Wednesday Workout

PeanutButterFox · June 2014

Good morning! How's everyone doing this week? Has anyone tried a new workout or recipe they want to share?

I mentioned in the randoms thread yesterday that I was in a slump, but I'm attempting to turn it around today. I woke up and did a 40 minute Fitsugar full body workout and I'm going to the gym at lunch to do 30 minutes on the treadmill. Eating has been okay this week, but could be better. I'm holding steady at 27 lbs lost. One more pound will put me below 200 for the first time in over 3 years so that's what I'm working for right now.

Oh I used to love Taebo! It's so much fun. I should see if my mom still has my old VHS tapes.

PeanutButterFox · June 2014

Good luck on your 5K @thisisbrea. I'm thinking about signing up for the Shape Magazine Diva Run in August. But DC in August is hot as balls with oppressive humidity so idk if I really want to do that to myself.

PeanutButterFox · June 2014

@spencers1337 & @kdc2007 I know it's hard, but try not to feel defeated by the scale. You both said you've lost inches, that's fucking awesome! Your hard work is paying off. Keep at it and everything will fall in place.

@gotgingy Way to go on C25K, you're half way through!

I slacked a bit on the working out the past week/week and a half. I am trying to get back into that groove of *wanting* to do it, but I think I'm a little depressed which is holding my motivation hostage.

I don't seem to have gained any weight, though, and I am still eating a little better (swapped my cheddar bunnies for salads in the afternoons which seems to have helped a lot).

My DD and I completed our first 5k race in a few years on Sunday. She did amazing, and even encouraged me to keep running, even when I wanted to puke. Monday I did total body circuit, Tuesday I ran again, and tonight iam doing total body circuit again. My work outs will be a little more tricky the next couple of days because we have alot going on.

jorkz821 · June 2014

I'm also on my last day of C25K! I signed up for a 5k race on Saturday (first ever!) so we'll see how it goes.

@PeanutButterFox‌ you're doing great! Almost 30lb, wow!

thebanich · June 2014

I've been doing pretty well lately. Not great though. 5k (walking) on Friday and then the fitness challenge workouts Mon, Tues. I'm afraid I'm going to end up with huge manly arms from some of this stuff.

PeanutButterFox · June 2014

@lildevil968 I run with my daughter too! She keeps me going.

Thanks @jorkz821 good luck with your race!

Um, wow. You guys are amazing! I was just coming to brag about attending a yoga class 2x this week, and look at ya'll go.

That's still great! Two classes is better than none.

PeanutButterFox · June 2014

I am very chipper when I start the day with a workout. In case y'all couldn't tell LOL.

Mei&Mei · June 2014

Haha. Never would have guessed. ^

Yes, my goal is yoga 3x, plus tennis with MH on Fridays for an hour and a half. I really need to be more fit. Maybe you guys can provide some encouragement!

ssmb_clarinet · June 2014

Did a 30 minute walk and 30 minutes of zumba yesterday. This morning did another walk with DD and have open water swim practice later this evening. My next triathlon is July 12th! Gotta get training again!

PeanutButterFox · June 2014

I forgot the gym I was going to had an indoor track! So I did that instead of the treadmill and did week 2 day 1 of C25K. I thought I was going to die because I hadn't run since last Thursday, but I actually did okay. I struggled a bit the last two running intervals, but I finished! And now I smell all fresh and clean from my midday shower. $:\$ ">

I always have to tell myself, "__ minutes is better than no minutes" when I get interrupted or plain give up before finishing a yoga class. I try to do *some* each day - minimum of 20 minutes, but that doesn't always happen.

BluepointToasted · June 2014

I've had three great workouts this week so far. It always seems that the mornings I wake up dragging ass and don't want to work out (like today) I end up pushing myself the hardest. Eating has been good. Needing some new snacks for the afternoon. @peanutbutterfox, I have a healthy recipes board on my Pinterest if you are looking for some good recipes. I have made a lot of them

PeanutButterFox · June 2014

@bluepointtoasted thanks I just followed your board!

FalconCrest · June 2014

I did an hour of boot camp on Saturday and I am going running with a friend tomorrow evening. This Saturday a few of my girlfriends and I are going to try that trampoline fitness class. I am down 8lbs so far. Only about 50 more to go!

SandyClam · June 2014

I have been really good about working out but really shitty about what I'm eating. I've been trying really hard to concentrate on being strong and healthy rather than losing weight but it's been difficult. I did finally throw away my scale which was a big step but I'm having trouble not restricting and then binging. Sigh.

MamatoA2010 · June 2014

I'm down 11 lbs since March with another 39 to go. This morning I walked 3.3 miles at a brisk pace. Yesterday I did 3.85 miles. Just wasn't feelin' it this morning and couldn't quite go the entire hour but not bad for out of shape and overweight me

FrickandFrack · June 2014

I haven't been able to get to the gym this week because work is swamped but I have been running with my neighbor doing the Couch to 5K. We just moved up to week 2.

BluepointToasted · June 2014

@PrivacyWanted‌ , I'll pm you my name on Pinterest.

LnR70707 · June 2014

Started block 2 of p90x3 yesterday. I bought the pull-up bar last week when beachbody had a sale (was using bands before). I am pretty sure I won't be able to lift my kids tomorrow.

@PeanutButterFox‌ the diva dash looks fun! What if we did a DC TB meetup...? I ran 2.7 miles after a work meeting. It was nice to end the day that way.

That's a great idea!

PeanutButterFox · June 2014

I've had bad knees since I was a kid, though the extra weight does exacerbate the issue. I haven't noticed much difference yet, but I do still have quite a bit left to lose. I also just got new shoes and I did notice a difference there while running yesterday.

TheRunningGinger · June 2014

I'm a day late but can I join? First of all, you ladies are all awesome! I enjoy reading what everyone else is doing. High fives to everyone. Several people mentioned just finishing races - congrats! And for those that mentioned signing up for one - I hope you do as well as you hope for!

I'm almost 5 months post baby and really trying to get back into working out on a regular basis and eating decent. Not getting a decent amount of sleep is really putting a damper on this though.

This week I ran two miles on Monday and that's about it. I'm signed up to run a half marathon in October so I'm really hoping I can pick back up on the running and gym thing soon!

atxfoodie · June 2014

Thanks to everyone for the advice last week on the cramps - getting more water the night before has totally helped!

I finally finished week 6 of C25k. Tonight, I'm doing my first 5k. I know I won't be able to run the whole thing but I'm hoping it'll be fun. It's supposed to be 99 here today but there's a margarita at the finish line so that should keep me moving

Eating hasn't been great. A couple months ago I was able to almost totally cut out desserts (usually I'd have sweets several times/day), but I'm back to eating a ton of sugar again and it definitely doesn't make me feel great. I keep saying, once I finish this thing of Oreos, I'm not buying anymore sugar stuff for the house. And then I buy Nutella...

BluepointToasted · June 2014

You might surprise yourself @atxfoodie. The race atmosphere totally keeps you going beyond what you normally can do. Just keep a nice, slow, steady pace and repeat "just keep running" over and over in your head.

But 99 degree weather? F that. The worst I ever did was on a humid 90 degree day and I thought I was going to die. Hopefully it cools down a bit before you start. Good luck!
