January is ¾ of the way over, can you believe it?! I feel like we just celebrated Christmas and now it’s nearly February. Red hearts and chocolate adorn every department, grocery and convenience store I walk into. So with all of this being said, I know you guys are in the middle of or almost done with your 30 or 60 day challenges and I hope you all keep up that momentum. I know a lot of people say that if you do anything for 21 days, it becomes habit. I’m not sure that I believe that as in my case I’d say it took a solid 45 for my exercise “habit” to kick in.

I’m so glad I pushed through and persevered through all the days I’d come home from work and force myself into my workout gear. “It’s only a 25 minute workout Claudia. You can do ANYTHING for 25 minutes and it’ll be over before you know it!” That was my usual pep talk and 9 times out of 10, it worked. My body began changing, my clothes got looser and people started noticing. Once that happened, that was all the affirmation I needed to keep this thing up. It’s cliché but nothing worth having comes easy, a fit body included. You guys rock, KEEP IT UP!

So it’s Thursday and I must run. We have that pesky “cold front” blowing through down here in Texas so for me, that means it’s a treadmill run. I don’t do cold. So inside I’ll be for an easy 4 mile run. My week thus far has shaped up as follows:

SUNDAY: OFF
MONDAY: 60 minute Workout at Home – Strength, Cardio, and Abs
TUESDAY:  slow paced strength workout at the gym (see below)
WEDNESDAY: OFF
THURSDAY: 4 mile Run (easy)
FRIDAY: TBD but probably another strength workout
SATURDAY: 5 miles at a 5k pace aka FAST

Coach Kozak clearly created a monster as evidenced by our text message conversation in reference to my workout. So I like to workout out. Sue me. 😉
