Ka-Booooom! In almost 5 years with @fitbit I’ve never had a full week of 10K+ days! Yes I went back through my logs to verify that. I’ve had 7-8 days in a row of 10K+ before, but never including a whole Mon-Sun week!
In fact I’m sitting at 8 days in a row and I know I’m going to get 10K+ tomorrow too. I was too excited to not share it! ??♀️?
Taking advantage of my lunch hour fully. Ate at my desk with the door closed now 35 min on the treadmill at the work gym since it’s still a bit steamy out.
3rd Body Pump class of the week! Feels good to getting back into a routine as my peak work season begins to calm down ?
Had a walking date with my friend M this morning around a beautiful nearby lake. I NEEDED this walk. My physical activity has been demolished due to my work schedule. I love finding opportunities to mix being social with working out. Love catch up time with M for 1.5 hours and we also hit our step goal in the process!
This quote applies to so many aspects of my life…
I still can’t believe I’m becoming the kind of person who leaves a party at 10:30pm on Saturday night so I can go home and make sure I get 8+ hours of sleep and still wake up for my 9am Body Pump class. Curbing my sleeping until the afternoon tenancies has been a major shift in my life. I still love sleep, but I try to go to bed earlier to make sure I can go to the fitness classes I like.
Also can we talk about how I was feeling sexy AF in this sports bra/tank combo. My shoulders and back are quickly become new favorite body parts!
Despite the gross rainy weather I put on a sports bra (such a struggle after being bra-less all day amiright ladies), gym clothes and drove myself to the gym for a dreadmill 5K jog.
I was really hoping to walk with Fred outside, but I made my goal happen regardless and I’m pleased that I did. I’ve never regretted a workout!
We’ll been in our house 2 years in August and I finally hung my race medals up. I was dealing with a heel injury when we moved here and I wasn’t feeling much like a runner so I didn’t have the motivation to put them up.
Back in 2010 running was my gateway into weight loss and fitness. However repeated heel and foot issues made me realize running is not worth jeopardizing my future physical health and abilities.
I wasn’t sure how to lose/maintain weight loss without running for a long while.
I think I finally properly mourned the end of my major running days with this go-round renewed fitness and weight loss effort. I’m ready to celebrate my previous accomplishments including 3 full marathons!
Friday: Got a great 45 minute lunchtime walk in with my friend J at work. Then after work spent 3 hours with T building our new “dual fuel” (gas and charcoal) grill.
Saturday: back to back Body Combat & Body Pump class followed by lots of salad making/prepping for grilling. We did chicken, hot dogs, grilled veggies, grilled pineapple, as well as cucumber salad and grilled corn salad – which was AMAZING (https://www.skinnytaste.com/grilled-corn-salad-with-feta/)
Sunday: Woke my ass up for a 9AM Combat class then packed up the car to head to Baltimore for the night. Sadly the rain decided to ruin our Fort McHenry visit plans as well as grilling out at our friend S’s place, but we took the cook out inside and a yummy time was still had! S is on weight watchers too so it was great to have a mindful buddy.
Monday: Had a yummy breakfast cooked at S’s and then we headed all headed out to Camden Yards to see the Nats take on the Os. The Nats actually WON, which never happens when T and I go to see them, must have been the away game factor.
Sunday and Monday I was over my dailies for points, but within my weeklies. Plus all the working out. I’m proud of myself for not just saying fuck it, I was mindful and didn’t overdo it.
Today all of my head student staff is back full time and our summer intern from Syracuse is here on her first day with us! Taking the team out for lunch to kick off the summer.
BALANCE: Back to back Body Combat and Body Pump followed by a trip to Total Wine!
