I found a kick-boxing class!

... and by kick-boxing, I mean the real deal, with pads and everything! :)

My level of excitement about this is a bit higher than might be expected, because I had thought I found this in the fall, but it turned out to be just an aerobics class that used kick boxing words to describe the movements.

So.

Siam Kickboxing, here I come! I have (in my head) swapped out my planned cross-training exercise of hilly walks on the treadmill for 40 minutes of kick boxing twice a week, probably starting with a free trial class on Thursday of this week.

In other areas, I have developed a detailed daily plan based on cardio and strength training programs I found, and have now found a 6-week meal plan (Women's Health) that seems do-able to add to the mix.

And this morning, I was back to feeling 100% myself, jumped out of bed and headed to the gym to workout for the first time in a couple of weeks only to be informed that my gym membership had expired and then have the renewal take up all of my scheduled workout time. Sigh.

I feel like I will now be back on track tomorrow, instead of today. And my Beginner's Program, instead of ending in March, will run into April. Which coincides perfectly with my planned trip to Mexico, so I guess not really such a bad thing.

Good news, though - weight-wise, I was back on track last week, getting back down to 1 lb. above my pre-holiday weight.

Also, I have found a 5K race to run in the summer, so here's hoping that coincides with the completion of the Novice 5K race and General Fitness program I cobbled together to be completed after this beginner program...

Updated Goals: (Target Date April 5, 2014)

• Book a 7-day trip to Mexico on April 4, sign up for PADI Open Water Diving certification course
• Run for 5K by then
• Be able to do 3 reps of 3:00 planks
• Weigh 190 lbs - 17 lb weight loss!!

Wow. That looks almost scary. Thankfully, I have a plan. Now just to stick to it...
