K, although I had a few issues in the “food department” this week, I did well in the “exercise department!” Woo hoo.
I’m very happy about that. Here’s the 411.
Monday: I decided to switch my beloved Boot Camp class for a different class. It was a tough decision but I realized it had become mainly a cardio class. I get enough cardio from my running, so I want my classes to be mainly “weights” based. I also realized that my FAVORITE Saturday morning weights class was offered at 9:00 AM on Mondays at a Gold’s Gym a little further away. I really really love the instructor. Really. She works us SO HARD. I think it’s like going to TWO classes! It’s amazingly awesome. So, I think it’s worth it.
Tuesday: I went on a 3 mile run. I ran 2 miles with my 8 year old and the other mile by myself. I would have gone further, but I was pushing the jogger and my little doggie was with us too. It was a pain, so I cut it short. Still a great run though. BTW, I talked my 8 year old son into running a 5k with me! He is such a great little runner. I don’t know what race we’ll do yet, but I’m gonna find us a good one!
Wednesday: I went to my fav Muscle Works class at the gym. Crazy awesome and I loved it.
Thursday: I went to another fav Power Pump class at the gym. We did a bunch of burpees in slow motion and they were so tough! We also did a bunch of pushups and then at the top of each pushup we pushed off and caught air (hands and feet off the ground.) Hard to explain, but very insane. Loved. Every. Minute.
Friday: I went on a 3 mile run in the morning. I didn’t plan very well or I would have gone further. I had to get back to take my oldest to school (he goes at 9:50 on Fridays.) Love it.
When my kids got home from school, I went out on another run with my 8 year old son and 11 year old daughter. It was fun. My daughter only ran a mile with us (I was so proud of her because it was her first REAL run!) and my son and I ran another mile and a half. So….2 1/2 miles total. Very fun.
Today: We had a crazy morning so I couldn’t go to my favorite class. 🙁 I did go to another good muscle class though. When I got home, I went on a 5 mile run. It was so so so HOT though so it was kind of a crappy run. I really self destruct in the heat. It’s pretty pathetic. I had to walk most of the last mile. I thought it was better to walk than face plant on the pavement though. 🙂 It was probably about 80 degrees, but felt like 180! I am a wuss, I know. Still glad I did it though!
Well, that’s it. I am very very tired today. I’m going to go to bed early. Fun.
Oh, I’ll share a couple more pics. My daughter was in the school play this past week. It was so cute and she loved every minute of it. It was a play based in ancient times and she was a Greek Dancer/Chorister.
Well, I hope to have another good exercise week next week! I also hope to have a good eating week too!! Yay!
Hope you are all well and happy! xoxo
