Really the rules for this are more guidelines, because they are subject to change.
A workout must be done every day. What qualifies as a workout? Any thing that requires extra activity. Some days this might include a walk around the neighborhood. What I am going to do is try different things throughout the city that are available to everyone. I will try some stuff out and provide a review for it on this blog. I am open to suggestions as to what to try. Daily blog posts will begin on Ash Wednesday (February 22), at which time I will post my current weight and body fat percentage (I said in the last post I would sacrifice dignity!)
I do have a few things available to me that I do plan on utilizing. The first is a membership at the Planet Fitness close to my house. Planet Fitness is an economical gym that charges around twelve dollars per month for their memberships, but does not offer group exercise classes or childcare. I don't have children currently, so the lack of child care is not an issue for me.
As I mentioned before, I also have a membership at my place of employment, the Jewish Community Center here in San Antonio. The JCC does offer group exercise classes and has a wonderful drop off facility where members can leave their children while working out. I've only tried a couple of the classes in the three years I've worked there, but during this experience I will try more, as my work schedule permits.
Do I plan on dieting? Nope. I want to tackle one thing at a time. Diet may start after Easter. However, my non-catholic husband does plan giving up french fries and soda, so by extension, my intake of those things will be more limited. Diet is important, and I will try eating a little better than I currently do.
On days when I am pressed for time, I have The Women's Health Big Book of 15 Minute Workouts by Selene Yeager. We'll see how that works out as well.
Wish me luck on my journey! Anyone who wants to workout with me some time let me know! And tell your friends about this blog too!
