Brrrrr!
Seriously, it’s the coldest day of the year in Atlanta but I decided not to let below freezing temperatures deter me from this week’s fitness schedule.
I’m excited to move forward with a new schedule and routine to help me meet my 2012 fitness goals.
While I haven’t set a running goal yet – I’m deciding if a I’m going to do another full or make this the year of the halves - I do have 3 other goals that I’m determined to reach in the first half of this year. Maybe a new birthday goal is brewing. Ahem.
They are:
- To decrease my belly fat and find my abs
- To increase strength & muscle definition
- To increase flexibility
In addition to running at least 4 days a week, I’m adding strength-training and stretching to my weekly schedule. As a former personal trainer I know firsthand what a difference this will make in helping me crush my goals!
Today’s schedule included running and upper-body work.
I knocked out a COLD 3 miles then got busy in the warmth of my living room with two 15lbs dumbbells.
After, I whipped up this protein recovery shake. Vanilla soy milk, chocolate protein powder, frozen strawberries and a banana. I LOVE that being healthy can taste so good!
Now, I’m off to get a little work done. Happy Tuesday … and make sure to do something on-purpose to take care of you!

If you find your abs, will you ask them where mine went?
Nice job getting out there in the cold!
Krystal Grant
It is FREEZING outside. Great job sticking to your goals.

Awesome goals! Tonight I did pilates & crunches. I’m hoping to find my abs this year too. It is so cold up here in New England. It’s supposed to be high of 20 degrees tomorrow. I am not looking forward to running in the cold

I had no idea you were a personal trainer- how awesome! I also plan to do more strength training. I’m going to be doing more power yoga and attending the cardio sculpt class at my gym. I wen tthis week and woke up so sore the next day. Good sign!
Oh yeah, and I’ll be doing at least one half-marathon and I have a 15k scheduled for March. Woot!
