Week 6
Week 6 of the challenge and I cannot believe
there are only two weeks left! I underestimated how hard it would be to
exercise 5 days a week when I can only go to Jen's session once a week.
But, I am sticking to it and I have exercised 5 times this week. I did
the steps for the first time this week. Nobody told me that I would need
calf replacements for 3 days after ward! I surprised myself by
really enjoying the workout, I went to the stairs in Potts point from Victoria
Road. I did 12 rounds of 112 steps in a little under 20minutes. I
have no idea if that is good, but I felt pretty good with the results. My
eating has mostly stayed on track, with the exception of the peanut butter
accidentally jumping into my mouth one night...or maybe two. But, other
than that I have been cooking very healthy meals and I have made the change to
only healthy snacks. The best part is that my family is now eating a lot
healthier as well. And, even though I missed the Saturday session because
of the rain, I still made it to the gym to do some strength training.
Week 7
At the beginning of the week I was really
looking forward to the last two weeks of buckling down and kicking this
challenge's bum! I started the week off strong; steps, a run and strength
training. And then I hit a big brick wall. Thanks to my children, I
am now sick. I have missed three days of exercise this week and I am pretty
down about it. I am really hoping that I can breathe through my nose
tomorrow so that I can go for a run. Also, no sessions this week because
I have a conference in the city and I can't miss any of the days. I guess
this means I will have to work twice as hard the last week. At least I
have been keeping up with the healthy eating, which is not easy when you have a
buffet lunch and morning/afternoon teas everyday. I am really
looking forward to the (potentially) nice weather this weekend and clocking the
progress I have made with my long runs. Now, if only I can stop dreaming
about chocolate...
