Motivation to work out.. 81 days to go!

Just a rant as i dream of mexico...
Been working out 3 days a week this summer, but there is nothing like a vacation deadline to help you set some new goals. May even get some abs by vacation time for the first time since my 20's!
Strict diet plan, and to the gym twice a day (cardio before work, then weights after) for 5-6 days a week.. will be soo ready for a few beers in december!

mmmm 52 days to go.. 10 lbs to go to hit ideal weight!

 

Alcohol doesn't make you fat... it makes you Lean... on tables, chairs & random ugly people.

I was just checking things out this am in the mirror... told myself better get at it!!
We've been 4 times before and I never did a thing... but when I get back and see pictures... makes me uncomfortable... so going to at least try...
1. first step... thinking about it
2. second step... do somthing about it.
I'll let you know how I'm doing on step 2..
Good luck to you at least you sound like your on the right track..

 

ahh.. 3 months you have plenty of time for huge changes if that's something you want to do. Not everyone's thing of course, but for me i like the challenge of staying on track. My Iphone has great apps to track progress and schedule. And i have a great reward at the end of my 90 day training, a great 2 weeks in the sun!.. (oh i think my gf will enjoy it too!)

 

I had the same thought as you. When I booked my vacation to TTR in July, I immediately started working out, running and dieting. The iphone apps like Lose It!, iFitness and iTreadmill have been the absolute best thing to keep me on my goals. I'm down 25 lbs and am starting to see the muscle definition in my arms and chest. Not to mention for the first time in 15+ years I actually have a 2-pack (getting close to a 4-pack). If this is all it took to get me back in shape, I need to make sure to book trips twice a year.

 

I just completed my first go around with insanity, the workout is nuts but completely worth it. I have two months to go so going to give it another go around and I'm attempting to run a marathon about a week before I hit TTR.

 

Zurc,
What did you think of Insanity? Good results?

 

I've lost 20lbs and I've stayed pretty stable, I'm starting back up with the weight lifting to support the running so I expect to inch up some form that, but all in all I've had no complaints what so ever. My best friend and I are doing it together and he lost the same amount. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who can do it because it is extremely hard and not a novice program to be sure.

 

I am on my third week of P90x and it has already toned me up. I completed it last year before going to Temptations in Dec. and felt awesome when I walked into the lobby. I was 235 last year when I started and got down to 218 for vacation. I actually got down to 204 this summer because I bartend outside in the sun for 50+ hours a week. Started this round at 210lbs and have actually put on 6 pounds of muscle. Already doing 20 chinups on Friday's Leg back workout. I highly recommend making the commitment to the P90x program.

 

I know I'm getting up there... but what the heck is a P90x??? and where would a person get one.... to get in shape I bought a hoola hoop and just got going on that, next maybe a skipping rope and then some old fashion sit ups... I think that might do the trick... and of course diet is a huge factor so I'm told.

 

only 85-90%!
