1. Last week went well. Friday my back was killing me and I was exhausted so instead of a "workout" I did about 30 min of stretching. The next day I was feeling a lot better so I think that was the correct call.

2. This week is going to be a challenge. I leave for my road trip tomorrow and I need to make sure that I keep up with my routine. My APFT is coming up in November so I have structured my workouts to prepare for that now. I basically do a PT test every other day.

3. Eat healthy for breakfast and lunch. Have fun at dinner. I will be on vacation!!!

4. I hit 22 days in a row of working out. 8 more to go!

5. Outside of the 30 days in a row I think my next goal is to actually register for a 5K and complete it without walking. After that my oldest SS graduates in 2020. I want to take him to MI and run the 10 mile race through Hell, MI to get another shirt.

1. Last week was good. I got in one less workout than I would have liked, but got in an extra lunchtime walk. And food was reasonable.

2. Going for 4 workouts total. And some walks, too.

3. I want to stay on top of tracking my food during the week. It really does help me to be mindful of what I'm stuffing in my face.


4. I posted this in last weeks thread but... five handstand pushups!


Bonus: I have a goal weight, which is about 8-10 pounds away depending on the day. Aside from dropping baby weight (which was easy for me because I didn't gain too much), I've never really had weight loss goals before. So, it should be interesting.

judyblume14, I overlooked that news about the handstand pushups last week, that's amazing!!

1. Last week was good. I was sick one day and took the day off. Then sunday I rode my bike inside instead of on the road, which was a good decision b/c I was able to do 12 miles at a 10 minute mile with several miles in the middle being a 9:30 or better.

2. Looking forward to running 14 miles on Sunday. Also making it a goal to swim laps on Friday.

3. Goal for this week is to follow my meal plan. Which is off to a rocky start b/c i left everything including my lunch at home on my way out the door but....I can turn this around!

Bonus: Really I need to loose 10 pounds. And I won't be able to do that without changing my eating habits.

The next purely fitness goal is to train for a half marathon and try to beat my last finish time of 2:17. Should be doable.

1. Not good between migraine, needy kid, and tax seminar nothing happened. I did get some walking in as we walked laps through the casino during lunch break to try and get warm.

2. Get back to my beginner workout program

3. Stick to my meal plan

4. NA
Bonus: I would really like to be able to do the beginner workout and not feel like crap afterwards but feel good. I think I just need to do it more so my body doesn't scream at my WTF!

1. How did last week go? Pretty good. I was able to get to the gym twice. I also increased the weights I've been using during class. I'm sore, but it is a good soreness.

2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type? I'm hoping to get two workouts in this week.


3. What are your food goals for the week? Start to decrease the sweets after dinner. I always want something sweet after dinner and lately that has been way too much ice cream.


4. Any non-scale victories? More of my pre-preggo pants fit now even though the scale didn't budge. I guess I'm building some much needed muscle.


Bonus: What is the next milestone in your fitness journey? I have about 15 pounds to lose. I need some sort of physical challenge to get me moving. I'm kind of leaning towards a half-marathon, but I'm not sure if I can commit to that level of training right now. Maybe a 10k?

1. How did last week go? I need to join in these check-ins! This last month has been rough, with adjusting to new school and work schedules. My twice-weekly Pilates workouts have taken a hit. I think I only went once in September.


2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type? Well, I've been sick the last few days (102 fever yesterday! Woo!) so I don't want to push too hard and set myself back further. I'm picking up our new cargo bike with e-assist on Wednesday, and the intent is that it's our new commute to school and work bike. So my goal is to get our gear organized enough that everything goes smoothly and on time. My guess is that when DS goes to his Dad's on Friday I will probably want to do some hard core resting.


3. What are your food goals for the week? My blood tests came back with low vitamin D levels, so my Dr. said take 4,000 ius/day for a month then drop to 2,000/day. So I have to remember that. And in general, just more vegetables. And lots of soup.


4. Any non-scale victories? This week surviving feels like enough.


Bonus: What is the next milestone in your fitness journey? I need to take a good look at my new schedule and figure out where the Pilates fits in. Because something about my current schedule isn't working.

1. How did last week go? Pretty good. I'm in Cut 1 of the Renaissance Periodization plan and I allow myself some cheat time on the weekends so I'm still happy.I'm down 7. My energy level is so ridiculous people at work are noticing. My runs feel great.


2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type?
Cutting this week short a little bc it's our last camping trip of the season. At least 2 runs and 1 day of Lifting. Not sure about adding a long run. I'm due for 9 miles but I may allow myself to pass.


3. What are your food goals for the week? Stick to the plan, have fun on the weekend.


4. Any non-scale victories? I'm on Workout 7 of 8 in Phase One of New Rules of Lifting for Women. I've increased my weights a lot and can't wait to see the last numbers! I feel awesome.


Bonus: What is the next milestone in your fitness journey?
Get my 3rd half marathon of the year over with. It's in 2.5 weeks. I need a break from running. I'm looking forward to focusing more on weights and get back on my elliptical machine in the mornings instead.

1. How did last week go? Last week was average. I missed a workout because my IT band was bothering me but food wise I did pretty well.

2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type? I would like to get in 5 workouts- a combination of running, HIT, and strength training

3. What are your food goals for the week? DH and I are leaving to go out of town for the next five days so my goal is to be mindful of portion size and not overindulge.

4. Any non-scale victories? No

Bonus: What is the next milestone in your fitness journey? I want to run a sub 1:50 half. I’m so close but just haven’t been able to quite get there the last two races
