10/27-11-14

The weeks in which nothing happened.

My oldest spent the last week of October and the first week of November sick.  I joined him for part of that time with an apparent case of strep (I say "apparent" because I was never actually tested for it).  Ugh.  I think the last time I was that sick, I was probably in elementary school, too.

Needless to say, my fitness and dieting habits were completely derailed during this time.  Now, I'm in the midst of "survival mode" for the end of the term, and my good intentions are far from my mind.  Ironically, my illness gave me a "boost" in this area - I lost about 5 pounds while sick and can now fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans.  To ensure that those pounds don't creep back, I'm trying to pay careful attention to what I eat and avoid over-indulging.  I enjoyed a vegetarian dinner this evening - a small step in the right direction, I would say.

A Great Week

Monday- ran 3 miles
Tuesday- Jillian video- Yoga Meltdown level 1
Wednesday- ran 6 miles
Thursday- pilates barre class (at the Y, and amazing!), ran 4 miles
Friday- Sea World trip with the kids- my phone's pedometer said that we walked 3.5 miles
Saturday- ran 7.5 miles
Sunday-walked with family- 20 mins

A very good week. I wish that the logistics would fall into place for this to happen every week! In between was a week of moderate workouts, after I heard that there were no findings on my heart tests.

Oct 19-25

Thurs - 40 min hilly walk

Still working on adding days to this list!  This week isn't looking too promising so far . . . have had a sick 5 yr old for the last two days, which has kept my hands full.

Monday: Extreme Shed & Shred DVD, Level 1
Tuesday: 45 minute hike

Oct 12-18

One activity to report - a 40 min hilly walk pushing a stroller.  My first goal is to increase this activity to 2x/wk.

My husband also surprised me by announcing he wanted to go back on Weight Watchers.  I despise dieting and didn't have a great week.  But tracking my eating habits is (unfortunately) good for me, so I'm pressing forward.  I have healthful snacks on hand this week to help me avoid temptation.

Stress?

Monday- ran 3 miles
Tuesday- 10 minutes chiseled pilates barre video (way too fast for me)
Wednesday- n
Thursday- n
Friday- n
Saturday- ran 6.5 miles (slowly)
Sunday- n

On Tues, I began having some weird heart palpitations. Went to the Dr. and they did an EKG, blood test, and chest x-ray to rule out anything bad. Said it was stress/ anxiety most likely. Life has been crazy, but it has been crazier at other points. I think it might have to do with some hormonal fluctuations too. They put no restrictions on my activity, so I did go to the Y again on Saturday to run (slower though). I felt better on Saturday than any other day, so it kind of confirms that exercising really does help me regulate stress.

Checking in Again

Ladies, you remind me of the importance of keeping a workout log.  I'm going to rededicate myself to one - otherwise, the "baby weight" will become permanent weight (no thank you!)

Looking forward to posting my workouts for this week . . .
