Fitness Fridays

*Comic courtesy of Questionable Content

Ladies, if you haven’t read this post, please do. In it, I explain that my morning sickness has been out of control lately, leaving me to do exercises such as walking. With my extreme fatigue, it’s a fight to do that My strength training has toned down a lot. I have stopped using the heavier 12-15 pound weights and just use the 8, sometimes 10 lbs weights. I also don’t do any ab exercises.

Here’s my week:

Sunday: Nada

Monday: Strength training, Walked 2 miles

Tuesday: Played DDR with my son for about 30 minutes

Wednesday: Walked 3 miles

Thursday: Strength training, yoga

Friday: Nada

Saturday: I’m going to try and get up (before work) and walk a bit

I see the fact that I’m not nearly up to where I was physically as a challenge. Throughout all of this general feeling of yuckiness, I hope to still keep a good baseline of activity going.

Much better week for me! No swimming though! I think I’m just slacking off on it so I can freak out at the last minute like last time LOL! My first tri is May 22. It’s a little one, but I still need to kick things into gear for the one in June!

Sunday: 45 minute bike
Monday: 3 mile run, strength training
Tuesday: Rest
Wednesday: 60 minute bike, strength training
Thursday: 4 mile run, yoga
Friday: 60 minute bike
Saturday: Rest!

Challenge ladies, we have ONE more Friday before our challenge ends, so make em count!

On another note, I’ve purchased the wave from the Firm series. I actually got it second hand from a coworker who bought it last year and never used it. Her loss, my gain!

The Wave in action!

Here’s hoping I don’t break my neck on this thing! I will be reviewing it of course, once I’ve tried it out a few times.

Ladies, I am very ashamed to report that I have done very little to nothing this week. I’ve had a lingering cold and decided to just take it easy to let myself heal. My cough became terrible and I was still trying to workout. I finally realized that if I didn’t let myself heal, I was going to continue to be worse off.

Tomorrow morning, I will start back, as my cough has significantly lessened since yesterday. My triathlon buddy is in full gear and I don’t want to let her (or myself) down!

Show me yours though and continue to inspire me like you ladies do!

Also, I know I’ve been slacking off on the posting, I’ll do better! I’ve got a lot of ideas and plans!

Sunday: 30 minute bike (I’d planned to make this a rest day, but felt like doing it)

Monday: 2 mile run, 40 minute bike

Tuesday: Strength Training, DDR with DS for about 45 minutes

Wednesday: 30 minute swim with 30 second rests every other lap

Thursday: Nothing. I was wiped out from TOM

Friday: 40 minute bike, strength training

Saturday: ? I’m going to try to run

I am little disappointed with my week. I’m not running like I would like to, mostly because the weather has not been agreeable. I do my best running outside, and I realize that is a feeble excuse. I have also been incredibly fatigued this week, both physically and emotionally. Hormones can be a witch sometimes.

My son is also sick as of Wednesday afternoon and I think I might feel something coming on myself. So is life…!

I realize that had all this been going on several years ago, I would’ve thrown in the towel completely and just not worked out at all. I have to keep on the bright side of things.

How was your week ladies?

Working out is an integral part of losing weight. Share your workout for this past week! Challenge ladies, I really want to hear from you!! Even things like playing with your kids at the park counts!
