Morning, ladies.  I'm swamped at work again (surprise) because my deal that was supposed to close on Friday didn't.  I did bad with fitness and food this week but didn't gain any weight (just stayed the same).  I plan on upping my water intake and calorie counting this week.  What did you gals do to workout?

Monday: Nada too sore
Tuesday: Still too sore
Wednesday 45 minutes elliptical
Thursday: 30 minutes elliptical 
Friday: 45 minute Spin
Saturday: 1 hour Spin and a 5 mile hike with H
Sunday: Nothing really...lots of cooking mostly.

    I haven't really been watching my food, but I don't think I've been eating terribly either. But I need to do better with drinking more water. Last week was a bust for working out, I ended up having to work too much. I did get a run in on Saturday morning and went for a bunch of walks on Sunday!

    Monday - I'm gonna say nada.
    Tuesday - Going for a run in the am.
    Wednesday - Run.
    Thursday - Run.
    Friday - AM run.
    Saturday - Run.
    Sunday - Run.

    I am WAY behind on my goal for the month so this week is definitely over loaded on running. I'll try to keep the pace easy so I don't over do but I really need to get caught up or else I won't make my goal!

    Oh,  and I took a picture of Cinders after our Saturday morning run.

    @labro I saw that picture on Instagram and loved it then but will re-love it now too. Cinders is so cute!!!!

    Plan for this week for workouts:

    Monday: Cardio Kickboxing if I can get away during lunch, otherwise, cycle tonight
    Tuesday: Might try "Treading"...its an interval workout on the treadmill that is instructor led
    Wednesday: I'm thinking Boxing if I can get away during lunch, otherwise cycle
    Thursday: Cycle
    Friday: Cycle or Zumba and a 4 mile walk
    Saturday: Cycle
    Sunday: Rest...maybe a mile walk

    Awesome work everyone!

    I ran 5 times last week!! I'm at 13 workouts for the month. I really would not have done this much if it weren't for this group, so THANK YOU!! My plans for this week:

    Monday, Tuesday - run
    Wednesday - no running because cake tasting
    Thursday - no running because food tasting
    Friday, Saturday, Sunday- run

    That will put me at 18 workouts also! I will hit 20 no problem. I weighed myself last week and was flat from the start of September, which is frustrating because I feel like my diet was the same and I really amped up the running. Oh well.

    I am eating poorly this week because FMIL is here, but I'm glad I haven't used that as an excuse to skip my workouts.

    Last week, I did great! I stuck within my calorie goal for each day and I did almost all of my planned workouts. This is what I had planned to do last week (copied and pasted from week 2's check in thread): 

    Monday: Total Tone class (60 minutes) - Success! 
    Tuesday: 40 minutes on the elliptical - Biked for 45 minutes; Success!
    Wednesday: Core and More class (60 minutes)  - Success!
    Thursday: Rest day, I guess? - Rested
    Friday: 40 minutes on the elliptical - Didn't make it to the gym but walked 3 miles
    Saturday: Yoga class (60 minutes) - Success! 
    Sunday: Tennis or hike with H - Success! 

    This week's plan: 

    Monday: 45 minutes cardio
    Tuesday: 45 minutes cardio
    Wednesday: Tennis with H 
    Thursday: 45 minutes cardio
    Friday: 30DS before work 
    Saturday: Rest 
    Sunday: I get home from MA about an hour before the gym closes, I may or may not make it there. 


    I was already an AW in the daily thread.... but I'm -1.4 this week and -3.4 overall since I started 2 weeks ago :)

    I was awful last week. Awful, I tell ya! It's so hard for me to get back on track after I let myself cheat for even one meal. Plusalso, when I tried to go back to the gym, my head just wasn't in it. I totally struggled through the workout and just felt really drained and down afterwards. I hope this week is better because I'm only at 9/20 workouts. :( Doesn't look like I'll make that goal.

    Last week:
    Sunday - I don't think I worked out lol
    Monday - Arms and cardio
    Tuesday - Nada... cheat day
    Wednesday - Trained and then skipped my second planned workout later that day.
    Thursday - Skipped my workout
    Friday - Skipped my workout
    Saturday - Struggled through an arm and cardio workout
    Sunday - nada

    This week...
    Today - Probably skipping, but we'll see. Depends on how I feel and if audrewuh comes over (which will again depend on how I feel)
    Tuesday - Cardio
    Wednesday - Training at 10am and then a cardio workout after
    Thursday - Probably legs
    Friday - Probably arms
    Saturday - Probably cardio
    Sunday - Legs or arms

    I think a lot of people are just shooting for 20 workouts for the month of September.  I was shooting for a workout every day in September.  I've missed three days (all last week) but did double up on several other days earlier in the month so I'm calling it even.  ;)

    Ohhhh gotcha! Thanks for updating me! 

    I'm up to 9 but I was away until the 7th so I think that's pretty good. I mean, it's already 9 more than I did last month so I'm taking it as a win!

    For this weekend and the upcoming week:

    Friday:  PiYo -- PiYo (just Lower Body, though)
    Saturday: Run 1.25 miles -- did 1.75 miles plus warm up and cool down.
    Sunday: Rest day or yoga for stretching -- REST
    Monday: Run 1.5 miles -- did 2.3 miles plus warm up and cool down!  Plan to also do yoga for lower back before bed tonight.

    Tuesday: PiYo or some other DVD.  I have access to Beachbody On Demand for 90 days, so I might try a new work out.
    Wednesday: REST
    Thursday: Supposed to run at least 1.5 miles, but I might trade that with Friday AM and do it while it's cool.
    Friday: See above; or a PiYo/BBOD work out.
    Saturday: Run at least 1.5 miles.
    Sunday:  Yoga for stretching.

    I'm a day late to this because I was swamped yesterday, but...

    Last week I managed everything except my Thursday yoga class, because I got really sick (took some medicine that I'm supposed to take with food without food).  But, I made it up by going to a class on Friday, so I'm counting last week a total success!

    This week:

    Monday: Run
    Tuesday: "Power Hour" hot yoga class
    Wednesday: Rest (or run, if I feel like it)
    Thursday: "Power Hour" hot yoga class
    Friday: "Power Max" hot yoga class, run
    Saturday: "Power Basics" hot yoga class, run
    Sunday: "Power Up/Power Down" hot yoga class

    I'm totally hooked on yoga.  I can do it every day because it doesn't leave me feeling sore or drained, and it helps me focus, and cope with my bipolar disorder.  Total win.

    Didn't weigh myself yet this week, but maybe I'll do that tomorrow.
