Plan for September
I like the beginning of a new month. I'm obsessed with such details, we know this. I feel a need to have a particular plan so I've come up with this for September. Twelve weeks at a time gets very tough so I like the idea of focusing on being very compliant for one real good month and worry about what comes after LATER!
My primary goal remains to develop muscle mass that will raise my metabolism and re-shape my body overall.
#1: Don't weigh at all. In fact, I've removed the batteries from my scale. When I finished my Twelve-Week Program, I weighed 171lbs, the lowest I've weighed in a while but STILL in the 170s where I've been since 2006. I still carry a lot of flab in my butt and thighs and while only surgery can get rid of some of it, I can definitely focus on improving my musculature overall. I am more comfortable relying on how I feel and how my clothes feel. Watching the numbers jump around really messes with my attitude and motivation so I just won't go there!
#2: Give the BodyBugg a break. I started really obsessing with numbers. Going to let that go for awhile. I found the greatest value of the BodyBugg to be how it showed me the results/impact of activities and calories. This definitely gave me direction and put things in perspective for me. I learned just how much certain things can add up to work for or against me.
#3: Continue with the Powerlifting training on Tuesdays and Saturdays. A weights workout at home on Thursdays. Climb stairs Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Abs and kettlebell workouts as I might choose to do on those days as well. TAKE SUNDAY OFF!!! I need to recognize the value of recovery time.
#4: Diet. I will combine elements of high-protein, carb cycling, and low glycemic index diet plans. I will continue to eat pretty much the same thing every day. It gets to be a drag but it works and it's easy to time-manage. Five meals a day in a carb cycling pattern.
