Fitness Friday!

I am proud of myself. 6 workouts this week.


Upcoming:


I had to rest today. My hips and glutes are so sore.

What a Week!

I'm trying to get away from the scale for a few weeks. I've been using the scale as a decision about whether I have a good or bad week. For Lent, I've decided to give up giving up. So I need to step away from the numbers and the counting and rely on my body to help me know when to nourish it.
I'm also determined to keep my consistent exercise up. Here was last week:



Not a good week. It started off with snow and I quickly went into hibernation.
So this week is getting off to a good start:



One of my short term goals is to do a mile a day. Run, walk, bike (which is actually 3 miles on the bike) or swim 1/2 mile. I started on 3/6/14. Let's see how many days I can go.

Upcoming Plan

Since I'm not going to Little Rock 1/2 marathon, I have time to make an exercise schedule.



Last week's schedule and follow through



My other goal: eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies and only 4 sweets for the week.

Weigh in Friday

189.0

After a stressful week (see my other blog), L was sick... A 1.8 pound weight gain is fair enough.

Exercise

So one of my downhill goals is to be stronger and fitter.

Here was last week's schedule. I added notes when it didn't happen

Wow

Okay,  I've been discouraged about my weight.  After Christmas, it steadily went up from 184 to 191 pounds and I've been stuck.  I'm reading a book that has been very enlightening (I'll post more on that when I've finished the book).  I decided to forgo counting WW points this week and focus on eating healthy, when I'm truly hungry and exercise. 

Here's my exercise for last week:

Saturday: nothing
Sunday: ran 10 miles
Monday: weights for 10 minutes, swam for 30 minutes.
Tuesday: rested
Wednesday: spin class for 45 minutes and rowed for 10 minutes.
Thursday: Zumba class for 60 minutes and weights for 15 minutes.

And I lost FOUR pounds!!!!!
I was 191.2 pounds last Friday and 187.2 pounds.

Way to go me!!!

What a Cold Week

Weight today: 188.8.  That's down a pound or so. 

Diet: I did well.  I kept track of my WW points and didn't go over.

Exercise: I slept last weekend so I didn't run or bike.  But I biked on Monday and Tuesday and shoveled snow on Wednesday for my workouts.

This week coming up is going to be a crazy week again. My goals are simple: don't use food to fuel my anxiety.  Keep life as steady as possible. 

Sat: bike for 30-40 minutes, weights for 5-10 minutes

Sun: run 2 hours (so 8-10 miles) on the mill.  It's too cold to be outside.

Mon: bike for 30 minutes.

Tues: try to get up early and do walk incline intervals for 30 minutes.

Wed: bike for 35 minutes Weights

Thurs: rest or Zumba
