Now that summer is here so is the dreaded bathing suit season. I am not one to usually get hung up on what I physically look like, but I do like to feel comfortable in my clothes. Like anyone else, the winter brought on lots of hardy soups and breads plus the results of having two little ones literally just over 2 years apart. I made a commitment to DH that I would focus on getting my body back into an appropriate shape over the summer, and he is on the bandwagon with me.
So far, both of us have been up and at 'em before our days start working out in the basement, him on his stationary bike & me on my treadmill. It is a love/hate relationship I have with my treadmill because as everyone has, there are good runs and ones that you'd much rather be somewhere else. This time around, I have to also time my workouts to #TeamA & #TeamO's schedules so that I can actually work at working out instead of constantly being interrupted.
One of my biggest challenges is going to be the accountability to myself. I can't start cutting corners, taking time off my run, not doing my weights etc. I find it very easy to finish my run and then sit down on the floor with the kids and start playing instead of finishing off with the weights. I need someone more to check in on me & hold me accountable.
I am loving my time at home and can't let a day go by without working out so that it becomes second nature to jump on the treadmill before starting my day. I have a weight goal in mind, but I also have a routine goal in mind once we head back to school in just over 8 weeks. I want to still be able to workout before school so that I don't fall into the winter slump again.
Please keep checking in with/on me over the summer to see how the routine is going. Don't be afraid to ask me if I got through my whole workout or if I cheated. I won't be offended!
Do you have fitness goals? If, yes, what are they? How to you keep yourself accountable and motivated?
