I had a lot of con ed for work in addition to my regular hours so not as much time for exercise. Did get in 2 gym, 2 runs. Food was good, I concentrated on getting in my fruits and veggies.

Sounds like you had a good week! My week was fine. I met my initial goal of 30 runs in a row--well, except for missing one day. I ran no less than a mile and no more than 3.5 and did kettlebell/body weight work 3xs. My weight is up a few pounds--not surprising although a little disappointing. Oh well! Hope everyone has a good week!

Well done Kellygirl on achieving the 30 runs in a row!!

Shedev, a good week there.

Only average for me, with no kitchen and a birthday to celebrate food was a little chaotic. I managed three gym sessions and one walk, and lots of house cleaning!!

1 bike, 2 swims, 2 yoga, 2 runs. Not sure what I did, but last Sunday night developped a bit of a sore lower back, so needed to back off a bit at the beginning of the week. There is still a bit of minor discomfort, but nothing that can't be worked through.

Food was good and little by way of gastro issues, but I let myself get dehydrated over the course of the week. Rectified that over the weekend with lots of water, and herbal tea in the pm when the evenings got cool.

It is so nice to be out of doors instead of inside a gym! The yoga instructor says next month he is taking the class outside, to a local beach, for the Saturday am class!

Good week for me. Most of the week post surgical DH wasn't much for eating, so I had small, simple dinners and actually managed to drop a couple of pounds. I also had plenty of time to exercise.

I may try last summer's dresses on this week. That will be the true test of my efforts thus far. After a solid year of diligently sticking to the exercises I wonder if they will fit differently, as in better.

Having made it through the challenge of the last couple of weeks, this week I should have an easier time of it. I haven't been keeping track of steps for several weeks, so I plan on getting that going again.

Well it is ages since I've been on this thread.
I was progressing rather well with running - did 10km last monday until I was off exercise with a cold (funnily enough that happened last time I worked up to a 10km run but I think it is just a coicidence as 1)it is winter here now and 2) DH and DD9 both had one. So I haven't exercised all week.

Weight it NOT good - up about as high as I've every been and not going well with the cold weather appetite!

Great job Kelly girl.

Kiwigal, that sounds like a pretty good week to me.

Runcarla, I'm really enjoying running outside. Yoga at the beach sounds awesome.

Ms Maven, Keeping my fingers crossed for the dress try on.

Anne, weird that you were stalled in the same spot. Time to start fresh.

I've been tracking my food for a month now, and have lost 5 lbs. Makes a huge difference on a short person. 5 more to go. Running with the dogs 5 days a week, two 6.5 mile runs and three 5 mile runs. Weight training one or two days a week - would like to do more. Also need to build up my mileage once a week or every other week until my 1/2 marathon in October - maybe 7 miles in June, 8 in July, 9 in August, 10 in September. I won't make the dogs do all this, will probably bring them back home after a couple miles and go out again on my own.

Hi shedev, at least you got in 2 workouts so good job.

I did well last week. I was down -1.5 lbs. when I weighed in on Monday. I handn't seen a loss in quite some time so I was quite surprised since I splurged all weekend long. I am happy about it though and am motivated to work harder this week.

My challenge is to lose 5-10 lbs by the first week of August, or if not lbs, then inches. I took my measurements on June 1 and will measure again on July 1.

Week 2 - Goals for the week:

M,W,F: StrongLifts, and 3 x 1-minute planks.
M-F: bike to and from work totaling 5.75 miles a day
T, Th: Run 3 - 4 miles
eat veggies and protein, drink lots of water
track all my food
