Your food challenge for the week: eating out.
How well did it go: I didn't eat out at all. I packed my lunch for work both days I worked. Yay!!! Towards the end of last week I was starting to feel a cold settling in (both kids had been coughing all week) This week it's been getting worse all week...yuck. My abs were so sore from coughing that I could complete a single set on the sit up challenge but I did manage to complete the whole week on the squat challenge and actually did over 600 squats this week! I got out an ran twice this week but i think my lungs just weren't all there. but the point is that I did it. (I did skip one of my runs)
Failures and slip-ups: I skipped on run, I would like to say it was due to being sick but really I think I could have done it and I decided not to.
Weekly challenge wisdom: If you're not feeling well it's ok to cut back on your workout but you will feel better if you do something physical every day.
Advice to fellow GET FIT members: even though we are doing this for ourselves right now it will benefit our families in the long run. They are seeing us eat better and move more and thats a great thing. (Parent magazine is doing a 12 week get fit as a family challenge...looks like fun. If you sign up you can win a trip to hawaii)
Goals this week:
I am repeating week 3 of the situp challenge and week 3 of C25k but moving on to week 5 of the squat challenge.
C25K: Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then do two repetitions of the following:
- Jog 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
- Walk 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
- Jog 400 yards (or 3 minutes)
- Walk 400 yards (or three minutes)

ReplyDeleteyou are doing great! Sorry you were sick though. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI love your advice this week! And so proud of you not eating out! I know that can be a hard habit to break. You are doing so awesome =)
ReplyDeleteGreat check in and great advice!
ReplyDeleteA friend that is new to running asked me about C25k. How do you like it? I'm not familiar with the program so I wasn't very helpful to her.
The c25k is awesome. I have tried once before but I just did the runs in order but didn't get in 3 run a week so it was a bust. this time I am forcing myself to go three times a week and by the end of the week the run feels pretty good. I am very encouraged by the progression week by week and realizing that i am doing something this week that I couldn't do last week. I have had several friend do the entire program one friend went on to a 10k than a half marathon than a full than a half while 22 weeks pregnant! ANyway...it's a good program. there are some good podcasts out there to help keep time.
