Goals Link-Up

Workout:

30 minute walk on my lunch break

30 minutes on stationary bike

20 minutes of strength training

30 minute walk with dogs

Today, I started Jamie Eason’s LiveFit strength program.  I am just doing the strength moves, not following the diet and cardio plans.  My main focus is running so I have to keep up with my own running schedule.  My arms now feel like jello, but I am super pumped to do this program and see some results.  My upper body strength is pretty pathetic so I can’t wait to start getting some definition and much needed strength!

It’s time again to link up with the fabulous Jess over at Operation Skinny Jeans to talk about goals.  I give myself a C+ on my goals last week.  I was supposed to run 25 miles total last week, but only ran 19, which did include a single 12 mile run, so I am fairly happy with that outcome.  I was supposed to track every single morsel that went in my mouth, but that did not happen.  There were at least 3 days that I gave up tracking on MyFitnessPal after lunch, and just didn’t finish out my log for the day.  My final goal for last week was to slow down my eating.  I think I did a great job with this.  Nick and I talked more during dinner which helped me slow down.  I also worked on taking smaller bites and chewing them more. 

This week, my goals are:

1. Get into the 150s.

I usually weigh in on Wednesday, which I will do again this week, but next I will weigh in on Monday to see if I achieved this goal or not.

2.  Walk every day during my lunch break, weather permitting.

I have an hour long lunch at work and I usually use it to take a class.  Classes are over for the summer, and I usually end up just eating at my desk while I work and I don’t take advantage of the full hour.  Today, I ate while working, but decided to spend a half an hour walking outside.  It felt so great to get out of the office and move.

3.  Eat at least 3 different veggies a day.

My veggie intake has been lacking lately.  I’ve been in a rut and have just been eating raw carrots or celery, and I usually just eat them at lunch.  I want to try to eat a veggie at every meal, and eat others rather than just carrots and celery.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!
