I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Goals from last week went really well.  I had to make a few amendments, but still accomplished everything.

Mon: 3 mile walk & Total Body Cardio

Tues: C25K W2D1 & Upper Fix

1.84 miles 21:02 - So close to 1.85!

15,754 steps

Wed: Hiking & Lower Fix

It rained most of the day so hiking was out of the picture. Instead a did a 2 mile walk in 30:05

16,283 steps

My team swept both games again!

Once again, hiking didn't happen.  We were supposed to go camping with my parents, but we canceled due to rain.  I did get another 2 mile walk in though.

Sun: C25K W2D3 & Dirty 30

1.73 miles in 21:01

My legs were soooo tired after a week of hard workouts so I took this run nice and slow.

Goal 1: Get 15,000+ steps at least 4 days

4/4 days 14,805 average

Goal 2: Log more than 1.85 miles during one of my runs

Only complete during one run, but was SO close on Tuesday

Goal 3: Complete full week of 21 Day Fix workouts

All seven workouts (Total Body Cardio Fix, Upper Fix, Lower Fix, Pilates Fix, Cardio Fix, Dirty 30, and Yoga Fix) completed.

Completing my goals for this week could potentially be challenging.  My brother is getting married this weekend, and I am in the wedding party.  I have going to try my hardest to get all my workouts in, but it is going to be a busy weekend!

Weigh-In

Welcome to another weigh-in!

Starting: 186.6

Last Week: 184.1

This Week: 183.8

Total Lost: -2.8

A puny loss this week, but a loss all the same.

I really thought I was going to see a big change because I have been eating really well and exercising everyday.  I know the scale is not the most important thing in a healthy lifestyle, but it still can be very motivating and/or discouraging.  Discouragement was unfortunately the first feeling I had after stepping on the scale this morning, but I won't let it get me down.  Even if the number on the scale isn't moving much, I know I am making good choices, have more energy, and my clothes are fitting better.

The week is going well so far.  As I said, I have been eating well and getting my workouts in.

Mon: 3 mile walk & Total Body Cardio
3.09 mile walk
Tues: C25K W2D1 & Upper Fix
1.84 miles in 21:02...sooooo close to getting 1.85+!
15,754 steps
Wed: Hiking & Lower Fix
Hiking unfortunately didn't happen because we have had a lot of rain the past few days and the trails are a mess.  Instead, I just walked in our neighborhood for about 45 mintues total.
16,036 steps
Thurs: Volleyball (2 games) & Pilates
Fri: C25K W2D2 & Cardio Fix
Sat: Hiking & Yoga
Sun: C25K W2D3 & Dirty 30

With the extra cardio and strength training I am doing with the 21 Day Fix videos, hopefully I will have a big loss next week!

Weekly Goals

Welcome to a new week!

I was a little late on the uptake last week, and did not set any goals, but I did do a quick workout schedule.

Wed: C25K W1D1
60run/90walk intervals 1.62 miles in 20:01

Thurs: Volleyball
won all 3 sets 25-22, 25-16, 25-10

Fri: C25K W1D2
60run/90walk intervals 1.64 miles in 20:01

Sat: 30 minute walk

Sun: C25K W1D3

I was hoping to extend the motivation I had during the middle of the week throughout the weekend, but that didn't quite happen.  We had a get together at our house Saturday evening so they earlier part of the day was spent cleaning and cooking.  I didn't get out for a walk, but I did do about an hour of yard work.  I may have imbibed a bit much at our party, so most of Sunday was spent recovering.  I didn't run, but I did get back outside for another 2 hours of yard work.  Based on how sore I am today, the yard work was still a great workout!

Even after 3 hours of weeding and digging up random, ugly plants, Nick and I still have a TON of yard work to do.  We bought a new house in June, and are just now getting to cleaning up the yard.  The previous owners were slobs and did not take every good care of the house or yard so we have a lot of catch up to do.  The flower beds are all over grown and the hedges and trees need trimming.  We are slowly making progress, and by next spring, it will be beautiful!

Moving onto this week, here is my workout schedule, and goals.

Mon: 30 minute walk
Tues: C25K W1D1 & volleyball subbing
Since I didn't complete the week last week, I'm starting over.  No moving on until I finish the week!
