6 days a week…

Last night a thought hit me in the shower– the first 2 years that I was “SERIOUS” about becoming Buff, I lifted 6 days a week for almost 2 years straight– plus I did intervals 3-4x’s a week and a long cardio day (60 mins) once a week–much of that time.  Now days I tend to lift an average of 4 days a week and am lucky to get in 2-3 interval sessions in a week.  There is a difference in my body because of it– It’s kinda the difference between getting an A in a class vs. a B+.  It takes a lot more effort and determination to get the A.

Anyhow, that’s my goal for the month– to get myself back to lifting 6 days a week and to up my interval frequency.  I’ll plan to run them 2-3 times a week, but also get in 2 other interval sessions on the bike or a mish/mosh of exercises.  If I can be to that level of fitness by AUGUST 1 I’ll be happy!!

This week, I’m sticking to my plan, that I posted Sunday- 4 days of lifting, 2 days of running and 2 other interval workouts.

Then next week, I’m going to switch to a 3 day split and aim for 5 days/week of lifting and see how my body responds~ It’ll be tough to get it done due to the holiday with traveling to MN.

Our kids have been in MN~ for a week now– they left last Wednesday and at some point I need to go get them 🙂  Not sure when, but within the 10 days or so~ we typically love doing up a big Family 4th of JULY celebration, so it’d be weird to be with out them for the holiday.

Since my van is in MN with the kids- I kinda had to “share” a ride with Travis to get my hair done and then was “stuck” in town for the day.  But I didn’t let It keep me from working out–I bought a day pass to Inferno Fitness & Martial Arts and got in a good leg workout.  My booty is thanking me for it today~ sore cheeks
