I’ve done nothing. It stressed me out to try to make it this morning and leave for the hospital less than an hour later.

I am the exact weight I was before spring break so at least there is that.

I was not able to work out much this week. I was at the high school track on Sunday and something popped in my calf. I was uncomfortable for most of the week, but finally felt well enough to walk today.

Food was awful. I’m a stress eater and my dad has his knee replaced on Wednesday. I was worried about that and couple it with being on the road a lot, not a lot of time for cooking.

Hoping next week is better.

1. Recap of the week

Miscellaneous:
I need to figure out the knee issue.

Today 6 Trail Miles

CX Works. I used to go twice a week. Now I only go if I’m late to the gym on my gym night, but that is a great 30 min workout.

I am struggling getting more than 3 workouts in a week. If the gym opened early on Saturday I could easily get 4 in, but it doesn't open until 8 and that is prime family time at my house before we go into a kid napping from 9 until 4 through the day. I can get myself to a spin class on Tuesday and Thursdays and I manage to get my butt up and go Monday mornings.


Wednesdays and Fridays are my undoing. I want to try a body pump class on Friday, unfortunately my H is OOT a lot on Fridays. I am thinking of keeping my Wednesday morning as a sleep in slow moving morning since my H drops off kiddos and we have gotten in a fair morning routine now.

1. Recap of the week
Food: Food last week was pretty good. I'm down about half a pound.
Workouts: Workouts last week were good but they didn't feel that good. I missed wednessday because of work travel and missed Friday because of work as well. I hate it when my work day gets in the way of training, and it especially made me a bit panicky because my race is Sunday. Luckily I had a very good workout on Saturday to make up for the missed Friday workouts.
Miscellaneous: 6 days to go...

Non Scale Victories, Celebrations ( doesn't have to be fitness related): Even though I didn't get my workouts done, I did step in and cover for a coworker whose H is very very ill. I'm proud of the way I stepped in and managed things for her.

2. Plan for the Following Week

Food: basically you'll not see a person eating cleaner than me this week. I'm going to be fantastic. Did I mention it's 6 days before my race? LOL
Workouts: It's taper week for me...Jesus take the wheel.

Bonus: Do you like group work outs, things like spin class, zumba, yoga? If so what is your favorite?
I used to religiously go to spin class, a P90x class and yoga. I really enjoyed them all. P90X allowed for more conversation and I even went to happy hours and stuff with those people, so that was nice.

Now with my tri club...I like group swims the most. I find group runs REALLY motivating, and group rides, WHEN I HAVE PEOPLE MY SPEED are MUCH better than solo rides and I perform much better. The trouble is, I'm sort of a medium-beginner cyclist so most people are either too fast for me or too slow.

1 - I started back on my fitness journey last week. I am determined to lose 40 lbs by the time I turn 40 in November.

Food - I am using MFP again, and back to 1200 calories. Basically three days of being really hungry and then I was fine.  My body responds really well to calorie counting and consistent workouts.

Workouts-  I started BBG and I have an elliptical at home that I use for my LIIT and HIIT workouts.  It was brutal the first week and I was soooo sore. But I didn't miss a workout.

Misc - I lost 4.5 lbs that first week! I also cut out pop, which I didn't really try to do, but I was trying to up my water intake and just didn't have time to drink a pop too.  So that felt great!

2 - This week:

Food - I do better with my food when I plan all my meals for the day in MFP, that way I am not left with 16 calories at dinner time or 300 to go at 8 pm.  I use Skinnytaste for a lot of my dinners.

Workouts - BBG week 2!  Got up and did 30 min on my elliptical this morning. I HATE waking up before 6:30, but I did it.  Now to just keep at it....

Bonus - I do love group fitness classes, but I get really self conscience. Like I always feel like I am the fattest, slowest one there. I know it shouldn't discourage me from going, but it totally does.  My favorite class to go to are the barre classes. So hard, but I love the way I feel afterwards!
