Readers’ Workouts – 2/28

I made my step goal for the week, thanks to some extra work on Thursday and Saturday.   And my newest badge: This week: Tuesday - Walk with the dog, Pilates Thursday - Walk with dog, 3.4 mile run outside (first time this year) Friday - Walk with dog Saturday - Elliptical Sunday - Pilates Monday - Pilates, weights Meal plan: My meal plan was a disaster this week. Yesterday was kind of fun though. I didn't have a car and told my husband to stop at the store and pick up something to cook for dinner. I figured he's get something easy, because he's not really a recipe kind of guy. Anyway he brought home a variety of ingredients to make something with, a la Chopped, a show I might watch too much. Actually he picked mostly easy ingredients - Chicken breast, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, red wine, egg noodles, bread crumbs, a Milky Way bar, pineapple and pierogies. The pierogies went back in the freezer - one pasta's enough. Of course,...

I did not have a good week this week. I haven't been sleeping well, which makes me drag through the day.

Breakfasts - eggs, blueberry omelet, sweet potato waffles Lunches - sausage, apple, sweet potato hash; taco salad Dinners - sausage and mashed sweet potatoes, ground beef and cabbage, egg roll in a bowl, chicken fingers and veggies, chicken fajitas   New Year Fitness Goals: - Lose weight.

I'm disappointed I didn't make my goal this week. This week: Thursday - Elliptical Saturday - Walk with the dog Monday - Stairclimber and elliptical Meal plan: I totally didn't follow my plan last week. A couple things came up and we ate out or at my mom's more than I though we would. And had left-overs from my mom's the next day. I really have no idea what I'm going to cook this week. Taco salad maybe, something with cabbage, maybe some barbecue chicken. Nothing is sounding particularly delicious.   New Year Fitness Goals: - Lose weight. Goal - Lose 26 lbs. I'm down 1 lb. (141.4 starting weight) - Run 2 5ks, 1 10K and 1 half. Complete - None - Hit my weekly step goal (56,000 steps) for 48 weeks. Weeks completed: 4 How was your week?
