Hello, I am making progress. I need to stop eating junk food! I let myself get to hungry and then grab what I can. That is going to be my goal this week!
I keep myself so busy, that I don’t take the time to eat until I am really hungry. I have a good start, though. Thanks,Cindi

I’ve done better, but not good enough. It is definitely a work in progress. (and blogging/surfing late at night doesn’t help!)

Yea, I did it! Actually, I managed to exercise 6 days of the week, but it was less than 45 minutes on two of those days.

This week, I’m working on maintaining my 45/4 commitment, and adding cutting snacks after supper. This I think will be a bigger struggle than exercise, since I’d already been working on establishing a habit of exercise, even if it was short periods of time each day.

I ran just under 60 miles last week, got in a great goal race pace run (2 miles w/u, 6 miles at 6:00/mile pace, 2 miles c/d), and my “long” run wasn’t really all that long. I only ran 12.5 easy, although I managed to get in a bit over 9 miles on Sunday after the Olympic Marathon Trials.

I did spend a lot of time on my feet this weekend, since I got down to watch the Marathon Trials and the Boston Marathon. It was a lot of fun; one of my teammates was 16th at the trials and ran 2:38! “That ain’t walkin’…”

This week I’m taking it easy. I’ll aim for a good workout tonight or tomorrow night (depending upon whether we can get our webserver back up or not) and then will aim at running in the 40s or low 50s for mileage. Less than 2 weeks to the marathon.

My goal for the week is to complete a minimum of 5 cardio sessions of 30 minutes each and 2 body sculpting sessions.

Thanks for the accountability Cindy, I’ll definitely accomplish my goals!

Cindy, how’s the week going?

I’m back in town. But I had some good runs while in California. And I continued with training here at home. It’s felt great!

So my goal this week is to run three days and strength train three days. I have one run and one train already behind me!

The house isn’t worthy of the front page of Homes and Gardens, but it’s much much cleaner! And speaking of gardens, I did get my hands dirty and dug out the weeds from the garden. It felt good and productive. And it was a pretty decent workout too.
This week I really want to focus on exercises to protect my knee and strengthen the muscles around it. My right knee doesn’t track very well, and I get runner’s knee very easily. I haven’t been very good with my strength training and stretching exercises designed for my knee. But with the spring and warmer weather, I feel more motivated.
I actually began my leg exercises a couple weeks ago – off and on. This week, though, I want to spend a little time each day working on them.

Couch to 5K went really well. I’m having some trouble with the 7th running circuit. I’m good for all the rest of them, but the 7th one is knocking me for a loop and I’m having to slow to a walk 10-15 seconds before it’s ended.

Because of this, I plan to continue Week One for another week before moving on to Week Two.

My goal for this week is to focus on cooking: I’m teaching basic cooking for beginners over the internet (EEEK!) and I need to take a step back from what I cook regularly and start viewing my processes from a beginners point of view.

My intent for this week is to pay more attention to what I’m doing in the kitchen and actually follow the processes that I’m teaching. (reading all the way through a recipe more than once; prepping all my ingredients before I start cooking, etc) I also want to try at least two new recipes this week from other “starter” cookbooks to see if I can improve or better explain the processes there, since some of my students have complained about these recipes being “too hard.”
