  What did you do last week? I continued my plan for 4 workouts a week. I did both cardio and weights.
  

  
  

  What are your plans for this week? I want to continue the 4 workouts and I possibly will add in a workout class. I did body combat last week but I want to do a body pump this week.
  

  
  

  What's your long-term/mid-term goal? Get in better shape. Gain muscle and lose fat!
  

  
  

  GTKY: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?  To go out somewhere special? In the morning I take about 15-20 minutes to straighten my hair and then I do my makeup in the car on my drive to work. My husband hates that I do that because I have LO in the car but I have perfected this skill. I  know it is bad and I probably should stop doing that.
  
  To go somewhere special I actually curl my hair and do a little more makeup so maybe 45 minutes to an hour.

  Not following the format because my phone is being lazy! Last week I went swimming and this week I hope to again. My goal is to tone up still.
  
  QOTW: 30 minutes; 45 if I straighten my hair.

  Last week I really only ran, I got in a few weights but defiantly need to get more in. 

  
  

  This week more running and defiantly more weights and ab stuff! I really need to start cutting out some foods too. I have been drinking more then I should and the weather is not helping my mood. So less beer and wine (maybe none at all...)

  
  

  Goal- sub 2 hour half marathon!

  
  

  QOTW- depends on the day, but to get LO ready, myself showered, LO breakfast and eat myself then just over an hour. I was telling an older women who has never had children before about how I shower with LO in his bouncy chair in the bathroom and she was shocked. I guess she had never thought about what getting ready would involve but she really could not get over it.

  Last week: I worked out a few days and ran twice. My hip and back was killing me so I had to take it easy. Diet was OK. I haven't budged weight wise in a while so I need to change something up.
  
  This week: well I started the week off with an AWESOME visit to the chiro who cracked me back into alignment and I walked out of the office sciatica pain free! He is a miracle worker. He also gave me some great positions to nurse in and things to do with my legs while nursing to keep myself in shape. I left the office and went straight into a 6.5 mile run which was slow, but still felt good and my hip held out. Woo hoo! Did the elliptical today and plan on working out and running a few more times this week. DH is traveling so I don't have any backup in getting out on my own so I'm making do. I've also eaten about 7,000 dark chocolate chips and 2 bottles of wine since he left. Solo bedtime with the littles has been rough.
  
  Goal: get in marathon training condition.
  
  Getting ready: I can get ready for work in about 8 minutes if I showered the night before. If we're talking taking my time to shower, shave, blow dry and look nice more like 45 minutes. My wedding makeup only took me 9 minutes and I did it myself so other than blow drying my massive mane of hair I'm pretty quick.

  @musicalsilver I feel as though you give me more credit than I deserve.

  Last week: I know I walked/jogged on Tuesday. Saturday I did a yard work workout (counts for me) and then jogged to the park for lunch. Soccer game on Sunday was more like a scrimmage. I  ended up leaving the field with my back aching. (I think being a mom is getting to me, with the constant baby on my hip.) I ate well until DH went grocery shopping and came back with soda. I guess I forgot to tell him that I'm trying to cut back.

  This week: Ran tonight. I really need to work on getting a healthy night of sleep so I have more energy and walk in the morning when I work from home. I'm trying to start squats and other things more often.

  Goal: Tone up and be ready for half marathon. @tttwalters 2 hour half? I hope I can make it in 3!!

  QOTW: If I only have to nurse LO I can get ready in 20, otherwise I usually need an hour or so. DH has been really helpful lately, so I've been sleeping in a bit longer.  If I am going out with DH it takes me maybe 20-30 minutes still, but for a wedding I need like 1.5 hours.

  I feel like I rambled a lot this week, probably because I am on the laptop and not my phone.

  ;;)

  A day late! Eek! Life has been crazy lately.
  
  Last week: I got in my workouts! MJ is really getting independent. He will just sit and play while I work out. It's awesome! I kept up healthy eating and I have been eating fruit smoothies in lieu of chocolate!
  
  This week, hope to do at least 5 sweat sessions!
  
  Goal is to still tone up! Especially my belly!
  
  Gtky: in the morning it takes me 15 minutes. I shower and dry my hair the night before so that helps. I have a 5 minute makeup routine, straighten the kinks out of my hair that sneak in overnight and throw on clothes. If I'm going somewhere special it takes me 45 minutes with a shower, blowdry, and make up!

  I'm late this week... oops.

  Last week- We had the regular flu still, so nothing really. I got in A singular run. Nothing else.

  This week- The stomach flu. So, another week of absolutely nothing.

  Goal- To start working out again. Lol. That half that I was going to attempt to do and just walk some of.. yah.. it's in a week. I'd be crazy to try and think I could survive when I have done NOTHING in over 2 weeks.

  QOTW- Umm to make myself look just presentable? 30 mins maybe. To actually really make an effort.. closer to 45-60 minutes. Which doesn't happen often cuz ain't nobody got time for that.
