Questions/Advice

GTKY - 4th of July Plans?

Sorry for the late post,I'm cranky and exhausted.
Ladies - I think 99% of us failed at being healthy last week.  Let's make this week better!

[judyblume14]

Game Plan - Crossfit x 4. This is lofty, but I figure that a 3-day weekend means more opportunity to get to the gym.

Awesome - eh, nothing really.
Awful - Food choices this weekend are making me feel awful - physically, and in a guilty-kind-of way.

Questions - just out of curiosity, for those of you who are working out... are you morning, afternoon or evening people?

GTKY - I have off work on Friday, so if it's nice, we'll take L to my dad's hour to play in the pool. Saturday, we'll do early afternoon with my family (pool party/cookout), and early evening with hub's family. July 4th is my favorite holiday and I LOVE fireworks, but with a long drive home, I don't think we'll be staying to watch. Sunday - more pool time if weather cooperates. Mama needs a tannnn.

Game plan - I feel like shit again, boo. I did pack a salad for lunch but I couldn't eat any of it...lame.

Awesome - my bday is tomorrow, not workout related awesome but hey

Awful - work brought in pastries and juice to celebrate this morning and right after I ate it, I wanted to ralph. I think it's the bad food choices making me feel so awful. No more.

Questions/advice none now.
I used to work out in the morning because it was easier to fit into my day. I am switching to night work out though.

GTKY - 4th of July - we are supposed to get together with DH's family...depends on how I feel I guess. Right now I just want to sleep.

Game plan- drink water. I want to walk/hike every day, but I looked at our forecast and we're supposed to have rain until the end of next week. So I guess I'll just do what I can.

Awesome- Our anniversary was yesterday

Awful- I ate terribly over the weekend, and it really has made me feel yucky. I also drank soda this weekend which I almost never do.

Questions/Advice- I preferred mornings when I was working out consistently. I think afternoon/evening would be easier schedule-wise now.

GTKY - 4th of July Plans- We're going to be in a cabin at a state park (anniversary trip/vacation with MIL). Fishing, hiking, and napping are all viable Saturday options.

Game Plan: Keep walking!

Awesome/Awful: See Monday rant, its going to be a long week! I feel like I didnt eat all that horribly last week though.

Questions/Advice

GTKY - 4th of July Plans? We are having a cookout on Saturday with friends and family and Sunday was going to try and beach it but who knows now with this hand!

[thelittlesrunmylife]

Game plan: I have to try to keep up with my workout habit even though we will be camping. Maybe the extra walking will help even things out because I'm not a runner and I do not want to have to go that route.

Awful: didn't do so well with eating and meal planning/prep. And this week will be hard also. I'm going to try to stick with the healthier choices for camping though.

Awesome: even though I have a different ankle thing going on, it seems that the foot is finally almost back to normal! The good news is that my ankle seems to be from my worn out sandals. Time for new shoes!

4th of July plans: we are headed to the beach for my annual family camping trip tomorrow. I am absolutely not ready. As in not even close. It takes a lot of planning to get 4 kids ready for anything. Especially when it's an overnight trip. And there is so much stuff that needs to go with us. It will be fun once we get there so it's worth it!

Edited because I forgot the question! I'm a night time gym person. I like the quiet and empty gym so I tend to go at 10-11pm. I went to Zumba at 5:30 yesterday evening and it's just too crowded. I'm not there to chit-chat. I think I will be going back to my late nights.

[judyblume14]

thelittlesrunmylife, i can't even imagine packing for camping with just me, hubs and LO. Packing for FOUR kids? Yikes, good luck!

As for healthy eating while camping... in a ll of the spare time you'll have this week ;-) could you make some foil packets that you can throw on the grill?

-salmon, lemon slices, asparagus, garlic
-chicken breast, peppers, onions, pineapple slices
-pork chop, apple slices, cinnamon, onions, sweet potato chunks

Game Plan: I'm in a complete work out funk. My goal this week is to not go off the deep end diet wise over the weekend. My MIL is my diet cryptonite. She shows love with food which means she has a ton of things that I love to eat at her house over vacation weekends like this one.

Awesome/Awful: awesome I emailed a trainer that my normal trainer (who can't fit me in on her schedule) recommended. Now I just need him to respond so I can set up sessions. I think I'm going to go twice a week until I can put on enough muscle to go back to some kind of group exercise.

Awful: I am supposed to leave my house by 6 and have tried to wake up twice this week at 430 to workout but then I just reset my alarm.

Questions/Advice: I am definitely a morning work out person but I think I'm going to have to accept that it needs to be later in the day. My issue is that I put V to bed at 7/730 and then would rather hang out with dh.

GTKY - 4th of July Plans?
My in laws have a house on the water in a fishing town near Houston. We will be going there this weekend. My sister and her hubs are going and my BIL and SIL are going to come from Hawaii with their two kids. The fourth is a big deal for all of us and it should be a blast. Heading down Wednesday night and back on Monday evening.

vavavictoria, sounds like an awesome weekend! Good luck with you training schedule!

[judyblume14]

I didn't answer my own question.

I already wake up at 5:15 to get our little family out the door on time. Could NOT possibly wake up any earlier! So during the week, I go to the gym immediately after work. I go to a 4:30 class so that I'm home at 6, right as hubs and LO are getting home. On the weekends, I go to the gym at 9:30 am. Lets me sleep in / hang out in bed with LO and DH for a bit, but I'm also home and showered by about 11, leaving most of the day open!

editing to add that going to the gym after work is a great stress reliever for me.  Plus, I miss a good chunk of rush hour traffic.  Win/Win.
