so to ensure that i wont go MIA again, ive included blogging on my new year resolution .. yep i AM that obsessed i guess, i did make a 2013 resolution after all , lol. But ive added a twist to it, it will impress you lol

    long list i know and every year, i fail to achieve 60% of the list and i got a plan for this year's resolution. Ill consider it a success if i could check atleast 18 items of that list. The plan is to break it down to MONTHLY GOALS and these monthly classes to be broken to weekly and daily goals ..
    
    for example, when it comes to working out. My goal in january is to ESTABLISH A HABIT, it doesnt matter how long or hard i am training as long as im doing atleast 20min workout everyday . It doesnt matter if it was a dvd, elliptical or just walking around the block. And i broke ir down further to weekly goals, so in week 1, i should workout atleast 3 times a week, week 2, 4 times , week 3, 5 times and week 4, 6 days a week . And ive already made a serious schedule which fitted 2hrs of workout everyday but its starting to get stressful and overwhelming so ill ease it off a bit. I was working hard coz i really wanna tone up for my bro's wedding in march but so far this led to nothing but muscle cramps and sore body which affected my workout the next day . Realisticly speaking, even if i woked out 3hrs a day, i wont have the body i dreamt off by march so ill aim for the summer and take my time working out. The plan is to establish a habit of daily workout in january, establish stamina in feb , add weight training and resistence by march and then maybe start challenging my body . It sounds realistic right ?
    Im doing les mills body combat and although i dont find it as challenging as the biggest loser but ill just use it to build a habit, i was so tempted to switch my workout to something more challenging because i wanted results quicker but im currently practising self restrain and impluse control and most importantly, patience. Gotta tell you, its NOT easy at all.
    As for other goals, i broke em down. Like reading quraan, i started with twice a week in january then 3 times a week in feb and you know, gradually .. again, the aim is to establish a habit too and blogging too, so the aim is to blog atleast once a week for january ( but of course i want more ) and then build it up lol .. you gotta keep in mind, i got a very busy life so these minor tasks might seem so easy to you but trust me, they are not to me .
    
    Alright then, so for january :
    - work out atleast 30min, 4 days a week
    
    - make it to fajer prayer
    - read quraan atleast 2 days a week
    - memorize at least 4 page a month
    
    one book a month
    this is my list ROUGHLY, i might change it .
    
    

	AM	PM	Night
Saturday	Cardio: Elliptical	BC: combat 30 (30m)	Chest and triceps
Sunday	Cardio: Elliptical Zumba optional	BC: hit power (30m)	Abs routine
Monday	Sculpt: Turbo upper	BC: combat 45(45m)	None
Tuesday	Sculpt : turbo abs + 10min trainer	Elliptical	Back and biceps routine
Wednesday	Legs and shoulders routine	BC: HIT plyo(30m)	None , Elliptical if psbl
Thursday	Sculpt: core turbo	BC: 30	None , Elliptical if Psbl
Friday	REST DAY

Thats my working out schedule. AM means 6 am before work, PM means 6pm after work. Night means 10pm before sleep and i realized that its way too much so for the first week, im only doing my AM-PM and im actually trying to find a way to make it only AM .. because im usually really tired after work and when i excercise, i end up extremely fatigued and cant study anymore and thats bad ... so im trying to do body combat as cardio in AM and maybe do targeted turbofire and forget about those routine workouts. I dont mind adding elliptical in PM, its only 20min and i usually watch anime while working out and it doesnt tire me that much .. anyway im still experimenting witb the workout and trying to focus on establishing a habit ( gotta keep reminding myself of that ) :P
