1. How did last week go? Where there any challenges?

I was able to get in all workouts except for one run. Sick kiddo is now by biggest challenge to my routine. Also eating at the house.



2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type?

I would like to do 6 workouts. 3 runs and 3 daily burns but it looks like it is going to have to be two runs and five daily burns. Sick kid and DST are killing my ablity to wak up in the morning.


3. What are your food goals for the week?


Keep up with tracking calories. Learning what is a good snack and what is bad. Trying to keep myself from eating when bored.

4. Non scale victories? Do we want to bring this one back too?

Was finally able to run 30 min without walking!!!!

1. How did last week go? Where there any challenges?
Last week went well. I lost a bit more weight, bringing my official total to 8.5lbs since Jan 2. I have 2.5 more to go. I was hoping to finish by the end of March, but I'm not confident that will happen. I got in 7 workouts - treadmill and some bodyweight strength workouts.

Challenges: birthday cake. And chicken parm with delicious gravy/sauce. OMG. and so much of it left over.


2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type?
Aiming for 5 workouts. I'm not counting yesterday's slacking sort of bodyweight workout. I would like to get in 5 good treadmill workouts, and some bodyweight stuff worked in (routine is 125 ab reps, 3*15 pushups, 60 lunges, 60 side lunges, 6*10 "fire hydrants", 2-3* 1 min planks). Any other recommendations??


3. What are your food goals for the week?

I have tracked my food on MyFitnessPal every day for the past 71 days. My goal is to continue, and to stay under my calorie range.


4. Non scale victories? Do we want to bring this one back too?
I had to buy new pants last fall, because my old ones were too small. Then I gained more weight, and the new pants were too tight. I tried to wear the new pants late last week, and they were TOO BAGGY! WOOOO!!

1. How did last week go? Where there any challenges?
Last week went really well. I walked more than 2 miles each day at work and had a couple 4 mile days. I really can't believe that I walk that much just in the office. I was really please on how well my back held up only seeing the chiro 2 days last week.
2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type?
Same goal as last week but instead of 2 miles I would like to get in 3 miles each day. I would also love to take a break and go outside for 15 minutes each day weather permitting. (by the time I get home it is dark and I'm exhausted)
3. What are your food goals for the week?
Stay off the office candy...I have granola and grapes for snack today

mae0111 - my favorites are Russian twists, V ups, side planks and mountain climbers.

1. Four boxing workouts and two runs - including 5 miles on Sunday. I thought family camp would be more challenging.

2. Three or four boxing, three runs - one run down (two miles only, yesterday after the five miles Sunday and boxing were a bad idea).

3. Eat even better than last week - camp meals were all prepared so that was 4 baaaad meals. And desserts. And smores.

4. I'm for sure running a 10k - the difference strength training has made in running is crazy.

I figured out that I can run while the kids have outdoor practices - DD hangs with DS. It will make running much easier.

1. Family time was the only thing that got in my way last week - we did a brisk walk all together rather than a run, and I counted it! Everything else went great/I managed to fit it in between friend times!
2. 3 runs, 3 videos + yoga. Already done with one video + yoga yesterday.
3. Keep tracking calories and try to stay UNDER the goal!
4. I got complimented on my push up at yoga last night - made me feel like all the work I'm doing is paying off!

1. How did last week go? Where there any challenges?




Last week was Meh. My back was still hurting and I ate too many of my daughter's birthday cupcakes. They turned out really cute by the way. 

2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type?




Swim 3x's
Run 2x
HIIT 2x
Strength 1x
Brick of Bike & Run 1x 

Still getting over my back...so I'm going to have to see if I can run tonight like I want to. 

3. What are your food goals for the week?




Stop eating all the things. I'm going to try to track my food. Really do it. 


4. Non scale victories? Do we want to bring this one back too?

I was able to do a brick on Saturday 2x of 15 mile bike followed by 2 mile run. It was good to run again!

1. How did last week go? Where there any challenges?
I seriously fell off the food wagon last Wednesday. I had work stress and family stress and ate all the things I also only tracked on mfp four days last week. I did get all my work outs in though.

2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type?
Get my running mileage and strength training sessions in.

3. What are your food goals for the week?
Track at least 5 days on mfp and to make healthy food choices while we are in Vegas

4. Non scale victories? Do we want to bring this one back too? I have been slowly increasing my speed and can now run 5 miles in 40 minutes.

Thanks liziz ! It has been a two year process

1. Last week, I got in my 3 workouts. Two were great, one was a bust. Meals were great (but there was a lot of ridiculous dessert).

2. If my husband gets home from work on time tomorrow, I'll get in my 3rd crossfit workout of the week. And I plan on going Saturday morning as well.

3. We've eaten pretty healthy so far this week - lots of fresh meat and veggies. I struggle with portion control though. In that, I have no control.

4. NSV - Did a high-rep volume this week with 115# deadlifts. Usually, I'd do that kind of workout at 95#, so that was really big for me. My back and hamstrings are screaming today though.

mae0111, yes to mountain climbers... but keep your butt down.

I can't get over some of you ladies and your running/endurance. Whew!
