    No workouts since Friday. Big family weekend with a funeral and out of town cousins. Then Sunday I got hit with a virus. Feeling a good bit better but still feverish and a little achy today. I'll see how I feel tomorrow on the exercise front.

    I felt like a slug today but got in 34 active mins/over 10,000 steps so I'm happy with that. :)

    Also, my weight had been climbing up and bounced up another 2 lbs so I was glad it dropped back to normal (middle of maintenance goal range) this morning.

    Treadmill walk 4/5 complete. My eating has been on point. No alcohol so far this week! I was able to get my 10,000 steps in for Tuesday, which is significant because Tuesdays have been the only day for the last 4 weeks that I haven't hit my goal. Maybe TMI (sorry!) but my menstrual cycle has been seriously wonky since starting this diet. I hope that changes soon.

    Wednesday morning - April 12
    Diet - much better yesterday, stayed away from the jelly beans and chips, ate lots of protein, even got the better half and the daughter ice cream from the store and wasn't tempted to get any for myself or eat any of theirs (could be that they both like Dolce de Leche which I think is disgustingly sweet and gross!).
    Exercise - did cardio intervals and triceps workout at the gym this morning.

    Met with the trainer at my work gym yesterday and she gave me the kick in the butt I needed. I added lunch time workouts to my calendar reminders 2 days a week and she challenged me to go to our local gym by myself once a week. I've been copping out lately when my gym buddy cancels on me.

    Although I did not workout last night, I was busy painting and not on the couch. I also took a goal setting class yesterday which will help me focus on what I want and how to get there. I really need the structure to get some momentum going.

    Diet have been good but next time my husband wants a jar of peanuts, it has to be out of my sight!

    Managed 3.5 miles yesterday since it was nice and I could walk my favorite trail. I can't do my lunch-walk today because its my day for allergy shots and that takes up my lunch time. If its nice this evening I plan to hit the trail again tonight.

    Well the good news is I'm getting my hourly goals in (the get up and move for 250 steps). That's already increased me 2000 steps more than I was getting which is kindof cool.

    The weather here has been doing odd stuff to the sinuses/allergies still. I'm trying to not use it as an excuse but holy heck Kansas, stop burning things. You're killing me up here!!

    I'm doing good the past 2 days nutrition wise though. Down 3lbs so YAY for a dump week.

    1 hr walk. I wanted to do farmer carry with it but didn't get the chance this time. The kids were high-maintenance.

    Unfortunately I'll have to end this week with 4/5 treadmill walks. My eating is still on track. I woke up this morning feeling like I was drunk. Dizzy, off balance, clouded vision. I went to immediate care and they sent me to the ER for low heart rate. I do have a heart condition and I take meds for that, apparently my dose is too high now so I've got to cut it in half. But in the meantime, no walking on the treadmill while so dizzy. I did reeeeeally want a drink when I got home from the hospital tonight to help relax after the stressful day, but I resisted! Hopefully I will get in to my cardiologist soon and get back on the treadmill.

    4/14 OTF - Power Day (60 Minutes, 796 Calories Burned)

    Today's class was pretty rough. I didn't work as hard as I usually do because my body was feeling off. I also kept smelling something fruity that was making me nauseous. Maybe someone had on perfume or some kind of spray that didn't sit right with me. Oh well, we all have off days and I will be back at it tomorrow.

    Recent health problems have been hampering me lately, but managed to get between 1.5 - 2 mile walk in on my lunch today!

    I got my hourly steps done and was spot on with my macros yesterday. Today is bowling (maybe) and errand running so not gonna get much else done. Such is life huh? Tomorrow's check in should be good though. I'm hoping accountability's scale is following mine. ;D

    4/14: finally did my last Chalean Extreme workout.

    Only two workouts for the week because of illness. Oh well. Ended strong at least. :)

    Now to choose a new strength training program for next week...

    Got in all my goal workouts this week! This morning I ran 2.5 miles with DH (plus we walked about a mile) and got in 16,641 steps! 12,507 on Thurs, 17,478 on Weds and 10,318 on Tues. My goal is 10k so I'm happy with that! I did strength training once this week as well. I'll try to fit that in again tomorrow.

    Oh, and so far (2 weeks in) my Fitbit Charge 2 is motivating me better than the Flex did. I love the increase in data, and all the little goals that turn green and "explode." I find that ridiculously motivating, so it works. ;)
