Monday workout thread.

edited June 2014 in Parenting
Another week is here. Just finished a pretty decent leg/glute workout, sitting here trying to catch my breath and stop sweating before I jump in the shower for work. This is my last week before summer break. I made an appointment last night, I am going to start working with a trainer on Tuesdays and Thursdays until September. I am really looking forward to it. I need the motivation right now. I have hit that plateau where I lost a decent amount of weight so clothes are fitting better and I'm in a smaller size, but I am running out of steam and need to switch things up. I am still not in my happy place. Hopefully having someone monitoring my food log will get me back on track, or keep me on track for the summer.

    Last week was great. I worked out 6 out of 7 days, would've been 7 but I thought the rest day was important. I even woke up early on Friday to do yoga. It's not supposed to get too hot today, so I'm running tonight. Had a few beers yesterday, me thinks I've gotta give up the brewskis for awhile because I feel very blah with all those extra calories I consumed. Still, stayed on track for the most part. I'm thinking I may try training for a half marathon again. Just gotta stay uninjured. Damn getting old!
    That's my problem, too. I like beer in the summer.

    It's going to rain here the next couple of days so I think I'll work on my core stuff.

    I did week 2 day 2 of C25k but I'm going to have to do it again because I stopped short with the last 2 running sessions. I'm just going to keep repeating until I make it through.
    This is what I've been doing. I'm stuck at w3d1 right now. My second attempt went way better than the first, so I'm pretty confident I'll make it through tonight.

    I feel like I'm only cheating myself if I just move on. But,I think I do okay for being a smoker. That's my next goal:)
    I agree, it makes no sense to keep going as the run intervals will only get longer. I never would have been able to do C25K when I was smoking. Good luck with quitting!

    I didn't get ready in time for body pump this morning but there's an afternoon class so I think I'll go this afternoon. I'm feeling kind of lost and unmotivated because of some unrelated stuff going on but I'm going to keep pushing.

    My BMB is starting round two of a biggest loser challenge today. I actually won the first round but couldn't get my video to post. I told them to move on to the next person but now I'm kicking myself for that because I lost out on a decent prize :(

    There’s a lightning in your eyes I can't deny
    Then there’s me inside a sinking boat running out of time
    Without you I'll never make it out alive
    But I know, yes, I know we’ll be alright

    Oh this should probably go in fffc, hmmm I'll actually repost this, but I got on the scale on Monday...saw the number...and flicked it off. I probably need to take a break from weighing myself.
    I scream at my scale on the regular. I also weigh myself every single time I go into my bathroom. Sometimes on two different scales (one digital one analog).

    I actually really love my scale(s). I like to see the fluctuation throughout the day. I'm sure the fact that the numbers have been dropping pretty steadily has something to do with this. We'll see how I feel once I hit a plateau.

    I decided I am going to go for a run on my lunch break again! I'm also one of those people who weighs themselves every time I go to the bathroom! Drives my husband insane!!

    I ran yesterday and will run again tonight. I'm on week 3 of couch to 5 k. I have lost 2 pounds in less than a week since I cut out nursing last Wednesday.

    All I did yesterday was walk a mile on my lunch break. I've been in a rut lately. I really need to get my motivation back. I signed up for a half marathon in October. I would really like to beat my time from 2 years ago which means I should start training.

    Every week I keep saying ok this is the week I will eat well and work out everyday, and then I don't. Reading this thread is starting to help tho. You ladies are awesome.

    My butt and inner thighs are pretty sore from my workout yesterday.  I really pushed myself with the weight, and I guess it paid off.  Did upper body this morning, DS woke up 15 minutes into my workout so I let him watch cartoons on my phone and suck on his pacifier in his crib (his version of heaven) and finished up.
