This weekend I received one of the books that I ordered from Amazon to help me with my goal of “more energy”. The book is titled “The Oxygen Diet Solution.” If I follow the diet exactly as laid out in the book, I will be eating a lot of eggs for breakfast and salad for lunch and dinner.
Using the book, I was able to come up with an exercise routine. My plan is to exercise 6 days a week.
Monday – 30 minutes weights/30 minutes cardio. For the cardio, I will be using the Couch to 5K program to train for the Color Run I signed up for.
Tuesday – 45 minutes cardio. (Spin Class at the gym.)
Wednesday – 3o minutes weights/30 minutes cardio.
Thursday – 60 minutes cardio. I will split this using my at home work out equipment. I have a treadmill and an elliptical trainer.
Friday – 45 minutes cardio. (Spin class at the gym.)/30 minutes of weights. I usually come home right from the gym to read the paper and start my day. This will be the hardest day to do….I will have to cut something out of my morning routine to get in that extra 30 minutes without being late for work. (Technically, I have Friday’s off but tax season is gearing up so I think Friday’s off will be going by the wayside until after April 15.)
Saturday – 60 minutes of cardio. (Spin class at the gym.)
Sunday – Active rest.
Every day I will still need check my pedometer to make sure that I am walking 10,000 steps per day. From my past experience, even though I exercise in the morning, it is hard to get in the 10,000 steps.
I was proud of myself this weekend. I worked on one of my “nagging projects”. Maybe I will be able to finish it tonight while I am watching “Biggest Losers.” I also worked on cleaning up in my office. I have a rather huge pile to take to the Goodwill place.
In the book, “The Happiness Project”, the key to success was to keep a log. I did e-mail Grethen Rubin and she sent me her Resolutions Chart. I started on my own chart but I am not happy with it. I am making it a goal this week to get my chart arranged in such a way that I can start using it and hopefully, be successful in my project.
