Get fit Challenge


Your fitness challenge(s) for the weekweek 5 pushups & week 7 of C25K



Your food challenge for the week: More water and count calories.  

How well did it go:  not such a great week.  I got 2/3 of the 25 minute run but only 1/3 circuit workouts.  I am up 1/2 pound (thanks mother nature). 
Food and calorie counts are going well (though I am getting tired of putting in the effort to track every thing).  I eat out once a week, sometimes not at all.  Pack my lunch for work and cook from raw ingredients as much as I can.  New this week, dried beans and veggie broth from trash.  I drank 10 cups of water every day this week.  

Failures and slip-ups: my battle with depression/anxiety are escalating (I assume related to our upcoming vaca but it is really affecting my day to day)  I don't like meds but I may be headed there.  (I am a pharmacist and i hate meds....irony)

Weekly challenge wisdom: Keep fighting!  THis is a battle  we can win.  

Advice to fellow GET FIT members: now that I have done 200 situps for 6 weeks and complete the program I found the article on why crunched don't work so I will be replacing my crunches with hundreds and Maybe a plank or 2 because I love plank!


Goals this week:

C25K: Continuing to run 25 minutes three time a week.  Working up to 2.5 miles Even if it takes more than 25 minutes. I am hoping to work up to a 10 minute mile.  (I have been hanging out around 11-12 minutes)
Continue circuit training 3 days a week.
