Welcome: Rosey's 6-Week Fitness Journey

We're starting again with our next Shift (check-out Angie's Week 6 Final Reveal if you missed it!). This time Feasibly Fit Mom reader, Rosey, is getting back to herself with a custom fitness plan that gets her moving with cardio and into the routine of regular exercise. She's also cutting the sugar out of her life so she can focus on and enjoy even sweeter things, like family and travel.

Tune in on Wednesdays for the next 6 weeks to witness an incredible transformation!

Let's find out more:

1) What is your inspiration to starting this plan?

Angie ... she really inspired me!

2) Where are you going to workout? What equipment will you use?

I will be working out at home.  For my workouts I'll be using the treadmill, weights, bands, and yoga/Pilates DVDs.  For some fun, I will probably add Wii Fit activities.

3) What are you looking forward to most?

Getting back on track with an exercise program.  A move and two new grandbabies really derailed my exercise schedule, especially cardio, so now it's time to get  back into a good routine.

4) What is going to be the greatest challenge?

Staying off sugar ... it's my vice.

5) How can readers best encourage you?

Simple words of support would be great.

Here are her before pictures -- she wanted to go anon, so we had a little fun with her disguise. Let's be as supportive and encouraging in comments as we were with Angie. You all were awesome!

What's Rosey's plan look like?

We're easing her into some cardio workouts in the a.m. to rev her up for the day. Also, by working out earlier (before 9:00am), we're hoping to get her hormonally-influenced sleep patterns back on track. Since her days don't all look the same, she has a "bank" of activities and sugar-free days to allocate over the week. This is just a start and we'll kick it up at around Week 4 just to boost it a bit more, while increasing sugar-free days. 

Rosey is a pretty tech-savvy grandma, but she says she prefers marking things off lists and physically recording her progress. So I made her this weekly tracker using sticky notes that she can place under each day. That way, she knows exactly where she stands each day of the week.
