Emily's week 22

Nothing, nothing, and nothing! We've all been sick, so I've either been caring for sick children or being sick myself.

Next week we're on vacation up at my parents' house, and I'm not sure what that will mean for exercise. I'm kind of guessing it won't happen, though. We'll see. With some luck I'll get back on track in week 24. :)

Weeks 2 & 3 Summaries for Jess

Week 2:

-30 Day Shred, Level 3

-Personal Training with Jackie (all of it)

Not great, but at least they were both hard workouts. And a big reason I didn't work out much in week 2 was because I was running around getting ready to go camping! Which leads me to . . .

Week 3:

-No official workouts, because we were in the Sierras all week! So, nothing official, but lots of activity - walks and stream hiking and carrying water and all that sort of thing. Lovely.

I have to say that one of the nice things about working out regularly is that when we do something like going camping, it's not hard to transition into that more active lifestyle. It's not hard to walk at altitude or to carry lots of things or just to do all the extras that come with living without modern conveniences.

I also wanted to say welcome to all of you who've started posting since I left! It was fun to come back from vacation and find almost 30 posts from this blog in my feed-reader!

And, Kelly, I changed the display so that it shows a week of posts at a time, instead of 7 posts at a time. Let me know if that looks okay to you.

Week 2-vacation exercising!

Thanks ladies I've really enjoyed reading all your fun and challenging posts! I am loving spending the weekend with my college roomies/best friends in San Diego this weekend! Traveling with kids alone is sooo hard! We've been in 5 different homes in 9 days and BUSY...exercising on vacation is usually so doable for me (I actually usually exercise more because I love love to run!) but vacation without my husband is much more challenging and I am struggling to exercise or sleep at all! I am revamping my goals for the remainder of my husbandless "vacation" to be a bit more managable :-)

1) sleep at least 6 hours a night
2) on non "travel days" (ie driving under 6 hours) exercise in some form for 15 minutes
3) drink 36 oz of water a day
4) Portion and snack control

Here are my week stats!

Mon: Swimming 2x with kids (3 hours) -sleep 6 hrs
Tuesday: Ab ripper X and walking 2 miles with kids to various parks -sleep 7 hrs
Wed: Swimming with kids (1 hour) -sleep 5 hrs
Thursday: TRAVEL DAY (8 hours in car), hiking with Chica's - sleep 4 hours
Friday: Ab ripper X and 2 mile walk - sleep 6 hrs plus 1 hr nap
Saturday: TRAVEL DAY (5 hours) and wedding
Sunday: DAY OF REST!

Any of you in the area hope to see you Tuesday at Gardenhill park in La Mirada for a play date!
