January fitness recap

I know the journey to getting in better shape is a slow and steady one.  And little goals along the way will help me reach my overall goal.  So I have fitness benchmarks I want to reach each month.

Goals

Work out 16 days a month.  Grade = A

I actually worked out 18 days this month. And that's if I don't work out Saturday or Sunday (and I probably won't). Yay me!

Strength training once a week.  Grade = A

Thanks to Xtreme Revolution, I can't avoid this one. Tuesday's body sculpt classes take care of this.

Track my food each day.  Grade = B

 I've done pretty well with this. Only forgot a few days.

+++++

Non-scale victories = I kicked off my goal of doing one race a month on the very first day of the year. I was super proud of myself for getting up early and going to the Commitment Run 5K on Jan. 1. It was pretty chilly that day and staying in bed sounded more appealing.

+++++

Last week's workouts

Friday: Xtreme Recovery (30 minutes) + Zumba happy hour (90 minutes)
Saturday: Off
Sunday: Off
Monday: Xtreme Revolution Cardio & Conditioning (30 minutes)
Tuesday: Xtreme Revolution Body Sculpt
Wednesday: Xtreme Revolution Attack
Thursday: Xtreme Revolution Plyos Skipped

I wanted to wake up early Thursday morning to go to the gym before work, but my cold has been kicking my butt this week. I haven't slept very great, so I decided an extra hour of sleep was a better choice.
