1. It went okay. Vacation week and first week back from training eh. I need to step it up

2. I am only trying to get in my strength and a little cardio. DH is out of town until memorial day and I still haven't gotten a treadmill. Its officially on my Christmas list.

3. Ugh Don't eat anymore food. Luckily my enablers are gone for the next 2 weeks. Now its up to me.

4. I feel better in my skin. That is always nice

Bonus:

Probably burpees with the push ups.

1. I got 3 out of the 5 PiYo workouts done last week so it was a start. I was incredibly sore by the time Friday rolled around and couldn't work up the motivation to get the others done. Saturday and Sunday were pretty busy too so that didn't help.
2. 5 PiYo workouts. I'll be satisfied with 4 too. I'm trying to be realistic about fitting exercise in when I have a 2 month old that doesn't STTN yet and an H that is gone 3 nights a week.
3. Keep my food choices in check after tonight. Celebrating a friends birthday in a little bit. I forgot to order cereal when I got groceries so that will help hopefully.
4. My wedding ring fits 90% of the time.
Bonus: Sit ups or v-sits. After 3 pilonidal cysts my tailbone can't take all that pressure.

1. How did last week go?
Good. I did all my workouts this week. It was also my first week to really hit it after having been on vacation followed by being very sick with some kind of stomach virus.
Sadly, after 2 weeks off my swimming has taken a really nasty hit. Everything else is pretty ok though.


2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type?
To follow my training peaks schedule. I don't have my workouts from my coach yet but I'm guessing that I'll be running 2-3x; biking 2-3x; and swimming 3x; and doing some core work and strength.



3. What are your food goals for the week?
This is kind of tricky. I had gotten back on WW but it not really working so well. I'm looking at this Metabolic Efficiency Training diet thing as a possibility but I'm kind of on the fence.




4. Any non-scale victories?
First open water swim of the season on Sunday and I didn't die.


Bonus:

What is the exercise you hate the most, but need to do?
Push ups.

I actually had gotten good at them, and then I stopped doing them so much. Now I'm back to doing them and they are hard again and so I hate them.

1. How did last week go?
Not great, my back was killing me all week so I did very little than what I needed to do. Did have a re-exam at the chiro and too new x-rays to try and figure out why my low back/pelvis isn't responding. I have a larger lift and he is trying a couple different adjustments to see if I respond. The bigger lift is taking a lot more time to get used to
The good was I did great staying away from the sweets!

2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type?
Before Friday I would like to get in at least 2 more walks as I got a good walk in over the weekend.

3. What are your food goals for the week?
Stay out of the sweets and portion control. This includes the 13 hours of continuing ed this weekend.

4. Any non-scale victories?
The dress I have on today feels looser and isn't as constricting so maybe eating better is helping.

Bonus:

What is the exercise you hate the most, but need to do?
Anything core related!

[erinshelley21]

tas1883 I know you hate core related exercises, but they might help your lower back. In 13 years my back never felt better than it did when I was focusing on strengthening my core. I was in PT and doing piyo.

[kimberlyb]

1. How did last week go? Last week went pretty well. I got all my workouts in and didn’t eat all the things.

2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type? To get my running mileage in plus 3-4 strength training sessions

3. What are your food goals for the week? Cut down on afternoon snacking

4. Any non-scale victories? I have been a lot better about consistently drinking at least 64 oz of water every day

Bonus:

What is the exercise you hate the most, but need to do? Weighted bench step-ups

[2chatter]

1. I cannot seem to do my PT exercises twice every day. Once. Ugh.

2. PT is all I can do - leg lifts, hamstring stretches and quad tightening. I'm losing my mind.

3. Continue to stay level. I am still at 130.5 - which was my goal weight - with three weeks of zero activity and lots of travel and celebrations. That makes me think I need to drop five more pounds (for my build and height I "should" be 125, that just seems crazy).

4. I found the best shorts ever. They have upped my day to day casual game - replacing sport shorts and making me pick up some cuter tanks. www.loft.com/lou-&-grey-poplin-shorts/421203?prodId=421203&defaultColor=0392&colorExplode=false&skuId=22569394

[erinshelley21]

2chatter, I think I need those shorts! I wouldn't worry too much about the 5 extra pounds. I read something a while back that said the extra 5lbs is you living your life... parties, ice cream with your kids, drinks with your girlfriends, etc.

[liziz]

1. During the week was great, and this weekend wasn't awful despite the crap I ate, since we walked a ton!
2. 2x run, 2x video, try to walk a couple times (one run already done!)
3. Track calories and stay within my goal.
4. I thought of one this weekend, but promptly forgot....
Bonus: Running. It's a love/hate thing.

[jperry]

1. It was kinda lazy day for me.
2. I do some jogging for 20 mins
3. more veggies and lots of fruits
4. Getting younger look xD

I hate to do exercise for abs but i really want to get some abs.
