On the fix-up

I woke up this morning and immediately thought, “Damn, I need a massage!”  I’m SO FREAKIN’ SORE!!!  Yesterday was Day 1 of my “Go Hard” workouts.  For the last 2 or 3 months, I’ve been on some real chill, maintenance type workouts which basically consisted on Pilates, crunches, and an occasional light weights session.  But since we have tentative shows coming up (laughs to self…), I want to be way on point, so I’m putting myself through the paces to get back into my athletic shape.  Oh joy!  Not that I look bad now…it’s just that I’m probably the softest and heaviest size 4 you ever saw (lol).  I’m cool, maybe even good, but a chick needs to stay SPECTACULAR!

Since I decided I don’t want to kill or injure myself this time, and I’ve got weeks to get tight and 6-packed up, I only ran a mile yesterday (I haven’t run in about 8 weeks, so my usual 3-5 mile run wasn’t poppin’ off) and then did about 20 minutes of arms and back and, of course, abs.  Today will be another mile, legs, and abs.  The plan is to go 5 times a week.  Week one, 1 mile cardio and alternate which set of muscles I work with the weights.  Week 2, 2 miles a day and weights.  Week 3, 3 miles, etc.  Once I get to 5 miles a day, I’ll switch up my cardio routine.  On the 6th day of the week, I’ll do Yoga or Pilates to stretch it all out, and chill on the 7th day.  I’ll be back to that photo shoot body (or better) in no time!  Yaaay!

Me earlier this year

I also want to get tight because my bday is nearing ‘round the corner, and in addition to the freak’um dresses I plan on rocking (yes, it will be a month long, multi-city celebration!) I plan on taking myself on a vacay to somebody’s beach.  Whether I go with a crew or solo, I WILL be hitting the ocean in November.  If you wanna come….  I don’t want ish jiggling too crazy as I’m playing beach football =)

Ok, let me stretch and get ready to hit this gym….I was gonna blog about some people who are already in the spotlight that might wanna join me in my gym efforts (lol), but I feel like only being sugary-sweet today.  Maybe tomorrow…. smooches!
