How is everyone's week going?




Goal:

What you kicked ass at:

What you want to work on:

Favourite fitness/food app:

[tuscanlatte]

Goal: starting couch to 5 k today and my final week of fit girls guide. I eventually want to slim down.

Kicked ass: I can't believe I'm in the final week of a program. This is just a big deal for me, I think the social media aspect of it really kept me going.

Work on: I haven't fixed my food as much so I'm going to work on that. I am glad that I've established a routine though so I can keep going with work outs.

Favourite app: I'm trying lose it right now and like it. And the c25k one. I have the FIt girls guide app but it only works to sync with the program you bought so it's useless unless you're doing the program.

I need to start participating with these to keep myself accountable.

[joi922]

Goal: Exercise 3 or more days per week. I currently do 2 consistently.

Kicked ass: Got in 3 miles on the treadmill on Sunday. It's only a walk/job combo because I am the world's worst runner, but I was happy to get in that distance in less than 45 minutes. But the back injury on Monday meant no more exercising for me this week. Had to cancel all my classes

Work on: Eating. I tend to snack mindlessly if I'm not keeping myself busy. So when I'm sitting at my desk working, which is most of my day, I get bored and want to snack for something to do. I need to break that brain habit.

Favorite app: None. I'm lame and a terrible millenial.

Goal: get back on track with my eating

Kicked Ass: I go to the gym 5 times a week and I really like everything I'm doing. I didn't quit in Boot Camp. It was really tough, toughest week yet, and I want to stop so badly. But I didn't. We were doing some combination move and before we started I thought to myself "if I make it through 2 of these, I'll be happy" . I did 8 of them and I'm proud

Work on: I can work out all I want, but if I don't start eating better, I'm not going to be getting anywhere near my long term goal. I stepped on the scale this morning and was extremely mad at myself.

App: MyFitnessPal helps me stay accountable and I started using it again today when I saw the scale.

Goal: eat well, get some exercise

What you kicked ass at: Did well with eating, especially since I've given up all sweets for Lent (although I am doing one "cheat" treat per week)

What you want to work on: I was sick all week so I haven't exercised since last Saturday, so once I really feel better, I need to get that going again

Favourite fitness/food app: I don't use any. I used to use Daily Mile (not as an app, just the website) to log runs and my friends and I all followed each other.

[esgrunner]

joi922, solidarity on no apps!

How about a snack like plain popcorn? That is what I'm snacking on right now because I just feel like eating. I just put the kernels in a plain brown bag in the microwave (no oil, no butter, no chemicals).

[FieryMama]

Goal: Getting to the gym 3x a week and losing weight

Kicked Ass: I feel like this was a decent week for moving, on my gym days. Not so much on my non-gym days. I can get 2 miles in 30 minutes on the elliptical, so I am happy with that.

What to work on: Definitely my eating habits. It's been a really bad food week.

Apps: I have C25K on my phone, but since I can't run on a treadmill, it's been useless. Hoping to start running outside with a friend soon. Also have MFP, but don't use it like I should. My favorite though is Amazon Prime Music so I can lose my mind in the music while I am exercising. :-)

[FieryMama]

Also, I signed up at the gym on the depot so I am hoping to up my frequency to the gym and maybe go twice a day some days. Go over lunch to do a class at the depot and then go to planet fitness and get some time in there as well. Mostly because the gym on the depot is small and going to be super busy in the evenings when I would usually go.

[FieryMama]

Oh... and I have this unrealistic mind set that if I can do 2 miles on the elliptical around 5MPH, that I can run a 5K no problem. Totally know that isn't how it works, but seriously, it would be nice!

[Deleted]

Goals: Get to the gym

Kickass: Gym 4 days in a row - did arms, legs, abs and cardio.

What to work on: Pushing myself harder on cardio

Apps - No apps. Sometimes i take exercises from IG accounts i follow.

I am pissed because i just remember H leaves town next week - that means no gym during the week for me. Ugh.

You can run a 5K no problem. You just need to work your way towards it which that ap will help with.

[runningmommy519]

Goals: keep up with my workouts

Kicked ass: my workouts. I can do 2-3 push-ups on my toes.

Work on: drinking more water

Favorite ap: I don't really have one right now

[taketheshot]

runningmommy519.. Kudos to the push ups. I still can't do one 👎😝

I've been doing core de force through beachbody again. That whole program is intense. I feel like you use your core almost as much as your arms to do push-ups. Also I've never really been able to do them so I'm pretty happy!

a friend posted a picture of her abs on facebook saying "i've been trying to work out a bit this month." I want to be happy for her lol. But I really wish working out for a bit over the period of a month would make me have abs! Jealous, party of 1.

Jealous party of 2

Goals: curb the snacking. I generally have super healthy meals, but I have a hard time resisting snacks— there's a stash at work, and Mh is no help at home, so I can't just not buy the bad snacks. I need willpower!

Kickass: I was one of four people who completed a 3 hour spin-a-thon! My butt was killing me afterward.

What to work on: strength training

Apps: Fitbit and myfitnesspal. Also, I like the NYTimes Well Workouts App, for the 7 minute circuit workouts.

My gym cardio this week. I am pretty happy about it. I got 2 miles in on the elliptical in 25 minutes today. Going to go for 3 miles 3 days a week next week, unless I do zumba and then it will be 2 days on the elliptical.
