Fitness Friday: My Plan for 2013

Today is a good day. I woke up without joint pain, throwing up or any of the other unpleasant stuff that has plagued me this week. So I decided I would outline my fitness plan for 2013.

Yoga: Lots of it.
- I want to take classes at YogaWorks on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays at the very least. This will get me into my favorite Viniyoga class and a more challenging Yoga Blend class weekly. If I have energy, I will go to either Viniyoga or a slightly more challenging YogaWorks (1) class on Saturdays.

- I will take classes in January at Hot8Yoga on Mondays and Wednesdays. It fits my work schedule nicely.



Walking:
- I will walk my dog every morning, unless I'm having some lupusy issue that prevents me from getting out of bed on time. Going for the half mile distance.

- I will start interval training for my 5k on March 16th as part of the LA Marathon. I'll also start raising money for it next week. I know I can walk the entire thing, but since I'm a good 30lbs lighter than the last time I tried to run, it would be nice to see if I can run a part of it.


Weights:
- I am going to work on slowly adding in weights to my exercise routine in the mornings. I have free weights and kettle bells and I know how to use them, even if I haven't in a long time.


Meditation:
- I will sit for 10 minutes daily
- I will define which meditation style suits me best and pursue it in earnest.



My goals:
- Lose 50lbs in 2013
- Get proficient enough in yoga to take the 200hr teacher training in 2014
- Run one mile without stopping
- Get comfortable swinging KBs again.



These aren't resolutions, because these are goals that have been in the making. I am just putting them on paper today to make it official and make myself accountable. I will do a monthly check-in on my progress on these goals to make sure I'm moving along.

Thanks for reading and keeping me motivated :)
