1) My goal was 4 CF workouts and 5 miles, and I did just that. There was a lot of cake last week for some reason (ie, my MIL baked us a cake and I can't ignore it).

2) Get to crossfit 4 time, and run 7 miles.

3) Less cake. More water.

4) I'm just proud to have gotten back into the groove and grind of going to the gym after not going for like 3 weeks.

Bonus - I don't do any shakes or supplements. I avoided them during pregnancy and nursing. Now I'm kind of interested in looking into recovery shakes, but am not interested in doing the research for myself

1) How did last week go?
Last week went pretty well. I'm trying to adjust to not being on vacation. Hopefully this week is better.

2) What are your exercise goals for this week? I'm going to make myself run outside tonight because we're having a "cold front." Which means It'll be 90 at 6pm instead of 100.

3) What are your nutrition goals for the week? I'm going to try to stay on my nutritionists plan and see if I loose weight...I've been on a plateau the last couple weeks.

4) Any non-scale victories? I had a really good 3000 yard swim workout on monday. Some of it was drills with paddles but 2500 of it was all me.



Bonus - do you drink pre-workout drinks or recovery shakes? What kind and why (or why not)?

my old nutritionist had me drinking Dymatize ISO 100 mixed with 10 oz of coconut water. My current nutritionist has me doding half coconut water, half regular water after super hard workouts (plus a scoop of the Dymatize ISO 100).
If I'm super dehydrated, which does happen to me after long bike rides in this weather, I will drink some coconut water straight.

1. last week went okay other than it was really hot for our area so outside time was really limited to only pool time. I did great sticking to low carbs!

2. Weather is cooling off by late week so I want to get in a walk, couple water walks, and maybe a zoo trip.


3. Stick with my low carbs. It so much harder over the weekend when DH is around and he only wants to eat carbs (lasagna, spaghetti, mac & cheese, quesadillas).


4. My neighbor asked me if I was on a diet as I looked a lot thinner than the last time she saw me

1. I didn't hit my goal of 6 workouts but I got 4 in which satisfies me. Eating was better than I thought since I am down 2 lbs! My goal is so close I can hardly believe it!
2. 3 crossfit, 2 piyo, 1 run. I need some extra piyo. My back has been bothering me and I really don't want to go have to go back to get another shot.
3. Stick to my macros all week so I can enjoy our class reunion (pizza & wing bar!!!!!) and our anniversary on Sunday that we'll be celebrating at our state fair Monday. Suddenly my goal feels really far away lol
4. I've been doing Crossfit for 8 months. That's the longest I've ever done anything exercise related.
Bonus. For a pre-workout I drink Optimum Nutrition Essential Amino Energy and after most CF workouts or runs I will drink Dymatize ISO 100. Or if I'm needing more protein. I do about half 1% milk and half water. DH does all water and likes it. I only drink the milk because I typically can most days. We have the chocolate peanut butter and it is so good. I think after my first drink I said out loud, by myself, "OMG that tastes just like a reese"

1) How did last week go? It went ok. I did 6 of 6 workouts, but I ate way too much junk food.

2) What are your exercise goals for this week? Is it bad that I don't have any goals this week? I'm so happy to be done with 80 DO that I didn't figure out my next steps yet. I'll definitely go to P90X on Saturday. Next week is vacation where I'll probably be walking a lot.

3) What are your nutrition goals for the week? Try not to eat so many bad things! I've started using MyFitnessPal again to get back to reasonable portion sizes.

4) Any non-scale victories? I finished 80 Day Obsession!



Bonus - do you drink pre-workout drinks or recovery shakes? What kind and why (or why not)? While I was doing 80 DO, I was drinking Shakeology in the morning before workouts. Now I just use Shakeology as my breakfast to get going in the mornings.

1) How did last week go? I got 2 short runs and 2 Long runs in while on vacation. I’m pretty happy with that!

2) What are your exercise goals for this week?
Monday: 3
Tuesday: 3
Wednesday: Lift
Thursday: 7, that’s going to be tough to schedule. Hoping it doesn’t rain
Sometime between Friday-Sunday I have a 9 miler but I have no idea when I’ll squeeze it in. H is working all weekend and we have plans Saturday evening.

3) What are your nutrition goals for the week?
RP Base week 1! Try not to blow it!

4) Any non-scale victories?
Marathon training seems to be going well. I haven’t missed a single run, just a lifting session so far in 4 weeks. Nothing hurts. I’m signing up for a massage package and getting my first one tonight!


Bonus - do you drink pre-workout drinks or recovery shakes? What kind and why (or why not)?
Yes-before workouts I don’t have protein shakes but take workout carbs. Renaissance Periodization gives a lot of options for these but I stick with Gatorade or Gatorade chews because they are easy to calculate and very portable.
During/after, I drink whey protein in water. whichever is cheapest. Usually from Walmart of Aldi.
At night I drink casein protein.
