Fitness Challenge: Day 14

Today was a fail in the workout department–I have a cold, I am stuffed up and breathing constricted. I knew it was coming on yesterday but I was hoping that with having the day off I would be able to kick the cold faster. Sadly, no. So I didn’t workout today. By no means does … Continue reading

Fitness Challenge: Day 13

Today was a good day! All around!! Got up early (my body woke me up at 7am even though I am on vacation) and I caught up on a few tv shows. Then I got my husband up and we worked out together–we shared my 10 pound weights and the step. We did walking lunges … Continue reading

Fitness Challenge: Day 12

Hello gentle readers!! Yesterday wasn’t the big cardio event I was hoping I could sneak in, but it was my first day of vacation and I was going to the Nutcracker Market with my boot camp friends. The day started at 9am at the Randall’s parking lot. We got to the market about an hour … Continue reading

Fitness Challenge: Day 10 & 11

I am going to be honest, yesterday was a fail. After my very bad day on Tuesday I went into work for 8am and didn’t get home till 8pm. I didn’t workout. I don’t feel horribly guilty, my work needed me for that day and I knew I was going to get right back to … Continue reading

Fitness Challenge: Day 9

Today started off really great–got to my 7:15am boot camp and put my everything into the cardio elements to get on the road to Tough Mudder. It was an arms day, so lots of biceps, triceps, back and shoulders. I don’t work these out as much as I should, so today was a lot of sweating, … Continue reading

Fitness Challenge: Day 8

Today was an all-around active day! Work was demanding–I moved heavy freight for a few hours, I got sweaty and gross. I moved heavy objects all around the store and walked to and fro. This is my day at work more often than not. Then when I got home, I had some dinner and then went … Continue reading

Fitness Challenge: Day 7

Today was a good day for exercise, thank you day light savings! I got to sleep in (for me), catch up on one of my shows and then workout! I used my step and my 10 pound weights and followed a written down program from my boot camp. It was mainly leg based, squats, jumping … Continue reading

Fitness Challenge: Day 5 & 6

Yesterday was an interesting and ultimately exhausting day, hence to no blog entry. I was in my second day of GM meetings for work and at 11am we went to a golf range. Let’s be absolutely clear about this–I am not a golfer. I am a mini-putter at best. I was clear with the guys … Continue reading

Fitness Challenge: Day 4

Today I was up early and in a meeting from 8am to 4:30pm. Good, good times. Today was a challenge for movement and eating. I am in a meeting room where their idea of breakfast is a donut. Thankfully they ordered a somewhat healthy lunch, but snack of Halloween candy abounded. Very rough, honestly. Plus, … Continue reading

Fitness Challenge: Day 3

Today started off pretty great! I got to sleep in a little (hello day off!), did some work around the house and then went to my boot camp at 11:30am for something outside my box: Latin Spice dancing. Let me tell you how I am not the dancing type. I don’t have rhythm. I don’t … Continue reading
