My strength training hasn't lasted that long since last week lol. Water wasn't very good today though. And surprisingly, my blisters aren't as bad as I would've thought. There more like just swollen sore spots, so maybe that wouldn't be considered a blister since the skin isn't broken. I have no idea lol, but I did work out through it like I said I would.

Ok I fell off the wagon last week. Only got a little over 60 minutes of exercise in but I lost 4.6 lbs (shocking since I've been fluctuating between the same few pounds for 6 weeks!) and completed my 5k on saturday in 31 minutes and some odd seconds, first one I've run the whole way through. So even though I didn't meet my minutes and water I had a good week goal wise. I'm looking forward to getting back on track with everyone this weeek and really PUSHING myself! Good luck to everyone this week!!!

Awesome that you lost 4.6 pounds and you did a 5K!! I'm going to do my first 5K this Saturday. Any tips?

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great Thursday-one day closer to the weekend and maybe some nice weather! If mother nature cooperates, I am hoping to get a good 4 hours of riding in on Saturday!

So here's my numbers for the past 2 days:

Wednesday:
40 minutes-elliptical
50 minutes-bike (still on the stand inside)
8 glasses of water

Thursday
60 minutes-elliptical
30 minutes-walking
60 minutes-circuit training
10 glasses of water

I am at 495 minutes for the week but really have no clue on the breakdown between cardio and strength training-will figure that out before the week is over.

Keep up the good work!

TracieJ65

Fantastic week so far Jenn! You are doing great! I too am hoping to get a good bike ride in on Saturday and maybe even some roller skating!

Hey Gang:

I am sick of this weather! Winter was long enough and I am really itching to get out for some serious riding. I need to start logging more miles in prep for RAGBRAI. I caved and brought the bike inside tonight so I could spin for a bit on the training stand but it just not the same (or as fun)!

So here's the numbers for the week so far:

Monday:
45 minutes of elliptical
30 minutes-walking
60 minutes-circuit training

8 glasses of water

Tuesday:
45 minutes-elliptical
30 minutes-walking
15 minutes-lifted weights standing on bosu
30 minutes-bike on training stand

9 glasses of water

Keep up the good work everyone!
Jenn

Wow--Ragbrai? I'm impressed! Do you do the whole week?

Things going ok on my end. Starting off Friday morning with 175 minutes still to log for the week. BUT no work today, so it's time to get off the computer and get to cleaning and exercising. Yesterday was a day off, so really ready to get busy today!

TracieJ65

Here is my results for Week three, Day five
I did 39 minutes of walk/run intervals and burned, per my HRM, 628 calories
I did 41 minutes on the elliptical and burned, per my HRM, 656 calories

I am already at my 18 glasses of water for the day so there will be more

I have done 438 minutes of cardio, 92 minutes of strength, and 39 minutes of other for a total of 569 minutes so far this week

I am really burnt out this week and it has me frustrated. My daughter and grandson got here for Easter weekend, last night, so over the last three days I have also done three hours of carpet cleaning, washing dogs, striping beds and washing sheets/comforters, a lot of extra cooking, grocery shopping, and tons of other cleaning. I think all of the extra stuff has really burned me out. Plus, today, it is snowing/raining, AGAIN, and it has been dark outside all day long. BUT, I have kept PUSHING MYSELF to get in my workouts and to feel good about it.

Well, I did my 3.5 hours of farming yesterday (60 minutes for 600 calories.)

I was so sore today, but COULD HAVE worked out. Well, it's Good Friday, service was 1.5 hours long, I had major shopping to do & going to work (where I am now.)

Let's hope tomorrow I will get something in! Still gotta go to work, though.

Good evening all! At some point the "winter" in the middle of spring that we have been experiencing will hopefully change to spring -- although I have a feeling we will just be skipping spring and going straight into summer. Tuesday we got 10 inches of snow... again!

Today my intention was to run the overpass route backwards... except I got lost. Instead of giving up I found myself on a challenging hilly trail run! I managed to make it 8 miles today... best time ever for 8 miles as well, even with all the hills!

Monday: 4 mile run + 1/2 P90X CST (1230 calories)
Tuesday: 30 minutes Plyo X (270 calories)
Wednesday: REST DAY
Thursday: 40 minutes Yoga X (280 calories)
Friday: 8 mile hilly trail run (1860)


= 3640 calories

Didn't get to post yesterday. Friday 70 minutes 12 8 oz glasses.
We dyed eggs with not to many miss haps. Older son's second time(1st he was onlt 4wks) he spilled the blue and we had a blue kid for a few days! Hehe can laugh now. The baby just has some orange fingers and tried to eat the eggs with the shell, we peeled one he wasn't fond of it. Our dog loved his egg like always!

Know today most likely I won't get to much more exercise in so 60 minutes. Will up date tomorrow morning. Another busy day.

Tracie hope you feel less burnt out as you enjoy playing with your grandson. Kids make everything better.

Good job everyone keep going!!!
