Your fitness challenge(s) for the week: week two pushups and week five sit-ups alongs with week 5 of C25K
Your food challenge for the week: More water and count calories.
How well did it go: Water is great...counting calories is also good. I am down a pound this week but my BMI went up due to finding out that I am really 5'2.5" not 5'3". :-(
Failures and slip-ups: Still fighting with shift changes at work. I missed one day of push ups/sit ups but I got 3 running workouts in. Yesterday I ran of 8 minutes without stopping! Twice! Bring on 20 minutes nonstop. also kind of bummed i didn't get my extra workout in again this week. My day off was spent at 4 doctor offices and a trip to the pharmacy.
Weekly challenge wisdom: Fruit and veggies are super low in calories. They are pretty much free foods in my book!
Advice to fellow GET FIT members: tracking your calories keeps you accountable and is educational too. Still learning.

with ya on the free foods! I commend you for running without stopping. That's a milestone and you do it once and I promise it just gets easier and easier...it's inspirational to read other women's journey on the get fit challenge because I often workout at what's comfortable and I need to start steppin it up. you're doing amazing
ReplyDeleteWow you're Good job staying on your workout routine!
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right calorie counting is so educational. I love to know the breakdown and calories of most foods.
At this point, I've gotten to where I eat at 100% or more of all the nutritional items and vitamines/minerals necessary. I have a little label thing like yours too and believe me seeing 100% or more on the good stuff and less than 50% on the basd stuff( fats, cholesterol & sodium is so rewarding!
Last week was a total fail for me... hoping to get back on track! I feel like I have been way out of touch lately and I miss your awesome encouragement! I will work on that ;-)
