Sorry I'm late posting! Had a well-check for my baby girl this morning. :-)
I like having a weekly goal of how many miles I'm gonna cover. My goal this past week was 16 miles, and I made 13 1/2. This week, I plan on making the full 16 now that I've got a better idea of how to fit it in the week without having to workout every day. Really, the hardest thing for me is keeping my workouts to every other day. I love exercising, and I really want to lose weight, so it's tempting to workout morning and evening - as if I could. But I do get carried away at times and exercise every night after the kids go to bed, and I just don't have time for that. I have to keep myself to every other day so I can take care of business on the off days.
I really love the Leslie Sansone 4-mile workout I have! It's a great workout! I enjoyed the shorter workouts, but they were not as intense as the 4-mile and I would spend the entire time with the shorter workouts trying to make them more difficult. I'm going to keep that DVD and use it when the kids and I workout together, and see about investing in more of her DVDs with the longer walks.
Saturday night I was so tired, and we're officially into sweat-weather here in TX. I did not want to workout. But I did, and oh glory, our little 3 ft. deep pool saved me when I was done. I grabbed the kid's noodles, and floated and floated and floated. Nothing like a giant bathtub for an after-workout soak. I can't wait to do that again!
In case you didn't hear - Alicia is pregnant! Drop by her blog and give her a big hug. She is also celebrating her 4th anniversary. Woohoo!

Good ol' Kristy is keeping me up to date on checking in! I always forget, so I appreciate her little note in my chat box on Mondays!
ReplyDeleteHey Sally!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I never responded to your comment last week! I just can't seem to keep up with my inbox lately.
ANYWAY....of course you don't HAVE to check in every week, but we do like to hear from you! I don't want you to feel any pressure to check-in. That makes this whole thing no fun. :-)
My love of exercise......well, I guess I just like how it feels to exercise. I like to be a little sore from a workout, it feels good to get up and move....my adrenalin gets going and I feel so good after it's done. It's also nice when there's results????? LoL One of these days I'll drop a pound or two! ;-)
Wow. Becca, way to go....13 plus miles sounds so exhausting! Good for you!
