Happy Hump Day!!!!!!
I got up and went to an AM spinning class, being active feels so good and keeps any stress and depression away. It was very obvious that I hadn’t taken a spin class in awhile……I wanted to die.
I went at about 75% of my max and was still dead at the end
Need to get my butt to spin class more often.
Stopped at the store to pickup a prescription and grabbed some much needed broke people food
Actually I just like to have stock on hand for when a craving hits or I don’t feel too good. I’m not broke yet thankfully.
Lots of laundry going on
A short but powerful thunderstorm hit and the puppies freaked out. I got some cuddles
I had great (but unhealthy) leftovers for lunch
My man took me out for a sorry you got fired, but yay you can sleep in dinner hahahaha!!! I love Mexican food.
Time to check in and see if i made it to all my workouts. Comments will be in bold.
Here was the plan:
Monday: Insanity Day 1 Did not happen, I came home and just wanted to cuddle with my dog.
Tuesday: PM Strength training and 1 mile fast (for me lol) 12 min mile pace then .1 mile hills x 6 at a 2 incline DONE!!!! Though it was 5 hills instead of 6 because i felt good and did the last hill as .2 miles instead of .1. It felt good, i wasn’t dead after which is awesome progress.
Wednesday: OFF
Thursday: PM Strenght training and 2.5 miles at tempo (12:30, see i told you i am slow) did not happen, took the day off
Friday: OFF actually ran 1.5 miles before heading to the beach
Saturday: Am Spin class followed by 450m swim ran 1.5 miles on the beach and hiked up a giant sand dune
Sunday: 5 miles slow and yoga ran/walked 2.5 miles all over the beach and up a giant sand dune
How i did: i feel ok with how i did but it could have been better
What i could have done better: not skipped Mondays workout
How was my food consumption: ugh not bad but not great. Ate out Thursday through Sunday
Comment and let me know how your workouts went this week.
Happy Thursday!!!!!
I don’t know about you but I sit at a desk all day, and as they are starting to tell us, that is bascially a death sentance. So I Googled some stretches you can easily (and inconspicuously) do at your desk. I have started doing them and they do help and feel good.
Obviously this feels super great since i am a runner and it stretches your IT bands.
This feel super great, especially if i slept funny and my back is tweaked.
These are awesome too to get the blood flowing and wake me back up in the afternoon.
Stretching is sooooo good for you, whether you sit at a desk or not get it some stretching today!!!!
Check in with a comment when you have stretched!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good morning!!!
My goal this week is 2 strength sessions and at least 4 runs.
Also I am going hiking this weekend! So this should be a pretty fitness based week!
My other goal is that I MUST get the last 4 boxes out of my room.
What are your goals this week?
How are your workouts going this week?
I ran Tuesday and Wednesday morning, this morning i slept in so i will be dragging my butt to the gym tonight to do some weights. My goal is to get in, do some weights and get out. I want to be quick and efficient. I need to get some leg workouts in and some arm workouts. I am not too worried about my abs because that tones as i run and do all the other stuff.
I miss weighted squats!!! Who would have thought?! Moving has thrown my whole schedule off so i am trying to get a new schedule set. Also i am dating someone so that is taking up some time. Got to balance the life!
Also i really need to find my book to study so i can start working on my personal training certification. Unpacking will be a serious theme this weekend.
Now send me some strong will to only have 1 scoop of the ice cream that will be served and work today.
Excuses, Excuses is right! All i have had lately are exucses.
I have not worked out since THURSDAY!!! That is 4 days! Thankfully i am meeting a client tonight to do some cardio with so i can snap myself out of this funk. I need get my butt back into gear.
This is why you are never supposed to go more than 2 days in a row without working out, you fall into a no workout funk…….or maybe that is just me.
My excuses have been that my dog wants to cuddle (which is amazing, puppy cuddles are the best), that i just plain dont want to get out an run today, that i trained someone (thats counts as a workout right?) Etc, Etc.
I am going to use you guys to keep me honest for the next week, if you dont see a workout on this blog feel free to CALL ME OUT!
Good morning!!!
Well someone, ahem Artemis, woke me up at 3:30am again to go to the bathroom so I slept through my morning run……and my alarm clock, waking up with about 20min max to get out the door to make it to work. But I did it!!!!
This is what I woke up to
There are raindrops on the lattice lol
I LOVE rainy days.
It is funny to me that most people today are being grumpy about the rain. 1) we live in the pacific northwest, rain is part of life 2) it has been a few weeks since we had rain 3) not this weekend but next weekend is supposed to be almost 100!! Enjoy the coolness now. 4) it is already clearing up and should be nice the rest of the day and the weekend.
Maybe i am a little biased because I love the rain but it is good for everything and everyone to have a little rain before a hot streak.
That is my morning.
I had packed and planned to go to the gym after work and run and swim but i just got a text from the roommate and the realtor wants to show the house at 7pm tonight and she has dinner. My plans are more easily movable so moved now they are. I can run at home, i had planned a short tempo run but i can’t swim at home……… hmmm well maybe i will change it so that i swim tomorrow and sunday instead. Such is life, we must be flexible or we will break!!!!
Are you good at being flexible?
How do you feel about the rain?
