FOOTBALL IN HIGH HEELS: IRONMAN PREP GOALS WEEK 1
Now that I am officially preparing for the Ironman, I am putting together a list of weekly goals. I will focus on improving my diet, workouts and overall well being. Here is a list of what I am focusing on this week:
DIET:
Cut back on my Diet Coke consumption (goal is to go from drinking 4 per week to 2)
EAT BREAKFAST! This has always been a big problem for me since I am never hungry in the morning, but I know it is important that I eat. I will start by eating something small and then focus on improving what I eat so I stay fuller longer.
Cut back on mindless eating. I love snacks, so sometimes I eat while watching TV and lose track of how much I am consuming. I will focus on eating healthier snacks and when I do have a treat, make sure I am eating in moderation.
WORKOUT:
Do at least 3 treadmill runs. The goal is to do at least 3 miles and increase a half mile with every run.
Ab/core work every other day.
Strength training on non-treadmill days.
Indoor cycling/spin on non-treadmill days. Since I am a spin instructor, this is easy to fit into my schedule. It will also help me build up my mileage on a bike. (Since it is the middle of winter, I can’t get outdoor biking in, but this will let me get used to being on a bike.)
Sign up for swimming classes at the YMCA.
Stretch for about 20 minutes each day.
Sign up for a virtual run.
OVERALL:
Take a half hour each day to unwind and relax.
Focus on breathing and reiki.
Keep tuning in to follow my Ironman journey and as always, thank you for checking out Football In High Heels.
