I’ve just about decided on July’s goals and I’ve decided I need to shorten the window of accountability from a month to a week, so I’ve also decided to join Ragamuffin Soul (Carlos Whitaker) and An Idol Heart (Grant Jenkins) in their 12 week quest to “get their sexy back.”
They’re asking for WEEKLY check-ins. It appears I need that, or I may continue in my pattern of slacking an entire week and flippin KILLING myself to make it up. I’m slightly stubborn.
(“sexyback11?” I know. Guys can relate ANYthing to sex, even exercise and dieting) Kind of annoying that every post is supposed to have the “sexyback11” hashtag. I have to override my computer’s parental controls EVERY time I read someone’s sexyback11 update.)
If you’ve been around Compendium before, you know my goal: To be a good steward of this body God has blessed me with.
Here’s
(1) where I am and
(2) what I need to do within the next two days if I have ANY hope of meeting my goals:

arrrgg. I got on the treadmill too late to complete my next 2 miles. I’m only at 1.39 miles (in 24 minutes). Have to leave the house to pick up PinkGirl from play rehearsal and finish up when I get back.
But I’m okay with that. I could have looked at the clock and blown off the 1.39 miles because I couldn’t finish my goal of walking 2.
3:34pm
Back on the treadmill as soon as I returned home. Finished up that 2nd mile . . . and, since I was already on the treadmill, I added another mile.
4:07pm
Finished my second “make-up” set of strength training exercises for the day.
10 BOSU push-ups,
15 tricep reps,
15 back extentions,
15 oblique crunches.
Running Total for Today: Walked 5 interval, (6.5) incline miles, 20 BOSU push-ups, 30 tricep reps, 30 back extentions, 30 oblique crunches…(so far, day’s not over!)
Got to get some more “real” work done before 5pm. Then, round three!
Who else is working on being a good steward of these bodies God has blessed us with today?
8:30am – Declaration!
I’ve slacked all week on being a good steward of this body God has blessed me with.
Didn’t want to, but got dressed in workout clothes first thing. Today must be a catch up day. MUST.
The plan is to nick away at it all day. at least 6 miles, two at a time. along with the push-ups, tricep kickbacks, back extensions and oblique crunches.
there. I’ve typed it out loud. now I have to do it.
10:25am – accountability update
Two (6.5) incline miles down. (interval miles, even!)
TMI: if I’m going to spread these workouts over my entire day, I’m gonna need to include showers in the plan. “glistening” is for wimps.

Picking Up FirstHusband from the airport at 4:30pm. THANK YOU GOD. He’s been gone since Sunday and my children have worn me as thin as a 10 year old flip flop.
I fell 2 more miles behind on the walking today. I have no good excuse. Not even gonna try to make one up or lie to myself. Just poor time management.

I fell behind on my June fitness goals on the very first day of the month and I’ve been struggling to catch up every day since then.
I REFUSE TO GIVE UP!!! As long as it’s still June, I still have a chance.
Today, I was able to double my daily walking goal, but at the end of the evening, I found myself short a two minute plank and 5 BOSU pushups.
ugh.
I wanted to go to bed. But I KNEW that if I could just handle a lousy two and a half minutes, I could go to bed without waking up disappointed that I allowed myself to fall even further behind.
So I just got it done.

Even with the best of intentions, I’ve (once again) fallen behind this month. After a kick in the badonka donk butt from a few friends, I’m slowly closing the gap between my goals and my progress! I pray my lack of consistency, combined with my freakish self-competitive streak, will be an encouragement to someone!

Even with the best of intentions, I still slack – for days at a time. But I’m DETERMINED to catch up! I pray my stupidity and lack of consistency, combined with my stubborn nature, will be an encouragement to someone!
