1.  What are your fitness and/or nutrition goals this week?  
Cleaner eating - there's been some overindulging in comfort foods and I know I always feel better when I eat healthier.  Also, get in a few hikes - the humidity is finally gone and I can't wait to be outside. 
2.  Any challenges to meeting your goals this past week?  
Boss took us out to lunch that looks like something out of Diners,Drive-ins, and Dives.  I had a Pulled Pork Mac n Cheese Melt... ya... enough said.  
3.  Rants/Raves/Questions:  
The only real rant is an overbearing mother - I went on a jog a few days ago and man did she let me have it.  I don't want to say "old wive's tale" every time she brings up a new thing I can't do but I'm starting to crack!
4.  GTKY: What's your favorite thing to listen to (if anything) while exercising?
My super awesome playlist that I spent quite a bit of time compiling.  Anything from motown, to Beatles, to 80s pop/rock, to modern Alternative...

1.  What are your fitness and/or nutrition goals this week?  
To walk the dog every day and keep going to my Tuesday/ Thursday strength training class
In terms of food, I am trying to get more fruit in now that I'm not so sick. 

2.  Any challenges to meeting your goals this past week?  
None! I'm finally starting to feel a bit better so my Tuesday/ Thursday classes felt really great. I'm crossing every part of my body that this keeps up so I can get back to MWF cardio sessions ASAP. 

3.  Rants/Raves/Questions: I just want to rave again that I felt kind of back to my old self in my classes. I wasn't dizzy and I was able to use the heavier weights. 

4.  GTKY: What's your favorite thing to listen to (if anything) while exercising? Audiobooks, podcasts, and sometimes music.

Aside from the fatigue I think/hope I will be okay

3.  Rants/Raves/Questions:  
None that I can think of

4.  GTKY: What's your favorite thing to listen to (if anything) while exercising?
I have a pretty old mix of alternative rock on my iPod shuffle. It could stand to be updated.

3.  Rants/Raves/Questions:  Nope.

4.  GTKY: What's your favorite thing to listen to (if anything) while exercising? I take a lot of classes - spin, barre and Pilates, so they always play fun music.

1.  What are your fitness and/or nutrition goals this week?  I want to make it to a body pump class at least once this week. I've never tried it, but it looks like I'd like it.

2.  Any challenges to meeting your goals this past week?  I was down and out for about a week with a respiratory illness. 

3.  Rants/Raves/Questions:  I'm just ready to feel a bit better and get back on track with my workouts. 

4.  GTKY: What's your favorite thing to listen to (if anything) while exercising? If i'm lifting weights I want it to be rap or alternative. If i'm doing cardio just something upbeat.
