What I did last week:

Thursday-30 minutes on a bike.

Saturday-1 hour of BodyPump.

Sunday-30 minutes walk/run with the dogs. They haven’t done a run in a long time, so it was nice to see what they can do. Hopefully we will be able to do more of these with the weather turning around and Tom getting out of the academy soon.

Monday-20 minute ab workout. Watching all the abs on Dancing With the Stars really pushed me to get my act together.

Tuesday-30 minutes walk/run with the dogs. Grace started protesting, so it was like running with resistance bands on my arms.

Impressed by:

Getting five workouts in.

Struggled with:

There is just a lot of stuff going on right now.

Did I meet my goal from last week?

I did get back on a schedule! 5 out of 7 days is pretty good! It will be messed up again this weekend with family festivities, but I want to continue doing what I can and finding time for it.

What is my goal for next week?

I got a pedometer this weekend. I can’t justify spending 100 bucks on the Fitbit to do essentially that. This one I can hook into my computer too, and track just as easily so it was much better financially. But anyway…I didn’t realize how much I don’t move at work, so my goal is to get at least 10,000 steps in every day. I have been 3-2 thousand steps below that so far since I started wearing it on Sunday.

Fitness Thoughts:

I feel much more inclined to work out when the weather is nice. The workout can still be inside, but there is just something about warmer weather that kicks me into gear. I love it! It is so nice to go for walks again and not have to be bundled up with so many layers.

Do you workout more with nice weather? Do you have a Fitbit? Or are you old school with a pedometer like me?
