Didn’t make it work, in March…

towelAs per my January and February workout accomplishments I still have not successfully completed my 4 day per week challenge at the gym, in March. It’s okay, I love a challenge! I also love color-coordinating the months! hee hee, March is green for St. Paddy’s Day. So here we go. Check out how I did:

March 1- 6
Mon: Boot Camp (6:45am – 7:30am). I don’t exactly dread Monday Boot Camp classes, but I wish we had the same instructor for this one. I don’t feel as if I’m being pushed enough. I sometimes just want to walk away, leave this class and jump on the treadmill. But I never do…
Tues: Boot Camp (5:15pm – 6:15pm) This is the last day that my favorite instructor is doing Boot Camp as she’s going away for vacation for a week-ish. I’ll miss her! :)
Wed: Strength (5:15pm – 6:15pm) It is so good to finally have this class back, and break up my Boot Camp schedule. Alfie’s Obedience School is now on Mondays, which is terrific timing! I also ended up running a mile on the treadmill while waiting for my boyfriend to finish his workout.
Thurs:
Keepin’ on schedule with my Core Conditioning
(5:30-6:00) & Wave (6:00-6:20) classes. Though I might end up switching to a different class as I don’t find this instructor works my core to its full potential. Though I do love the Wave machine! It burns those thighs of mine.

March 7-13
Mon: Boot Camp (6:45am – 7:30am) I was quite weak in this class, and couldn’t lift anything. Little did I know, the very next day I ended up getting a sinus flu and being off work for two days. Sad! :(

March 14-20
Mon: One whole week off from working out. Boot Camp (6:45am – 7:30am) Had another different teacher than the one that makes me yawn and not want to do the workouts. This one was a bit too fast paced. Poor us.
Tues:
Boot Camp (5:15pm – 6:15pm) Our instructor is back from vaycay! YAY! She worked us GOOOOOOOOD. I also ran a 9:30 mile on the treadmill to sweat it out a bit more waiting for my boyfriend to finish up at the gym. Love being on the treadmills next to him hehe!!
Wed: Strength (5:15pm – 6:00pm). We ended up doing a pyramid workout which killed me, as I tried to use 15lb weights in each hand, but sometimes had to swtich back down to the 10lb’ers. After class, I took Alfie for a longggg St. Paddy’s Day walk (short distance, he’s just slow lol)
Thurs:
Instead of my regular class duo of Core Conditioning & Wave, I decided to break up the monotony of that and join a spin class. I did Cycle 2 (5:30pm - 6:15pm). Killer since I’m such a beginner and went up to the next round, but worth it.

March 21-27
Mon: Boot Camp (6:45am – 7:30am) I didn’t sweat in this class. Lame.
Tues:
I skipped today’s workout, mainly to get some cleaning done around the house, and some extra sleep. Since I was ill the previous night!
Wed: Strength (5:15pm – 6:00pm). What can I say about this one month in, and month out? Always a great workout.
Thurs: Cycle 2 (5:30pm - 6:15pm). I think this is my go-to class on Thursdays. End the week with a bang. Incredible workout. I always need to fill up my water bottle during the middle of the class. This cycle class beats the sh** out of me! LOVE it.


March 28- March 31
Mon: I skipped today’s workout. Whoops. After the BF did the 30k road race the day prior, he decided to take a week off the gym. Only I decided not to wake up early.
Tues:
…and today too. I was at the other branch eating potluck! What can I say? :(

Wed:
Strength (5:15pm – 6:00pm) Well. At least I plan on going to this class tonight. We’ll SEE!?

I had no motivation this month. I’ll have to re-do it and set my goals again for attending the gym 4x per week in April. GOALS people. “Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping them up.”

Keep up the great work!

Hey yo — I can pat myself on the back, can’t I? Well. I’m totally doing it regardless. It makes me feel GRRRR-EAT. Tony the Tiger style. Not to be mistaken with Tigger from Winnie the Pooh: Grrrr. That’s G double guh, urrrr!

doUhm. Just a photo. Since it’s been a while. Like my ‘do?

I’ve kept it up all month!! Remember the post I wrote back a few weeks ago about “Getting into a routine?” I’m going to write about my FEBRUARY (workout) ACCOMPLISHMENTS below, and copy the 1st week of February’s gym sesh’s below from my previous post.

♥ February 1-6
Mon:
Sweat (5:30-6:15). What a not so fun class. I hate being un-coordinated and being completely lost and not even sweat a bullet at the gym. Perhaps this is because I haven’t gotten the hang of it yet.
Tues:
Boot Camp (5:15-6:15) — This class literally whoops anyone’s butt. I was so sore for days afterward. This is the second time I went to this class, but I don’t know when I went to it. Maybe December??
Thurs: Core Conditioning (5:30-6:00) & Wave (6:00-6:20). I swear this isn’t my favorite class. It’s just a habit that I attend because on Tuesday’s I have to choose between two awesome classes that are the Boot Camp and Biking. Which is why you’ll see alternating classes on those days.

♥ February 7-13
Mon:
Sweat (5:30-6:15). Alright. I’m never going to this class again. I’m not sweating or getting my heart rate up at all. SEEEYUH.
Tues:
Boot Camp (5:15-6:15). I wanted to skip this class on Tuesday. But I knew it worked, and I knew it would be killer, and I’d feel amazing after. So I went, and I felt all of the above.
Thurs:
Core Conditioning (5:30-6:00) & Wave (6:00-6:20) This week I was sick, or sleep deprived. I wasn’t feeling up to going to the gym at all. But I can’t break my routine!

♥ February 14-20
Sun:
♥♥ HAPPY VALENTINES DAY ♥♥
Mon: Work hiz-oliday. Ohhh yeeeeh. No sweat class today. In fact, I only go to that class so I can squeeze in 3x work outs during a week. This class sucks, since I have no coordination. It’s like a step/dance/moving class. So weird. Oh right, never mind. I quit that class! Har.
Tues: Boot Camp (5:15-6:15) I ended up loving this class today. I felt all pumped up and didn’t get so winded! lol
Thurs: Core Conditioning (5:30-6:00) & Wave (6:00-6:20)
Fri: Boot Camp (6:45am – 7:30am), Yes you read that correctly folks. I woke up early and headed to the gym this A.M. BRUTAL.

♥ February 21-28
Mon: Boot Camp (6:45am – 7:30am) Didn’t like the instructor in this one, and I remember she had us doing laps around the small studio? Hard on those knees.
Tues:
Boot Camp (5:15-6:15). This is my regular instructor who has impeccable energy and I LOVE all of her classes. Two days in a ro
w = rock hard body. lol
Thurs: Core Conditioning (5:30-6:00) & Wave (6:00-6:20). Always a good sweat on Thursdays after the Wave. Oh yeeeh. PUSH YOURSELF!
Saturday: Boot Camp (9:00 – 10:00). Boot Camp, three times a week. I think it’s safe to say I love getting my ass whooped in this class. 2 minute intervals of strength/cardio. Awesome workout that leaves me stank. Lovely way to end the month.

My goal for March? Go 4x a week all month long! My workouts will change as of March, since Alfie goes to Level I of Obedience School which will now be on Mondays! Yippee, I get my strength class back on Wednesday’s after work. Hopefully this will be easy!

Bring it on March!

Keeping track of workouts

I’ve been keeping track of how many days per week I go to the gym. Is anyone interested in actually reading what I do? lol I like to keep a consistent schedule, so it’s not like I’m going to be doing all sorts of sports. But rather keeping track online here, and posting it towards the end of each month. Maybe I’ll do it regardless, since it was easy to read. I posted my January gym routine … at the end of January and I found myself resorting back to see if I was doing better this month.

What do you guys think? Do you keep track of your own workouts?
