1. It went fine. I met my workout goals but my food could use improvement.
2. 3 CF, 1 piyo, 1 or 2 runs
3. I'm going back to the check mark system we used during our challenge at the gym. We got one for eating well and one for working out. For eating, we got one if we had a cheats if we kept our number of cheats at 2 for the week. Just living life by check Mark's over here like a toddler
4. I ran 2.85 miles last Wednesday and didn't feel too bad after!
Bonus. A new-ish good friend of mine got me started in crossfit and then I roped DH into drinking the kool-aid. Sometimes I like working out with the group, sometimes with DH and sometimes by myself. Our gym isn't very big so I get kind of overwhelmed and self conscious when there's a ton of people there. But I also get that way of I'm by myself and am not 100% sure what I'm doing. Thank God for YouTube lol

1) How did last week go?
I did all my workouts but ate junk a couple of days.

2) What are your exercise goals for this week?
Monday: 3 miles during fencing practice
Tuesday: 3 miles before leaving for Massachusetts
Wednesday or Thursday: 5 miles while we are there/Rest
Friday: we will be back home, lift at some point
Saturday: rest (leaving for Virginia
Sunday: 7 mile long run while at the campground

3) What are your nutrition goals for the week?
Eat somewhat healthy despite all the vacationing. We are in the car now and I brought hard boiled eggs, precut veggies and premade salads

4) Any non-scale victories?
My running rut is completely over. I can run again!! Without stopping.

Bonus - do you have a workout buddy / train with a team / spouse / prefer flying solo?
I started running with a group in November. I clicked with a 55 year-old woman who has my exact pace. We have great conversation and pick up where we left off each time, even if weeks go by. She is reliable and so am I. She is never late and is always ready to run at the set time. If she isn’t there I run with any of the other group members. Most of my runs are solo, but I enjoy the podcast time.

1. Last week was pretty good. I didn't go crazy with snacks on vacation, though I did drink a little more than my body is accustomed to. I wanted to run 12 miles, but only did 10.5. I also did about 2 hours of stand-up-paddleboard in super windy conditions.

2. Exercise goal - run 12 miles.

3. Same as Campermom - eat somewhat healthy despite being on vacation,

4. Non-scale victories - over the past 2 weeks, I have done a few 3-mile runs, like they were no big deal. They were v v slow, but I didn't feel like I was dying.

Bonus - When I go to the gym, I work out with a class, usually around 10 people. I like it. It's a little bit of push, encouragement and friendly competition that I wouldn't get exercising alone. When I run, I usually just listen to podcasts while running alone. Sometimes, I push one of the girls in the stroller. And last week, I got my little nieces (9 and 11) to run with me (they are just my speed when I'm pushing the stroller!)

judyblume14, 2 hours of SUPing in wind is more work than 2 miles of running.

1. Okay, I had more cheats on my diet than I should have and blew it on Saturday thanks to DH and it made me very sick so moral is I need to stick with it.

2. Water walk in the pool 3 days (Tu/Th/Fr)

3. Stick with low carbs and not let DH screw it up by wanting to go out all the damn time

4. NA
Bonus: DD is usually with me and does stuff too.

Yoga-it is open age group but the rec center won't let me sign DD up and she can't sit in while I take the class as she would be distracting to the other participants. I asked the age rang and they told me 50-60 is most of the people so the class won't be happening.

I've reached the point in the week where I weigh myself to track progress since I only take Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday into consideration. The scale went down .2 lbs so maybe my food hasn't been THAT bad. It makes my goal seem reachable since my deadline is 8/21 and I have 4.5 lbs left. My deadline is actually the 17th because I have a bachelorette weekend before the 21st so I'd like to not have that hanging over my head.

1) How did last week go? Good, but I was injured. I did all my workouts but come sunday my hamstring was bothering me so much that I missed my Tuesday Tempo runs, my strength workouts have been all arms, and although I did my 40 mile bike on Saturday, I missed my long run on Sunday.

2) What are your exercise goals for this week? Get all my workouts in before next week!

3) What are your nutrition goals for the week? Keep on eating well. I'm down another pound so that is good.

4) Any non-scale victories
I keep getting faster on my 40 mile bike riding on the bike path. Last week two different guys told me how fast I was (which is so funny b/c I'm still slower than everyone I train with, but it's nice to hear anyway).

Bonus - do you have a workout buddy / train with a team / spouse / prefer flying solo?
I have a triathlon coach as part of a triathlon team, but I only consistently workout with others 3 times per week max at this point. 2 group runs and then my bike rides have been with 1 other person just b/c I'm slower than everyone else in the group and would get dropped. And actually even lately my bike partner has been racing so I've been riding solo.
Today my group run is going to be solo on the treadmill b/c the heat index is going to be 105 during the time when we normally run so the group run is canceled.

I ran 4 miles this morning without stopping to walk. I have literally never done that before in my life.
