Monday's Intentions

So, here it is, the first Monday of August. For DS's sake, I hope it doesn't fly by.

This month I would love to be able to stick to my points, and be more consistent with my upper body toning exercises. This has always been a problem. I wish I knew how to overcome this lack of enthusiasm towards this. So far, I've done very light weights (2 lbs.) because I didn't want to aggravate  my back. And I started off with 12-14 minute sessions. It's only the last two times that I extended the workouts an extra 5 minutes. I don't think it's done any good, I don't even feel sore when I do them.

I think I'm ready for the 3 lb. weights. I need to discipline myself to do the workouts more often. Maybe if I leave the weights on my desk, that would help.

So, my two goals for this week is, stick to my Weight Watchers plan and do the toning workout 3 days with 3 lb. weights.

Today's To Do...
Upper body workout with 3 lb. weights.
Walk.
Stick to food plan.
House cleaning.
Cook.
Wash a few loads.
Read.

6:52 A.M.
I just did 17 min. of "I Want Those Arms" with the 3 lb. weights. What a difference. I felt my muscles working and I worked up a sweat.  I'm off to shower and then take a walk.
