Sporadic, but Working Out
I’m focusing on cardio and getting other stuff in when can. But it’s still quite sporadic when I hit it. I’m so tired of making excuses, but I will say that my jogging times are ROCKING right now. Even on days I don’t wanna and I feel slow, I am still hitting under 10 minute miles on my 2.8 mile run. This last time I ran it I felt so slow. Just dragging. And I had my best time yet. lol 9.25 per mile. SWEET!
Hubby and I are going to register for a 10k as soon as payday hits on the 30th. This will give us something to work towards with our workouts. I want to finish this 10k well under what I did the first one at and I know I can.
I’m calculating my time per mile and writing it on the family calendar and also am writing down my weight in my planner on days I weigh in. This way I can see the bouncing that is going on each week.
Daily Checkin
Yikes, my food was horrible today. Oh well, that isn’t my goal this month anyway. I’m working on getting it better, but my focus is simply the 15 miles a week.
Today I added 3.2 miles. So that sets me at 9 miles even. 6 more miles to complete in the next 2 days. Exactly where I should be

Checking in for Workouts
I’m proud of myself. Today I did 5.3 miles. 2.5 on the elliptical and 2.8 jogging. Hubby went and jogged with me. It was hard since I’d already done the elliptical, but I got her done! Also didn’t help that my running style has changed so much and I just can’t stay back with hubby any more. I got horrible shin splints because of it. I barely made it.
My diet is ok, but I know I got my workouts done. I only have 9.7 miles left for the week. 3 days to do it in
Day 2 of Exercise Cram
Well I had 3 days to get my 15 mile goal and I am doing well with it. It’s so difficult, but that is my fault huh? Yeah, it is, I know it.
Today was super difficult, cardio was just so much. UGH. But again, my fault, my bad and I do take responsibility. But today I did hit my 5 miles. So between yesterday and today I have 10.5 miles wracked up. So that leaves me 4.5 miles tomorrow. I have a plan for that tomorrow so I can split it up.
Tomorrow is weigh in day. Fingers crossed!
My Motivation
My hubby is my motivation. I’m very thankful for him. Even though it was Father’s Day, we have goals. He was going jogging and then to the gym. I didn’t want to do either. But I went jogging anyway.
So on Sunday I hit 2.4 miles jogging even though I didn’t want to. That was 4 days cardio and 5 days of working out. Not bad. I’m shooting for 6 days of cardio, but hey, I’m pretty sure it didn’t happen all at once before. I can just remember the feeling of my working out the 6 days a week for so long. lol
I’ll build it back up. 5 days this week rocks. I’m happy with it!

World is just testing me
I’m tired of being tested this year. Between injury and sickness, I’m just done. DONE I SAY!
My ribs hurt no matter what. So today I worked out with a client. If it’s going to hurt, then I darn well will just workout and try to lose some weight. I’ve lost a tremendous amount of muscle mass and my cardio is completely gone. It’s embarrassing and I do NOT like to be embarrassed. It’s about the only thing I hate actually.
But food is still OK. It may not be that great tomorrow night, so I guess I’d better work out with a client again. lol I’m off to my Great Uncle’s services and my Aunt and I are going together. I’m up for chinese food even though it’s going to make me sick. It’s so good at this place. But again, I’m making that decision already and I won’t have guilt about it.
Today I had a great workout with my new client. Then I ate pretty well today. Not perfect, but truly I did ok. I’ll continue to do ok with it all. I’m on track, I just get to enjoy some splurges here and there and need to keep them low in number.
It was awesome to get the workout in again. But boy did I feel it. I was so out of breath. I’m not sore and I probably won’t get very sore, but my cardio is crap. I’m still sick and my lungs haven’t been up to par, but I’m just totally out of cardio shape. ugh
