Sorry I'm late again. And for some reason, I'm having trouble posting, so I did a copy/paste and couldn't update the bonus question. Oh well.

1) Last week was good for exercise and eating. I joined a facebook challenge, so it's helping me focus on limiting sweets and getting enough water.
2) Looking to get in 5 crossfit WODs and some stretching where I can fit in it.
3) Less carbs, more protein
4) Can't think of any NSVs but I do have a rant. I had a wellness screening at work yesterday. My BMI is 25. So, according to the WHO, I'm overweight. Now, I could certainly stand to lose a few pounds, but I hate that BMI is used as a standard of wellness, since it doesn't consider composition / fat vs muscle. So, I'm missing out on a $50 giftcard because I didn't meet the goal. Gr.

1. I think I got all but 1 PiYo in but I honestly can't remember if I even did 1 PiYo workout or not. The goal was 2. Instead of running and burpees I did running and some high pulls with the kettle bell to give my elbows a break. Food was good enough to lose another pound despite my carb filled Saturday!
2. My left arm hurt so bad on Saturday I almost puked. I now have tennis elbow in both arms. BOTH! The right one was getting better through extra strength work at crossfit, but apparently the extra 55 burpees in my living room 2 weeks in a row was a bit too much for my left one to handle on top of burpees at CF and holding a 20lb baby for most of her waking hours. Plus our living room has been known to give me trouble in the past. I got a stress fracture doing T25 in there 3 years ago. So, until we can afford new carpet/pad, I am banned from working out in the living room per DH. I'm taking the week off from CF and piyo since weight bearing exercises seem to be the culprit. I'm prioritizing sleep this week and focusing on doing some rehab exercises I found on pinterest. Also going to run on the treadmill and I found some workouts I can do along with that. F injuries, man.
3. Keep up the 21 day fix'ing. It's working! Even with the extra carb and cheese containers lol.
4. People are starting to notice me slimming down. The cleaning lady mentioned it Monday and then one of our company reps said something Tuesday. I haven't seen him since November.

All bets were off as we were in the Caymans. I’m up five pounds despite some pretty intense snorkeling and walking around 5 miles a day. Planning to return to boxing Friday if my “landsickness” passes. I’m way more motion sick now than I was on the water and I have very poor balance.

Short term - get into a routine of three days a week boxing (I mentally balked at that...)

Long term - learn portion control when I’m off the reservation.

I'm joining back in!

Short term- meal plan and stick to it and start some kind of beginner exercise challenge

Long term- find out what exercise I can do that I really enjoy so I will stick with it.

judyblume14, BMI is a crock of shit. One of my doctors told me not to pay attention to it because it does not account for muscle vs. fat.

1. How did last week go? I got 2 workouts in plus a weekday lunch time walk in at work.
2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type? 2 workouts - 1 BodyPump and 1 P90X
3. What are your food goals for the week? Try to keep counting calories
4. Any non-scale victories? I loved getting out for a lunch time walk at work. If the weather ever turns to spring here, I might make it a regular thing.

polecat8, I know! I agree. But that still doesn't get me my damn $50 gift card!!!

1. How did last week go? I got in 22.2 miles and 2 strength workouts. I did a 10k as one of the runs but didn’t PR, it was way too hot! My legs are pretty sore still.

2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type?
Monday: 6.2 miles at night
Tues: Planned to do strength after work but quit midway through and played on my phone in the ladies room instead. Then did the steam room and sauna
Wed: Turned off my alarm and did not do the 5 miles I had planned.
Thurs: 6 miles w a friend at night.
Friday: Taking a personal day and aiming for 12.
Sat: Rest
Sunday: Strength

3. What are your food goals for the week?
Eat somewhat RP plan.

4. Any non-scale victories? Not really, I just want to keep my 20 mile/week streak going. I’ve done it since December so I won’t let it go under that.

1. How did last week go? I did 5 out of the 6 planned workouts. Diet was on point during the week and off the reservation on the weekend. Even so the scale has started to trend down.

2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type?

3 x BBG week 4 (already completed since I’m posting this on Thursday)
3 x Running - 1 done so far. I have a horrible cough so running has been pretty challenging this week.

3. What are your food goals for the week? Stay within my calorie counts all week since I’m going to a Fiesta event on Friday and will probably consume a million calories.

4. Any non-scale victories? Not this week

Bonus -Name one short-term and one long-term healthy living goal you currently have.

Short term - get to where running 6 miles is comfortable. I can do it right now but it’s tough.

Long term - slim down to bikini shape in time for my 10 year anniversary trip in August.
