So after a SUPER long week I felt like everyday insane! And some stressful eating horrible habits I am happy to report NO GAINS... But NO loss either! :( I was able to work out 5 x this week but as I am starting to come to grips with reality- I can work out until I am blue in the face its my eating that gets me. I do wonderful all day but late night snack a roe's or some sneaky treats aren't what my body ordered! So on the up and up next week! I ran 16.5 miles this week.
*Next Saturday is my Ogden 1/2 Marathon (YAH AMY!) so those that email/call me their results IF I am alive to tell the tale, results won't be posted until late Saturday more like Sunday!
KATIE WORKOUTS:
1- I run 3-4x a week usually a 4 mile, 5-7 mile, then long run on Saturdays. I do 1-3 aerobic classes at my gym each week OR a P90X at home. I also have started a power walk 1 night week with my stroller and some friends to gab with and LOVE that. Lastly I love to ZUMBA 1-2x a week! THOSE of you that said you always wanted to try it- DO IT! Esp those of you that are running here and there it really helps get those hip flexors more flexible! SO fun! Also I printed off a bunch of Pinterest quick 15-30min work outs that you can do anywhere and I have done those a bunch when I have a TON going on one day!
2-I have always wanted to try a spin class, and have heard from many that it is a great cross training workout for running/walking/swimming etc. I just haven't because I am scared and don't have a cushion butt pair of shorts yet! :)
3-My weekly goals are always try to get at least 6 workouts in each week- so 1xDay. I started doing this last year and have just stuck to it- it really helps me feel better during the day!~ I still haven't decided if working out early morning or late nights works best! I keep switching back and forth!
4-Last year I purchased a POLAR heart rate monitor that keeps track of my heart rate and calories. I love this one because it can get wet too and I just use the watch all day at work and its comfy! I got it on Amazon for like $40 bucks and its been great- with each work out I always try to hit 500 cal at least- unless its a real quick work out.
5- Most of my workouts are an hour- Each Saturday I try to make my "BIG workout" whether its my long run or a really hard class- I do this right before weigh in too so I can sweat off any water weight! :) Its also a great way to start the weekend- and hopefully remind me not to go TOO CRAZY with my "cheat days".
