So Far So Good

Well I was pretty good last week. I had my lunches at work already and some healthy snacks so that I wouldn't eat junk at work and I also (for the most part) stuck to my exercise program for the week. Last Wednesday I woke up with a bad headache and couldn't shake it all day so needless to say I didn't work out that day. I also didn't work out on Saturday because I got stuck at work and I had four appointments with people to check out reception venues.

This week brought a 1.6 pound loss and some rain. I stuck to my plan and ran today and also had some time to do a mini pilates session before I had to get back to work. Tomorrow morning I am going to run some errands and then get to work a little early so I can walk the treadmill there and eat some lunch before my shift starts. I really like it when I'm well and able to exercise. Even though I dread it most of the time, I feel so good afterwards and even better when I see the results. The goal this week is to stick to the plan of working out Monday-Thursday and Saturday. It's supposed to be gloomy all this week so the gym should be nice and quiet : )

Getting Back in the Swing of Things

So I haven't been running in some time now. When school started in September I was so consumed and stressed out that I didn't do any kind of work out. I ran once I think in Novemeber 2009 but that was it. Then once I was out of school I got sick and didn't get better until New Year's Eve. I started back exercising this past week. I ran about 3/4 of a mile outside during my lunch break on Monday, ran 1.25 miles on Wednesday at the gym, rode the stationary bike at the gym for 7 miles on Thursday and did some mild pilates on Saturday.

The plan for this week is to run tomorrow during my lunch break the same distance as last week if not further, ride the stationary bike at the gym on Tuesday, run at the gym on Wednesday, walk on the treadmill on inclines on Thursday, rest Friday, run at the gym and do mild pilates on Saturday and rest on Sunday. Let's see if I can make this last : )
