Working it out weekly thread

I didn't work as hard last week at they gym as I planned on. I blame af for that. I also didn't make healthy choices to eat - remember my drunk post of taco bell? lol...I still want more taco bell.

I did make it to the gym 4 times and continued to work on lifting and machines and did not just do cardio.

This week, I plan on 4 times at the gym, incorporate some ab workouts and continue to work on my legs, shoulders and arms.

I only worked out twice last week although one time was short... I ate like HELL on Saturday (delicious giant burger, pizza, wine, and chocolate).

Plan is 4 times this week and mainly focusing on my booty and abs. I have an inspiration photo so maybe that'll keep me on track!

Made it to the gym twice last week, but also spent about an hour walking at a brisk pace on Friday when the weather was beautiful.

Eating habits are still in need of improvement, as is water intake.

Goal is to get to the gym 3 days this week, 4 if I can manage it time-wise.

Going today after work. It is leg/abs/cardio day since I skipped leg day last week for the outside walk. :-)

Lost another pound. Eating and exercise has been going good. So my goal is to keep it up

my healthy choice today was black beans, grilled chicken and a boiled egg. boom. and i will have a low fat yogurt for snack.

I've been lazy. I need to change that. I also need to stop eating and drinking all of the things. Same story different day.

I have decided that I need to stop focusing on weight. I've started weighing myself multiple times a day. So that's not a behavior I want to fall into again. I think I'm going to set super small goals like working out for 20 minutes twice a week and then go from there. Just focusing on strength and not weight. My eating is OK although I treat myself to too many donuts. Meal planning has really helped us eat healthier though.
Even if it's not the healthiest meal it's way better than anything we could get out.

packmomma it's hard not to focus on weight. I feel like I have a lot of muscle. I have to remind myself of this or I get discouraged.

[tuscanlatte]

packmomma, agreed. I just bought the Fit Girls Guide book. It seemed a bit gimmicky (I have a friend who is super into it) but I think I am going to really enjoy it. It has a focus on self esteem building and community. There is an Instagram community around it, and they do scavenger hunts and little challenges like this one:

It's a marathon over a month. But I am really excited to finally see something on instagram that is positive. I never was inspired by intense fitspo accounts because it didn't really seem achievable.


Also it has a 2 drink allowance so that right there my friends, is more like it. Lol I will ditch pop so fast, but not a drink once in a while!!


And since I am still rambling, I figured out the way to poach eggs exactly how I like them and have been eating them with salsa in the morning. I love it.

I started eating my eggs with salsa during my last pregnancy tuscanlatte.

I worked out last night. Arms and intervals. I then promptly went to sleep.

Freaking sweaty and hot after gym selfie. Abs/back/chest/45 minutes cardio.

[tuscanlatte]

Go FieryMama! I've got arms coming up today too.

packmomma, I'm all for not focusing on weight. It's better to focus on getting stronger and fitter. When you've run a distance longer or faster than you have before, or had great form in yoga or just got sweaty doing something, then (for me at least) it's hard to be too down on my my body drip reduce it too a number. Be proud of yourself!

[th3stryck3r]

I got off track with healthy eating for a couple days, but I'm back on board today, and I just ran 9 miles, so it's shaping up to be a pretty good week. I'm traveling this weekend so hopefully I can stay healthy then.

[Deleted]

This week is shaping up to be a bad week and then there's next week where i won't get any work outs in. then recovery from surgery. insert all the sads here. But I can still make healthy eating choices and I plan on it.

[th3stryck3r]

Surgery is taking care of your health too, @janetheconquerer! Don't be too hard on yourself!

I worked out 2x this week. Getting back into the swing of things. Sore as all hell though.

[FieryMama]

My abs hurt. Every time I bed over I am reminded of it.

[layloo08]

This week has been really great with working out and eating well. I'm going to try to not blow it this weekend. I'm having wine now, though.

[FieryMama]

Arms/shoulders/abs and 50 minutes on the treadmill!
