I did it.. and I taught class on Thursday evening.. it felt SOOO GOOD when my students came in and saw me and said thank god you are back!!! It just made me so happy and the desire to get back teaching on my regular schedule!!!
I achieved my goals last week.. this week pretty much the same.. 1 day with trainer (yesterday actually), teach 1 class (tues), body sculpt (wed) and 1 day of cardio (Thurs).
I failed to make my goal this week. My hip has been bugging me since the 10k, so I took it pretty easy this week and only ran 75 kilometers.
This week I need to get the hip better and hopefully get my training back on track; I’ve got a speed session scheduled for this weekend that I want to do.
I did accomplish my goal to do 50 reps on the Ab Coaster every day I went to the gym. A few days I did 70 reps instead. I love that thing.
This week, goal is to make it to the gym 5 times and do at least 50 reps on Ab Coaster each time.
This is my first time here. My goal for this week is to take advantage of being in Fitness Boot Camp by not loafing on the non-boot camp days and keeping food under control.
Goals: Go to Boot Camp M/W/F. Run 3+ miles T/Th. Stay on food plan.
Wish me luck : )
I am enjoying the reading…I like your site.
i ran 3.6 on wed and 3.6 on thursday, i did 2.1 on monday and 5 on saturday. i was supposed to do a total of 15 miles for the week, i was happy with what i did b/c i was on vacation. plus i ran a more hilly location than the norm and still felt good.
feet are starting to hurt and i made a doc appt for monday. do not want to get injured.
this week, i need to do 4wed, 3thur and 6sat (my longest run yet)
Ok, can I just say there’s something intimidating about someone saying “I failed to make my goal this week. My hip has been bugging me since the 10k, so I took it pretty easy this week and only ran 75 kilometers.”? Seriously. Cannot even hope to measure up
That being said, I did log my food all week. I did drink my water all week, and I did lose 3.8 pounds this week.
I am content.
I did get in my 3 days of activity, but only 1 day of Pilates & did not do so hot with the water.
This week-I’m going to set my aim a little lower, since school (my job) has started back up again & I’m trying to get readjusted to my ‘normal’ routine. I am going to try to fit in 2 days of Pilates & 1 day of 20-30 mins of activity.
I’m loving it! Everyone is trucking along at their own pace. Conquering those challenges and achieving the goals.
BK, what a wonderful testament to being an important part of other’s fitness goals.
Blaine, Way to listen to your body and make the adjustments as necessary. Sometimes it’s not the distance that counts.
Angie, Isn’t it so much fun to find a machine you enjoy?!
Welcome to Goal Call Monday Shana! That Fitness Boot Camp sounds great. Have a blast.
Thanks Mark.
Feener, Hard core on vacation. Way to go.
Lynn, no intimidation here, but I definitely know what ya mean! Way to stay focused and what a great week. Keep up the good work.
Anita, Readjustments to routine are a bear. Take your time and you’ll be on track before you know it.
I’m always last, but I’m still here!
I actually did great last week! Not only did I get off the mini-plateau, I hit the 10-pound mark
This week, my goal is to earn 24 activity points. I think it’ll be close, but I also think I can do it!
Is it time to share how we did? I hit all my marks!
Mon – boot camp and a bike ride
Tues – ran three miles
Wed – boot camp
Thur – ran 5k, my best time to date!
Friday – boot camp
Saturday – five mile bike ride
I’m tired, but in a good way : )
