2012 52 5/7 Challenge

Thanks Debra, I'm glad i inspire someone!

My Friday was 5/7 with a 2.5 mile speed walk with reps!
I saw a mountain lion late the night before by our barn & again this morning across our dam. I guess it is wearing a whistle on a lanyard and carrying a BIG stick. Had to do this another year when some were spotted close to farms. Makes going out not as enjoyable!!

BUsy weekend... not home much like I thought. I am disappointed that I got nothing in for fitness to start my week yesterday. I am thinking of doing a total body work out today and I also have to go mow the rental... which is three hours of push mowing... so that should burn some calories... might be late... but I will let you know!
Have a greta week everyone!




goodness... wish there was auto spell check for monday mornings, edited so you could read it!!

I did not even notice Debra!:laugh: :laugh:

2/7 was a repeat of yesterday but tonite I was pushing my grandson in the jogger ( he is almost 6). My how he is growing!

3/7 was a 6 plus mile bike ride!!!

The above should have said 5/7 not 4/7.
I took Friday as a day of rest (sorta)!
Today is 6/7 with a 4 mile run and a 1 mile walk!

Have a great weekend!!!

Sorry ladies... yes I have been getting fitness in... but unable to make it to groups. I can post from my phone to groups... but cannot see what I have written until after it posts... and sometimes my phone will totally change the words for some reason. I am sure it is me... LOL
But I finished last week 6/7, one of the days was just a 15 minute walk... but I am trying hard to fit something in everyday. I took Saturday off.. but did outside yard work and we closed our swimming pool.
Sunday I got up and asked my husband if he wanted to go for a walk. We are trying to repair a bad patch in our marriage and I am going to ask him to go on a weekly walk with me... instead of leaving him... haha ... well hubby decided to run part of it. I was feeling a little dehydrated and said no at first... but then when I seen him running a head of me... I thought, why not, so I ran for about 2 miles and also walked for about 2... I had to ge back to the house to prepare lunch because my son was having his girlfriend over for lunch and we had baseball later in he afternoon. HUbby ended up running three total and walked 2... what was a little funny was it just kicked his butt.... he came home asking me how I do that??.... hahaha... I came home, started laundry, put some clothes on the line, took a shower and started lunch... hehehe.. I told him... well I don't "NOT" exercise for a year and then try to run 3 miles... haha,,, I try to do a little something everyday... Go ME! :drinker:
But on my way back home.... a little rural church had let out . I was running against traffic like you are suppose to... well this light colored car was coming at me... I kept thinking... "it will get over".. "it has to see me".. I could see it coming for a good half mile... and it was getting closer and closer and it was not moving over,... I was all the way on the birm.. but this is a rural county road right... I keep thinking... it has to see me... well I ended up having to jump in the ditch! Forheavens sake... I was screaming at the vehicle and then as it passed me I could see it was an eldery lady... had to be coming from church and I honestly believe she never did see me... and if she did... shame on her for not getting over. I had thought about running right up to the church and telling the pastor to have a talk with his elderly congregation... "share the road"// I didn't yesterday because I was busy.... but I just might pop in or send a letter out this week... thanks goodness I was paying attention... scared me to death!

5/7 Billy's Ab boot camp

Glad to see you back Ivy... I give you a shout out and then I disappear! :flowerforyou:

I am having trouble iwth the new laptop that I just purchased in March of this year. I have kept the kids off of it.... and done nothing to it, usuing it mainly to post here and with my sewing machine software. I have done a handleful of jobs this year. The screen appears to be going out on it... ugh!:mad:

Heather... so proud of you.. you have really been hitting the running and sticking with it! YOu will do amazing at your half... no doubt about it!

Verda.... my cyber twin..... I love that you are so giving and helpful... I wish there were not so many states between us... I would help you out! I am having some burnout too. I just haven't felt very well this week. I have been having weird dreams... I have been having food cravings that have been crazy. I have been hungry and tired and cold and well, as you put it... just burned out. I am not really sad or defeated... just tired and over whelmed. I am afraid to weigh myself.. because I logged NOTHING for the last 4 days.... sigh... I ended up with only 3/7 in fitness last week. once Wednesday hit... I had things to do everyday and i was just run, run, running.
Today we have another meeting with my son's future travel team coach. I think I shared that he had a bunch of offers for travel baseball next year, it was a bit over whelming but we think we made a good choice. We went to what is called a "showcase" last Wednesday which invloves him being put through a tryout like session as if he were in college. We also talked with scouts... it was a huge eye opener...

But... off track there a bit... I am gonna get on it this week. I am thinking of getting a new HIIT program and trying it????? I don't know I may be a tiny bit mad at myself... I lose 5 pounds, then gain it back.... for 2 years now!!! UGH!!!
