So I have followed my last blog posts plan to a "T". I did open skate on Saturday and worked on smaller skills while just getting rink time in. I did both derby practices on Sunday and the one on Monday. What surprised me the most is while I was a bit sore and achey, today I'm not feeling it at all. I guess I'm finally getting back in to the swing of skating and the workouts are finally making a difference. This to me means, time to up the ante!!
Tomorrow is another derby practice, the last for the month. I will be doing speed on Friday and then it's on to my newest tool, my Slide Board for my skating workouts for the coming weeks. There will be some open skate sessions I can do as well, but mainly I'll be relying on the slide board to maintain my derby fitness and keep me on track for tryouts.
As today was a rest day, I really watched what I ate and logged everything in to MyFitnessPal. Unfortunately tonight I have a bit of the blues and that's when I know I'm vulnerable to stress/boredom eating. I recognized it though and made the choice to instead sip on water and focus on puttering around the house. Next up will be some stretching, maybe some basic core work, upper body weights and then a hot bath. But I WILL NOT give in to temptation, though they are many this time of year: caramels (homemade), chocolates, fudge, cookies etc.
As I spent my day doing the various household things a mom does on a daily basis, I put together some simple goals and my workout plan for the upcoming Beachbody "Reveal the New You" challenge. I submitted everything to my coach and will be posting the entire shebang here once its finalized to both of our satisfaction. I tried to keep my goals simple and my workouts realistic. I have to work them in around derby, so that's what we're customizing.
The basics of the plan go something like this, with plan 1 and 2 alternating each week:
PLAN 1
Sunday - StretchX and Derby
Monday - Derby
Tuesday - Chest & Back / Ab Ripper X (ARX)
Wednesday - Derby
Thursday - Shoulders & Arms / ARX
Friday - Speed Skating / Back & Biceps / ARX
Saturday - Core Synergistics / Rest Day / Yoga X (depending on how I feel)
PLAN 2
Sunday - StretchX and Derby
Monday - Derby
Tuesday - Chest, Shoulders & Tri's / ARX
Wednesday - Derby
Thursday - YogaX
Friday - Speed Skating / Back & Biceps / ARX
Saturday - REST DAY / Stretch X
This is not the finalized plan and obviously is not for everyone. The goals of this are to balance the intense leg workouts that I get with derby and speed skating with some upper body, core and back strengthening.
Off to finish up my rest day and figure out my plan for the rest of this month. Once I have the rest of December outlined, I'll post it here!
Happy Holidays!
