    I don't have a plan. What should I do? I tried so hard to lose weight for my daughters baptism and now that it is gone I feel lost. I need some goals. I don't know what to do with myself anymore. Im making bad decisions with my food but I want to start all over. I like your plan for the week. I would love to run but I am too busy and with my 4 kids running is out of the question. Can you help me create a plan for my week.

    I work out at home with my DVD's. I drink lots of water. I used to work out in the morning before everyone woke up but now that I have a new addition its hard so I work out at night time.

    Any ideas?

    I like to workout before work. I like to get it out of the way and then do "bonus" workouts after work (time permitting). If I wait until AFTER work-a lot of times it doesn't get done. I make excuses for myself about how "hard I worked" and how "tired I am". Truth is...I'm tired of being overweight and not being able to do the things I want to because I'm embarrassed of how I look and my LACK of stamina.

    I love Mondays because I can "plan for the week" I make a PUBLIC post, print it and post it somewhere where I will see it.

    One of the challenges I'm doing right now is 100 miles in December. Just as the title suggests-complete 100 miles (any way you want to) before the end of December.

    My suggestion:
    Start with a SMART goal (SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ATTAINABLE, REALISTIC, TIMELINE)

    Create a SPECIFIC and MEASURABLE goal-What exactly do you want to do? How much do you want to weigh, how long do you want to workout, how often, etc. etc.

    With ATTAINABLE and REALISTIC requirements-Do not create goals like "I'M GOING TO WORKOUT FOR 6 HOURS EACH DAY"-if the goal is not realistic or attainable then you will only be disappointed when it inevitably fails.

    Put a TIMELINE on it (due dates)-Set a realistic due date for yourself (like you did with your daughter's baptism)

    REWARD YOURSELF (not with food). When you meet your goal-how will you celebrate? Buy a new purse? New pair of shoes? Or even have a girls day.


    BE CONSISTENT-set aside time each day you plan to workout and follow through. It's hard to be consistent I know! I have MULTIPLE accountabil-a-buddies lol I like to go on walks during my lunch break with a fellow coworker, workout with my younger sisters and this group too!

    Feel free to personal message me if you need anything specific!

    CECYVAQUERO-how is your plan going? Are you able to wake up early enough to workout before you start your day?!?
