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:
