - which is true! But my inner voice keeps whining, "I don't wanna......" :lol:

March 13 - W1D1 of C25K


Well, tried to repeat W1D1 of C25K, outside this time instead of the treadmill, and it didn't go very well. :( Not sure at this point whether I'll try it again on the treadmill or outside, but if it's outside it's going to take me a while to get past week 1. Maybe I'll just keep working with the W1 workouts for the next few weeks, and then start W2 with the other ladies here in the second week of April.

HI all, I'm doing pretty well on the exercise front, and a million times better than the nothing I did for so long :)

I used up one of my nothing days on Saturday, so only one left to get me to the end of the month, hope I can make it! (I can still have easy days when I don't go all out and run or spend an hour doing a workout DVD, but I have to be active in someway not to use a nothing day)

I'm about to move my C25K outdoors today, after doing the first 5 weeks in the comfort of my own home in front of the tele! I'm actually pretty excited about it, just hope I can run outside too lol

Chickadee, good for you for sticking at the programme even though it's tough right now. I think your idea of a couple of extra weeks on week one sounds good, with perseverance, you will get there :)

Have fun active weeks everyone :)
