Started the week off with a run, but it all went down hill from there. I could spew out 100000 excuses, but it simply came down to working out not being a high enough priority. Happens. Not the end of the world.

Pretty good week! Lots of walks, which is always a good thing in the fall when the weather is just perfect and the leaves just start turning. I'm trying to get out everyday for a walk to cherish this weather while it's here before we get smacked with like 12 feet of snow. Let's not even think about that yet. :)

I'm back!! And, starting the week with a run was great! Unfortunately, running 2 days in a row (Saturday and Sunday) left my hamstrings really tight. But, it still felt great. I'm still feeling a little under the weather... this damn cough just won't quit! But, I feel well enough to workout again, so that's great. Sadly, every time I take a week plus off, I feel like I'm starting from ground zero, which I know is crap, but it's what it feels like! Ugh. Oh well. Gotta get back into it to move off ground zero!

Meh. I'll be honest. This week I felt like I was kinda "phoning it in" as Jillian says, especially the first half of the week. I halfassed some of the workouts, only giving it minimal effort. I could blame it on Bailey going through some sorta mini-sleep regression. I could blame it on being tired. I could blame it on crappy weather. I could blame it on about a gazillion things, but truth is- I just wasn't feeling it. I still DID it... just didn't give it 100%. Although I did RUN! Yep. A whooping 3 miles. Woah. More on the running later. Anyway- hopefully it's just a little slump and this week I'll be back at it, full force.

Sunday, 6/15: None

Monday, 6/16: Bob Harper's 45-minute "Beginner's Weight Loss Transformation"

Tuesday, 6/17: 1.5 mile walk

Wednesday, 6/18: JM30DS 

Thursday, 6/19: JM30DS 

Friday, 6/20: Bob Harper's 45-minute "Beginner's Weight Loss Transformation"

Saturday, 6/21: 25 minutes of Bob Harpers DVD & 3+ hours of intense yard work (and I do mean intense... shoveling, mulching, moving logs, etc.)

I feel like I'm getting into a pretty solid routine and workouts are becoming the norm, not the "if I have time". It's definitely helpful that Bailey is becoming a pretty consistent napper and we have a good schedule down for the most part. Certainly not perfect, but decent. Not a ton of walks this week-- mother nature was pretty ragey and had thunderstorms on and off all week. Get it together, Mother Nature.

I'm pretty proud of this week. It was a stressful week for me with some personal stuff going on and I had a lot of errands and such to do so I kinda went into the week thinking I'd be lucky if I got a few walks in (What-- you don't lay in bed on Sunday night thinking about when/how/what your weeks workouts are going to look like? No? Just me? Huh. Interesting.). I'm proud that I didn't let a stressful or busy week deter me and I still got a solid workout in on most days (though I hardly got any walks in... darn rain!). I'm a firm believer that we're almost never "too busy"--- we just choose to spend our time doing something else (whether that's sleep or work or family or whatever, which are all EXCELLENT choices of things to spend our time on). I've certainly chosen to spend my time on other things and used the "I'm too busy" excuse a lot, but I'm happy this week I sucked it up and made it work. One bonus point for me!

Pretty good week! The Hubs and I are trying to get back into our groove of going for walks after work. It's tougher with Baileybug, as we have her bedtime to think of and such so definitely not going for any 4+ milers, but trying to go for a couple miles most nights. It's such good family bonding time! Plus, I really do want Bailey to grow up thinking going for walks and being active and such is just NORMAL. It's just what our family does. Like eating. Or sleeping. It's just a normal, no-big-deal, daily activity.

Other than walks, I tried to get some sort of strength done each day and did pretty good! I'd love, love, LOVE to get some jogging stroller runs back in, but by the time B and I can get out in the morning (after nursing and solids and nap 1 and like 12 diaper changes, etc.) it's too hot now! Yes, I just complained about heat even after the polar vortex winter we had. Bleah. I'm thinking of adjusting B's schedule soon so we'll see if that helps or makes it even more impossible. Time will tell! Til then, running will just be a do-it-when-I-can kinda thing. I'm sure if I really, really wanted to, I could cut the excuses and just make it work. For now, I'm 100% OK and enjoying walks and home workouts. To me, working out is something I ENJOY and do for FUN. Right now, walks and home workouts are that. Tomorrow, running maybe that and I'll run then. I'm a firm believer in doing what you WANT to do so it doesn't feel like torture.

Lazy blogger, right here. It's pretty hard to ignore that you've slacked on the blogging front all week when you have back to back weekly recap posts. WHOOPS. I'll try to do better this week. No promises though! :)

Not the greatest week, but proud that I'm managing to do SOMETHING most days. Still trying to learn and accept that I can't do something everything and that some days something little, like 8MA8MA, is just going to have to do. It's I'm a work in progress.

And, um-- I suppose a special shout out should go for that half marathon thing on Saturday. Wait-- whaaaat??? Still not sure how exactly that happened. Recap coming soon.
