Terrific Tuesday

I got about 5 hours of sleep last night, it was pretty restful. Didn't have to pack a lunch today so I stayed in bed an extra half hour. The 100 pushups/situps/squats done. I still managed to get to work....on time, YAY go me. Had cereal and my coffee for breakfast but, I really wish I had a banana.

I had to go to a luncheon at work. This stressed me out for awhile because I couldn't figure out how to get a workout in. Luckily we chose a restaurant in the city so I decided to walk. Ask my co-workers if they wanted to walk with me. Darn they shot me down quickly. It was a pretty enjoyable walk. The weather was perfect. So glad I got a good 4.09 walk in. The luncheon was okay, food was just average. A turkey and avocado on wheat/garden salad/fries. I did have a really good glass of wine. Dinner was turkey meatloaf and potato wedges. Now I'm ready for bed, it's only 7:00. LOL

Day 1 of the FitCrew Journey

Got about 5 hours of sleep, woke up a couple of times but manage to get back to sleep. Did 50 each pushups/situps/squats and drank 16 oz of water. Had oatmeal w/raisins almond milk and 20 oz coffee w/3tsp coffeemate/splenda.

Lunchtime workout KAAOS class 114 each clean & press w/30lbs, boxer twist, jump squats, 3 minute wall sits & 3 minute planks. After class I jumped on the treadmill and walked 3.28 miles/44 minutes. Really didn't feel like walking today but I couldn't come up with a good enough reason to skip it. Finished day 9 of the Let's Get It Done challenge.

Dinner is a fail. I made turkey meatloaf but do not want any. Going to Bed, super tired.

Getting All my ducks in a roll

Tomorrow begins my NEW journey to get back on track. I've put on about 20 pounds since not being able to run/moving/the holiday. I don't know which one is the culprit but I need to get back in control. I've been not eating proper food and opting for junk food. So along with the walking I've added to my daily workout I've joined a group on FB called the #FitCrew Journey. I'm hoping that being a part of the group will keep me motivated and accountable.

I'll be journaling here daily, got my starting weight, pictures and measurements done. Got a pedometer, and will keep doing my daily walks. I have a paper journal for logging in my food and 80 oz of water. See I'm ready for SUCCESS!

I'll continue with my regular workouts and the Lets Get It Done challenge I'm doing (30 days - 100 pushups/situps/squats). This is going to be AWESOME! If I get nothing else from this I hope to make some new friends.

I must start posting earlier, again I'm on the verge of passing out. Just wanted to keep my streak going. Promise to do a real post tomorrow. G'night!

Almost forgot

WOW is only day 6 and I almost forgot to post already. It's gonna be a long year. lol Walked 4.3 miles thru the neighborhood in about 62 minutes. The heel has been hurting all day, I'm getting so sick of this. I just want to run. It's been so long I probably have to start from the beginning like C25K. The calves have been bothering me this week (I think from spin) so I put on my compression sleeves. I seem to help. I also got my day 6 exercises done. 100 each pushups, situps and squats.

I have joined a new support group, I'm trying to deal with the 20 pounds I've packed on in the last 3 months. I'll get more into this later, right now it's bedtime. Hopefully the heel will allow me to walk again in the morning, we'll see.

Jan 4, 2012

I've get to get used to writing 2012, keep putting 2011. So tired today the first day back to work after vacation is exhausting. lol got my walk in at the gym today. It was 14 degrees when I got up this morning so outside walk was no happening. Took my 51 minutes to go 3.5 miles on the treadmill. After that I took the lunchtime KAAOS class, which is a mix of cardio abs and strength. And as if that weren't enough I did day 4 of the challenge. By the time I got back to my desk I didn't a nap. But no rest for the weary, I had physical therapy after work and the first thing she had me do was an incline walk on the treadmill. The physical therapist said my ankle was swollen today but that's probably because I did some jump squats in class. I really need this ankle to heal so I can get back to my life.

The eyes are about shut now, got to go to sleep. Later

1/3/12

Today's the last day of vacation, sad face. Back to the grind tomorrow, at least there's only 2 days left in my work week. Today I went for a walk outside again. OMG it was in the 20s and my fingers were frozen by the time we finished. Oh I didn't mention the husband went with, be still my heart he actually exercised. When we got back and my finger defrosted I did my 100 pushups/situps/squats for the challenge. Man those effing pushups are going to be the death of me. lmao

I tackled the backsplash in the kitchen which was much harder then I thought it was going to be. Why do DIY projects look so easy on TV. Oh that's right it's because they have professionals helping. Anyway it my not be perfect but it looks pretty damn good to me.

Still haven't heard from the swimming instructor at the hotel about private lessons. Think I'll give the Y in Virginia a call tomorrow, I didn't want to have to travel that far but I've got to get started if I want to be able to swim in May for the Tri. That's all I got for now. TTYL
