Workout Routine ~ Probably a bit too ambitious HA

So I have been sitting here planning out a workout routine. Now I know I can't possibly workout every day like I ultimately want to, nor twice a day as you will see I have outlined. However I thrive on a set schedule. If I know I have a plan, I typically find a way to pull it off. If I don't have it planned, more often than not I miss it or find some excuse to avoid it. With that being said I planned to do something for every morning and every evening. Now if I miss one here or there, it won't be the end of the world as there is enough to make up for it. I am definitely kicking the weight loss routine into high gear. I have seen what working out maybe three times a week can do with eating right, so now I shall see what 7 days a week will do....

Mon

Sat

Now the situp routine will be the following:
200 crunches (workout routine till I can do 200 consecutively) using the ball
60 second break
50 cross crunch (25 each side)
50 bicycle crunches
25 leg lifts
60 second break
25 knee ups
45 second static hold
25 reverse crunch
60 second break
25 hip thrusts
50 cross reverse crunch (25 each side)

For the 200 crunches, I have started the 200 crunch workout routine. Slowly working up to 200 crunches. I will do the program at the start then finish with all the other situps. Once I complete the program, I will just start with 200 regular sit ups. Mind you I probably screw up the names a bit, I can read them and know what I am supposed to do, when I get a few more minutes I will add the descriptions to each one.

Now once I complete the c25k, those times on the elliptical will just be a 30 minute run with 5 minute cool down and warm up. The off days where it just says 30 minutes on the elliptical will just be a brisk walk with a 5 minute warm up and a 5 minute cool down, alternating going forward and reverse.

Now I realize reading this probably sounds like I am a kook that is way too ambitious and will likely hurt myself... while this argument does have some merit. I know how I am and know that some of the times will be skipped weekly. However if I skip the day that I was scheduled to do c25k, I will not adjust the next day's workout, instead I will just pick the missed c25k workout back up on the next schedule day. This works better for me cause then I know what I expect to complete.

I am hoping setting it out this way, will get me to do more, increase weight loss and get me started on those 6-pack abs... I so may dread making that bet, but it is good motivation for me as I am way too competitive.
