    You know what guys ?!?!!

    You know what you did ??

    YOU inspired me so much yesterday by doing the scheduled cardio even though we are all so sore that when I got home after a day at work and a retirement dinner (pizza, lasagna, cesar salad and chocolate cake :naughty: ) I went for it ! Full tummy ! Buurrrrrnnnnnneeedddddd calories and beasted my way pumping hard throught the entire workout !!! WITH YOU ALL IN MIND !!!!! You are in my home gym, in the stands, rooting me on !! It's real !!!!!
    I even walked on the treadmill after just to burn an extra 250 cals off the imposed dinner.

    So yeah.
    Thank you
    To say the least.

    I did't do the abs cause I thought I would do a better job at it if I did them on my rest day.
    That felt right to me.
    Toninght is shoulders
    Bring it !!!

    @jburns2005 my husband and I also have to go get more weights. I think I would love a bench also but we will see. Anyone have a smart scale that is inexpensive? I would love one that syncs to MFP.

    Tuesday-beast cardio/ abs
    Wednesday- build shoulders

    We have one bench. Its attached to the boflex my neighbor was going to toss. I love that. We swap off who gets to use it at the moment. I need something for inclines when we are together though.

    HFM Training - Week 10

    Sunday - rest
    Monday - 14 km long run
    Tuesday - 5 km steady run
    Wednesday - 5 km, 6x hill of doom
    Thursday - 6 km steady run
    Friday - rest
    Saturday rest, optional restorative yoga class

    Ok Fierce people, I have 8 weeks left in this plan and I need to switch it up! I love running, but have been stressed being on what has become a rigid schedule and am starting to feel burn out. The long runs are getting long & the short runs are getting long! My goal is to finish and have fun, and I want to ensure my back pain continues to ease away. What my mind and body are telling me is to be kinder to myself and have more fun with this. So I am dropping my heaving lifting for arms & core, and also dropping one short run per week. I am adding 20 minutes each evening of physio exercise (which is really yoga & Pilates based strengthening and stretching), and one optional yoga session per week. My husband and I used to start Saturday date nights with a 6 pm restorative class, but that has fallen away in the past year. So we have decided to start up this tradition again! I am feeling confident that I can complete the race, but I want to feel good during the journey towards it!

    Jamie - I purchased the Eufy bodysense smart scale after doing some research. It retails for around $33 in the U.S. It is supposed to be one of the more accurate home smart scales out there. I have been using it only 3 weeks, but it has been a real game changer for me. One of my main concerns with simultaneous weight loss & race training is going too far on the calorie deficit so as to lose muscle mass rather than fat. The Eufy has given me the comfort that what I am doing is working and that my weight lost is fat. I do not think that it syncs with MFP, and have not been using it for that.

    Have a great week everyone!

    I can totally relate and empathize with this post Lisa. When training for an event, I also had those same feelings of “isn’t this supposed to be fun too”...
    We are always right when we listen to our gut, our heart, our soul, call it what you will. Inside, we know.
    Adapting is key. And fun is a Must in my book if we want this to be a lifestyle.
    Right ?

    I will definitely look into that scale.

    Take care of your back. Sounds like a great plan!
