Moving the booty!
Workouts have gone well and I am up to 13.93 running miles for the week! I've been to BodyPump a few times this week and even took a group Core Challenge class on Thursday that still has my abs aching. But it's all a good ache. This coming week I will miss BodyPump once due to a Girl Scout meeting scheduled for the same time as class but I can adjust my schedule so that it doesn't kill me. lol I hope to get some good running in this week since I now have only 21 days until my Race for the Cure 5k! I'm hoping to report something exciting in regards to my race as well. And a big thank you to those of you fabulous readers that have helped me in reaching my fundraising goal! Every little bit helps and I appreciate YOUR generosity towards this great cause. :)
I have to tell you that one day this week it was just the hubby and I (no kids home!!) We went to the gym. I ran 3.3 miles, went to Core Challenge class and then to BodyPump. That was the first time I have ever worked out for over 2 hours. It felt sort of Biggest Loser like! I loved it, but boy was I pooped to the max when we finally got home!
Tales from the scale!
The scale is holding steady for me. That is due in part to my choices (some) and my workouts (I tend to retain fluid after tough workouts). But I feel I am struggling getting the scale to move down because my body likes where it currently is! lol Not a good excuse, huh!? Well, this week I am going to call and meet with the nutritionist at my gym. I have the tools and have used them. I have successfully lost and kept off 54 lbs in a year but I want more. I need a new jumpstart on this journey but don't want a fad diet to get me there. I want to continue this the good ol' fashion way. I just need a new outlook and a bit of help from a professional. It happens.
Giving things away!!
Now, onto that giveaway. This is the good part! And really I should save it for a whole other post but why not just get on with it since I am here? ;)
I mentioned a while back about a book (which happens to be my fave!) called Run Like a Mother. It is a great book. It took me just days to read it cover to cover and I have already picked it back up again to re-read. I am not usually the type to read a book twice but this book is different. If you haven't heard of the book I encourage you to check out Run Like a Mother The Book. You don't even have to be a runner to appreciate these two moms!
What I am offerring you is the chance to win the book! I purchased one new this week for one of you and I am realy excited about it! :)
