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.
Hi friends!!! I am going to try a little challenge on the blog!! I hope you will join in.
It is going to be very simple, travel a mile a day on your own energy.
You can:
walk, bike, swim, run, row and anything else you can think of that can take you the distance. For anything water based there are 1609.34 meters in a mile. As for steps in a mile i found this on beach body blog:
it is also totally ok to combine several of these to make a mile, you could swim 800M and walk half a mile or swim 400m, walk half a mile and row 400m, you chose each day how you want to do this.
However you do it just get that mile in.
check in on social media with #augustmileaday
follow me for the challenge:
Who is in?
Check in on last week:
Monday: Swim 800m after work Completed
Tuesday: AM strength with trainer, Spin for 30 min after work Completed
Wednesday: Run 3 miles before work w/ Artemis This changed to a speed work after a showing at night but completed
Thursday: AM strength with trainer, Spin for 30 min after work Completed
Friday: Run 3 miles before work w/ Artemis, Swim 850m after work Did not happen, i got frusted with life and just relaxed on the couch
Saturday: 8am Spin class, Swim 850 m Also did not happen. I was bad and stayed up waaay too late friday night so an 8am spin class was not happening and of course once you skip one workout its just soooo easy to keep skipping

The last two days have been on the warmer side. Yesterday I listened to a book on tape in my car on my lunch and soaked up the sun
Gotta soak up the vitamin D when you can here in the northwest
Got up this morning and dragged myself to spin class
It was a killer class.
Then I met a co-worker at the farmers market and walked away with a decent haul
Snap peas, strawberries, romaine lettuce, garlic cheese and some croissants for sandwiches
I had to taste test everything right?
Then my date picked me up and we went to the zoo!
You are actually pretty close to some of these animals with not much of a barrier, its pretty trippy. I will say I would totally support the animals eating some of the people that were there today. Natural selection, its like people don’t remember that these are real live mostly wild animals.
After that we went to the movies and stuck with the theme and saw the jungle book. It was actually really cute.
Now it is time to pass out. I have no alarms set!!!!! I get to sleep in for the first time in at least 7 weeks!!! I do want to be out the door by about 10am though,11 miles tomorrow!!!! I’m pretty excited!!!!
