What I did last week:

Thursday-30 minutes on a bike.

Weekend-We were out an about most of the weekend. So most of the weekend was spent chasing a toddler. It is fair to say that I was too exhausted to go out for another workout. Prime example is spending a quarter of a football game walking up and down stadium steps to ensure George didn’t bust his head on the concrete because “he knows how to do stairs.”

Tuesday-30 minutes on the elliptical.

Impressed by:

George’s energy and my ability to somewhat keep up.

Struggled with:

This past week was a mess with life stuff so doing things for me was not much of an option.

Did I meet my goal from last week?

Nope…no run in my schedule.

What is my goal for next week?

Take George out on the Katy Trail and explore. This is our first and last free weekend in a long while so I want to soak up some outdoor exploring with Gman since Tom works all weekend.

Fitness Thoughts:

I wish I could run outside and watch Netflix at the same time.

What workouts did you do this week?

What I did last week:

Thursday-30 minutes on a bike.

Sunday-We went to a pumpkin patch. If you have ever chased a toddler around you know how much of a workout it can be trying to keep him from climbing into every wagon in sight or falling headfirst into the chicken coop or hay bales. I was exhausted after our two hours exploring there.

Impressed by:

Not really a whole lot…whoops.

Struggled with:

Getting my butt out the door. My mom was here this weekend, and I wasn’t feeling so hot the beginning of this week for my normal workout times. Better luck next week.

Did I meet my goal from last week?

Nope…

What is my goal for next week?

I want to go for a good run. I haven’t really done a good one since my 10k, and I want to get some quality miles under me. (See same goal as last week, trying again.)

Fitness Thoughts:

I am in a rut. There are so many other things that I would rather be doing than working out right now. I need to find a way back into a routine.

This was me yesterday….

How do you get out of a rut? Do you find that you have too many other things that working out takes a backseat?

First off, Crosby is doing good. They were only able to find that one tumor, so they got that out with no problems. His leg issue is a joint issue which could be early signs of hip dysplasia or arthritis. So we have some things that we are going to try at home to treat that for the time being. Thank you for all the good thoughts and prayer our way. He will be back home this afternoon!

On to my fitness log…

Well this week is slightly embarrassing.

What I did last week:

Thursday-30 minutes on a bike.

Impressed by:

womp. womp.

Struggled with:

Life just happened this week, and working out just took a back seat. But in other news we have pictures up on the wall.

Did I meet my goal from last week?

I failed miserably this last week. But I can’t let this one week define me.

What is my goal for next week?

So it turns out that we cannot cancel our gym membership until January even though we moved out of the city. That was a major bummer. So my goal is to make it to a class on Saturday so it is not a complete waste of money each month.

Fitness Thoughts:

Sometimes I think you just need to have a down week. I am not training for anything big like the Olympics, and I try to stay fairly healthy with what I eat. But sometimes this home-girl needs to just sit on the couch and watch some Ellen for a few hours. These weeks are good for me as long as it doesn’t become a routine.
