I actually earned 29 activity points last week – yay!
I just wish the Olympics were on every day, there’s just something so motivating about watching athletes in supreme condition. Apparently, I need to have marathons on every time I am doing a distance run on the treadmill – I could have run for two hours while watching the men’s marathon, although I would have run less than half the distance!
For this week, I am going to focus on eating fewer carbs. I’m stalling a little bit on the weight loss, and my body seems to respond to that well, even though I hate it b/c I love my carbs!
Cindy, I forgot to add, THANK YOU for the lotion – it smells fantastic!
I failed. Next goal race is now 3 weeks from this past Sunday.
This week I need to just get some miles in with a quality speed session.
hey, i did well, i did all my runs with the temp orthotics and iced foot/leg a bunch. feeling good. the 8 miles was good, i just went slow, foot felt good, just soreness in the legs to be expected. i also did a strength training session which i think helped AND i did try the gel on my run, a berry flavored one.
this week, run 3 monday, 5 tuesday, wed- off, thur run 3miles and saturday run 10 miles. not sure i will get a strength training session in this week. hope to get my orthotics in this week as well. and need to keep icing foot
I did pretty good at getting up with my alarm clock & tried getting to bed at those times, but a couple of them didn’t happen due to late night phone calls from my mom
My new goal is to keep up with the bedtime & try to work 1-2 days Pilates workouts into my morning routine.
My goal is to walk 3 days this week!
Wow! I won! That is very exciting. Thank you!
This is my last week of boot camp, so I am going to keep my goal the same for the third week in a row: Boot Camp M/W/F and run at least three miles on Tu/Th.
Next week is where the challenge will lie. What am I going to do once boot camp is over?
Hi… this is my first time on this website. My goal this week is to get back to the gym M/W/Sat and to finally get back to using the elliptical that I made my husband buy on T/TH. Also need to get my water intake back up to at least 64oz/day.
Feeling much better, thank you!
Goals for this week:
3 Turbo Kick classes
2 Spin classes
50 reps/5x-Ab Coaster
50 stability ball crunches a day
Starting next week, the Tuesday Turbo Kick class will now be 60 min. instead of 50 whew
Have a great week everyone!
For Firemom:
