Welcome to the fourth week of the Workout This Fall Challenge! I am so excited to be teaming up with my friend, Tara, from Mommy Head Adventures to bring you a safe, fun place to come link up your goals and find some new accountability friends.
How this challenge works is simple. You commit to workout 3-4 times a week during the months of October, November and December and challenge yourself with new goals so that you can stay away from those extra holiday pounds. With extra Halloween candy, Thanksgiving turkey and Christmas parties, it is our hope that we can help you to avoid the bulge and keep the number down on the scale.
So every Wednesday at 8pm CST, the link will go live and will stay open until the next Tuesday morning. That way you can feel safe to add your posts, comments, etc. whenever you have time. Share your progress photos on Instagram using the hashtag #workoutthisfall where you will find us sharing our watch pictures, Nike Plus app photos and various other exercise ventures. You can also follow us for encouragement as well at mommyhead7 and thecasualcraftlete.
Here is my set up for the coming week.
The Results:
Ok, its confession time. I only worked out three days last week and ate awful. The stress of my Husband’s work schedule got to me and I said to heck with being healthy. NOT GOOD! Lots of sweets and greasy food (I’m getting ready to start). I must try and do better this week.
The Goal:
My goal for the coming week is to eat less sugar and continue to drink more water. I have an upcoming 8 k race on Saturday, so my body needs help in these two areas for better and healthier running results.
The Schedule:
I’ve decided to write my schedule from today (Wednesday) through next Tuesday. It will make things a bit easier for me since I post the challenge on Wednesdays.
- Wednesday: Strength Training with the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD
- Thursday: Run 3 miles
- Friday: Rest or 1 mile
- Saturday: 8 k Race in Pinckeyville
- Sunday: 2 miles
- Monday: 3 miles
- Tuesday: Strength Training with the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD
The Scale:
Here is a look at what the scale showed this morning for my weekly weigh in.
Well I’m up 1.4 pounds this week. No surprise. I haven’t been working out, I’ve been eating poorly and I am getting ready to start my period. Does anyone else gain like 5 pounds that time of month? Anyway, I’m dusting off and getting back on the fitness wagon. Here’s to a new week!
* Also, in addition to my regular workouts I will be added Tara’s November Leg Challenge in too. HERE is the link. I already feel the burn!
Thanks for sharing my November challenge, and yes, I gain 5 pounds when I start. All in all, this past week was a bust for us both, I guess. Lets get back on the wagon and get back to it. We will prevail this fall!
