1. Recap of the week

Food: It was “ok”. I had lunches planned and somewhat healthy dinners but we have been to 3 celebrations this weekend.

Workouts:
Last week I went on a hike with 360feet elevation gain, CrossFit twice, regular strength once and one 3.1 mile intervals run. My at-Home PT stuff for my IT band twice.

Miscellaneous:
You guys I started CrossFit 3 weeks ago! It’s different, but I really like it! I still have our other gym membership so this is pricy together, but I’m going to buy a punchcard so I can go 1-2 times a week. Their childcare is extremely limited compared to our regular gym.

Non Scale Victories, Celebrations ( doesn't have to be fitness related)
Mine is scale related. Last year I gained 24 lbs due to medication (I went off). I am down 14 with 10 to go. These 10 have been the hardest but it’s going in the right direction.


2. Plan for the Following Week

Food: lunches are rotisserie chicken, California medley veggies from Aldi, and quinoa.

Workouts:
Monday: off for my dad’s appt so I’m squeezing in a trail run beforehand
Tues: CrossFit in the evening
Wed: run in the am before everyone gets up
Thurs rest/too busy
Fri: maybe gym or CrossFit in the evening
Sat: First 5k of the spring/summer
Sunday: trail run

Bonus: Favorite healthy picnic recipe
My friend made this awesome chunky salsa dip: Chickpeas, tomatoes, red onion, green peppers, jalapeños, avocado, cilantro, corn, and lime juice. It could eat the whole thing as a meal.

I think I pretty much always eat in the somewhat healthy range which helps a lot.

We had 2 deaths in the family and 2 weekend trips home for them or other family emergencies, and I’ve had a bad cold, so exercising has fallen by the wayside. To recoup we spent 2 weekends at home doing nothing but home stuff (2 new desks, 2 new toy storage) and transitioning from school to camp. Hope to start working out this week again.

Recap:
Food: horrible, lots of carbs and junk.
Workouts: I'm averaging 7K steps during the work week and 12-15K on my off days.
Misc: Saw my BFF over the weekend first time in 4 years. We walked the beach and talked. Barefoot beach walking Saturday alone was 10 miles and going back was into 20mph winds. My face is wind blown burnt and my legs are killing me but Sunday we went and did another 5 miles.

2.
Food: starting tonight I'm cooking dinners low carb dinners all week and salads for lunch
Workouts: I need to go out and walk each night just to help workout the cramping muscles. Stick with my steps.
Misc: I'm really thinking about DD and I playing hooky Friday and going back over to the coast for one last meet up before my BFF goes back to CO.

Favorite healthy picnic is either corn salad or just fruit/melon medley salad.

Food - I have been pretty good overall - at the calorie level - but need to get back on point wit macros. I am not consuming enough protein (because...beer instead of protein shakes, hello summer!)

Workouts - back sprain came back full force on the way back from DD’s birthday beach trip. Going to Airrosti today. It really sucks.

Misc - all my smaller clothes still fit and I am not gaining but I am losing tone and it makes me SO sad.

Healthy picnic - fresh cut berries sprinkled with sweetened shredded coconut is always a hit and it’s SO easy. Coleslaw - bag of precut, light cole slaw dressing, add part of a bag of almonds and cranberries. I can eat a whole bag of this coleslaw as a meal with some grilled meat or fish.

1. Recap of the week

Food: Not good, but not awful.
Workouts: Definitely awful. Monday being a holiday really threw me off, and my workout schedule for the week just kind of fell apart.
Miscellaneous: I have a love/hate relationship with early morning workouts. It's the only time of day that I have free to go, but I'm so not a morning person and voluntarily getting out of bed earlier than necessary suuuuuuucks.
Non Scale Victories, Celebrations (doesn't have to be fitness related): Nope. Last week was a total fail.

2. Plan for the Following Week

Food: Trying to work on increasing protein and making better food choices in general.
Workouts: Mon - Legs (done), Tue - Back/Bi, Wed - Chest/Tri, Thu - Cardio/Core, F/S/S - Yoga.
Bonus - Favorite healthy picnic recipe: My only picnic recipe is cake, so I'm not helpful on this one. LOL.

1. Recap of the week

Food: Not too bad. I'm starting to watch my portion size and quantity. I'd really like to lose these last 7 lbs by the end of the summer.

Workouts: My gym closed at the end of May, so we switched to the Y. So far, I have done 2 of the classes and am loving it! We make it a family event so the kids go to childcare at the Y while DH and I workout.


Non Scale Victories, Celebrations (doesn't have to be fitness related): Instead of sleeping in on Sunday, I got myself to the Y for a boot camp and core class. I always feel good after a workout and am glad that I went!




2. Plan for the Following Week

Food: Keep watching portions and quantity. If that doesn't work, I'll have to return to calorie counting with MyFitness Pal

Workouts: I'm hoping to get 3 workouts done this week.

Bonus: Favorite healthy picnic recipe: I love all of the fresh fruits of the summer. Nothing is better than a fruit salad with watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, and grapes! DH also makes a really good blueberry zucchini bread that is low sugar/oil.
