Destination Jamaica!



At the end of January, Mark and I will be heading to Negril, Jamaica for our slightly delayed honeymoon. I am looking forward to a break from the cold New England temps and most likely the snow that will be here by that time. However, this does of course mean new goal--bikini body by January! At least I could go today and still feel fine out on a beach, but let's face it, it is our honeymoon so it would be nice to feel/look better than fine! I've been back on track overall since the last WMCF challenge. I primarily eat paleo during the week and have a cheat day on the weekends. I'll continue to track this closely (especially during the tricky holiday season), but also want to really be more dedicated with morning fasted cardio workouts. I've been missing a few here and there because I've been tired from a late grad class and working evenings. This will be something that I can at least work on once the class is over on December 4th. I'd like to incorporate more running and swimming into those morning sessions, so I am swimming this week with some triathlon people in Manchester. Hopefully this will get me more motivated during the am sessions. It is really difficult to get up with lack of light and warmth in the morning--one of the reasons I really do not enjoy NH. I'll just have to make it work! I do feel as though I've hit quite a plateau in my fitness and would like to rev up my metabolism, but I'm struggling with how to do this. Thoughts? Comments? Things that have worked for you?

My general workout schedule looks like this on a good week where I get to all my morning sessions:

Mondays- AM cardio (elliptical), XFit in the afternoon
Tuesdays- AM cardio (swim/run), Lunch yoga
Wednesdays- AM cardio (elliptical), lunch boot camp PM xfit
Thursdays- AM cardio (elliptical/walk), xfit or boot camp
Fridays- AM cardio (swim/run), boot camp or pm xfit
Saturdays- AM cardio, am xfit conditioning workout
Sundays- run or rest

If anyone has anything they would add/adjust to give me a leg up on my next goal, please send your comments along!
