I’ve run a couple 1/2 marathons in the past and that worked so well for me because I had a plan…a piece of paper that told me what to do everyday…run 3 miles. run 4 miles. ok. ok.๏ปฟ
I write this with a slightly cringy face a little bit because I sooo know as women we compare like crazy. As soon as someone mentions the gym, our ears perk up, we do a once over on ourselves, pick ourselves apart. Weight/health can be a tricky subject. That’s not why I’m sharing this. You won’t find “before” and “after” body pics from me. I’m not giving you specific number goals…because they’re mine. We can take those numbers and make them ours and mess ourselves up, so I’m not going to add to that chaos.

I don’t want to lose weight with this plan as much as I just want to develop a habit to workout regularly. To be healthier. To be more conscious of the work that goes into being in shape so that I’m more conscious of what I put into this body.

Hmmmm . . . this truely is a challenge for me- but in a GOOD way! Thank you for this! I’ll have to ponder this one- cuz I too wish I had a healthy LIFESTYLE- I would love for exercise to be a part of my routine. Wish I could be your gym buddy! osteopathy
Well you GO girl!!! I'm just excited about starting up a running routine again now that my PT is finally over and I'm mostly pain free! Yeah!!
So excited for you too! I need some motivation soooo bad! I am starting to feel myself aging and its freakin me out!
xo
I can't wait to get back to a workout routine. First goal is a sleep routine then workout.
I am bad about using weights… it will be my new workout goal – get some strength training.
yeah girl! great pics! All of the strength and conditioning coaches here have a motto: "say NO to Cardio!" Ha! They're totally into weight lifting. It's awesome for you, and did you know that the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn, just by sitting around!? Now that's something to cheer for! Good for you girl. Our goals have been similar lately! ๐
uh kinda crushin' on the jamie eason girl. i'm sooooo getting a three ring binder and printing it all out. organizing will be what makes me successful. can't wait to get started!!! thanks for posting about it. i hadn't been on bodybuilding.com in a long time. it was just the motivation i needed.
Ha! This comes on a good day for me. My friend Blair and I started Operation T.E.R.R.D this morning… the early rising running duo. Yes, we're the nerds who need a silly name to keep us motivated! ๐ Love your summer plan.
Love your goals! I'm working on drinking more water too…so far not going so well, but I'm determined to get there one of these days!
Having some serious misgivings about whether exercise can qualify as a HAPPY day challenge. ; ) But yes, exercise does make the body feel good. I loved my P90X routine with my hubby, and I felt so STRONG. But alas, Christmas threw me off the track and six months later, he's 30 lbs lighter and awesome and I'm….eh, about the same as ever. ๐ Thanks as always, for the inspiration, lady. xo, cailan
I love this!! Looks like a good plan; which I am in need of. Just because I am slender doesn't mean I could run for 5 minutes without passing out. {sad, but true confession of the day right there..lol}
I loved you more after I saw your crazy summer plan. ๐ I love a good schedule.
ummm…yeah! gym buddies sounds FUN!
except i've done this with super cool friends before and when we start giggling over something weird, i can't exercise anymore because i lose all my strength! ๐
i do love my running, too, but i'm afraid that i have to incorporate some sit ups for this tummy! and of course, weights wouldn't hurt.
maybe it's time to break out my good ol turbo jam with chalene!
so excited for you! ๐
ps i want before and after pics!
but only because i'm curious of this 12 week plan!

I'm proud of you for getting into this weight routine! I can't do weights. Beyond push ups, I don't do anything for strength beyond running. But running? That I do! And I look forward to it. That's why it's so good to do something that we can enjoy – so we actually do it! I only run outside though. We don't have a gym membership or treadmill. So it's all free! ๐ Happy day, strong lady!!!
