For the accountability challenge I am aiming for at least 7 hours sleep each night. Since it is school vacation week, I should really use the opportunity to get some good rest.
I was able to get my swim in yesterday, so it ended up being a double with a morning run and afternoon swim. This morning I lifted, and followed it with a short run. Tomorrow may be a rest day - will wait and see how I feel.
I did the yoga video. Tomatoes are part of my regular diet anyways (I eat grape tomatoes almost every day as a snack or with lunch), so that is not a problem. Yesterday I also wore a backpack with 12lb dumbbell while doing laundry and packing away winter clothes and gear - yeah that wasn't much fun! I added 5lbs to my bench press this morning, but could only get out two reps, so I dropped it back down - not going to take a chance there, especially without a spotter. I know, 5lbs doesn't sound like much, but I'm already working at a high weight/low rep, so another 5lbs really is a lot more for me at this time. I also decreased the assist on my pullups by 10lbs, and did 3 dropsets (5 reps then added 10lbs back to the assist and did 5 more reps). I attempted a dumbbell press with the 35lb dumbbells (which I did successfully last week) but couldn't even get them up so I had to drop back to 30. And then I did 2 sets of 10 pushups with a 10lb plate on my back. That was the best way I could think to fulfill the roadbock, and that would also make sense for my workouts.2 -
@ka97 One word for all that: AWESOME!

Yoga done. Nutritional challenge done. (Tomatoes in my soup, on my pizza and in salsa)
And now I need a nap after reading @ka97 's update! You go girl!!!!0 -
Awww thanks guys! I was worried I wasn't doing enough for that roadblock.
@mswanger09 I actually wanted a nap yesterday morning!
Taking a rest day today. I think I'm fighting a cold and determined not to let it win.0 -

@hawkins410 I want to know how well you do on that one pose with your knees bent to your sides and you lay on your back
@120maggie, umm, THAT pose didn't make it to my house either! In fact, the "Rocking Baby" kind of rocked on over to the side and I think I looked more like a struggling pill bug!
When I got home from work yesterday, it was beautiful out, so I strapped on my backpack (with two 5 lb. weights in it) and headed out for a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood. It was not as easy as I thought it would be! Our neighborhood is rather hilly and I started to feel the burn on the first hill. Boy was I glad when I finished up! I felt like I was going to fly!
I finished up my half hour of chores with that "contraption" on this morning, so 50 more pts in the bag!
For the nutrition challenge I had salsa night one, roasted garlic night two (remember it doesn't need to always be tomatoes), and angel hair pasta with a spicy tomato sauce last night. All yummy!!
So, two more days of the water, and all challenges will be complete! Yay!

@hawkins410 and @120maggie, I was able to make it to my elbows, there was no way I was making it all the way to my back! Though, that would be a good goal to work towards. And the happy baby, well, I might have rolled to far to one direction and fell over. Ooops. Glad it was just my cats to witness that one!0

Yes, looking back over these challenge I would say that gracefulness has not been at the forefront of my performances. clodding in the Irish dancing, belly dancing with my whole torso, swinging that kettle ball. Do you really think I did the bunny hop at the end of those burpies???!

Hop, hop, hop!! That's about the ONLY part I could do!! 1

Quick check in - busy day planned but I got it started with a 6 mile run so all is good. Staying at my parents house for the next two days so that should be interesting!0

I've been in the hospital with my son all week. After the absolute worst day of my life and a very stressful week. Everything is okay. He just needs medicine to control seizures. All of his tests came back clear. I'm still not home. I'm going to try to get miles in tomorrow and do the challenges. Keep up the good work ladies!0

So great to hear it is going well, @Diana6ft!! Your 85 miles and 50 pts. for the weight challenge are entered. Soooo impressive that you are keeping up in spite of the setbacks you've had to endure lately!!
@leti126, happy that you are feeling better! Yoga with weights on is amazing!
What an awesome team!! 0 -
@diana6ft - glad to hear your son is doing better, and hope that you are both ok!
Well, I apologize that my mileage numbers are down this week. I had a couple of rest days planned because of other things going on. Today should have been my long run, but I really just wanted one day with some quiet down time before going back to work tomorrow. I NEVER skip a long run, it's pretty much a non-negotiable, but today I did. Tomorrow will likely be a double.

hey you did your challenges and you listened to what your body needed. No need for apologies! Have a great week back to school.0

Done done done all challenges done this week for me.
