Maybe I just need a Plan? A good plan.

I know I am not alone in that I want to accomplish so much and achieve those dreams the furthest from my reach. Maybe I just need a fabulous plan? Maybe I can't have it all in one day but I can have bits and pieces of it all in one day. In other words, I need to create a plan that allows me to do it all, a little at a time. Rome wasn't built in a day.

So, I call this plan the Fabulous Plan. Fabulous can mean so many things to different people. What is fabulous to you? For me, an ideal plan would balance me out--working, time with my children, time with the hubby, time to exercise, cleaning/organization time, some music time and some relaxation time and going to bed at a decent hour.

I found these awesome schedules that I'm going to start working with. See if one works for you and if you like it, let me know. Post here!

This link will bring you to a flylady schedule. I like this one. It's basic but efficient and gets to the point. I don't like schedules that require a ton of maintenance. http://www.thehomeschoolmom.com/pdf/weeklyflplanner.PDF

Workout Week, Asics and Zu Zu Pets

It's very earrrllly in the morning. My darling hubby who sleeps in most mornings, had to get up at five a.m. Isn't that just the ugliest hour? Once I'm up, I'm up for the day. Bummer.

How was your weekend? Mine was ok. The rain made it seem fine to relax. My children were not as proactive about cleaning as they were this week. One of them would like more Zu Zu Pets and accessories so that helped motivate the little one to work a little harder too. Zu Zu Pets have earned points this weekend.

This week, I really need to get back on my workout schedule. Last week through me for a loop with a graduation, four music classes and an End of the Year Celebration. I was exhausted by the end of the day and only got to the gym once last week.

But, with my new Asics Sneakers that I got fitted for, I'll be styling in class. I got a running shoe because the salesgirl said that she recommends them over cross training shoes because they give more support. I also have a W-I-D-E foot and Asics come in wide. I have to just say that these are by the the most comfortable workout shoes I have ever worn. I have been buying sneakers that somewhat fit and then breaking them in for years. The sides of my feet would always be in pain. When I told her this, she said, your shoes should fit on day one. Your sneakers will never fit properly if they have to stretch out.

The sales girl told me I should buy new sneakers after four-six months. Sneakers ware. I know I've kept sneakers waayyyy longer than that. All in all a very good lesson.

So, my workout schedule this week will be two days of high intensity cardio, two-three days of weight training and 2-3 days of moderate cardio.

My body is starting to take shape and it's a good motivator to keep going!! Talk to me at the end of the week when I want to crash!
