Readers’ Workouts – 10/18

Here are my steps for the week. At least I hit my goal 3 of the days. That's way better than last week.   My current plan is to do cardio on Tuesday (60 mins), upper body on Wednesday, cardio on Thursday (60 mins), a total body workout on Friday, cardio on Saturday (60+ mins), and a core workout on Monday. I'm also trying to do a 10 minute-ish Pilates workout each day. Tuesday - 45 mins cardio (video) Wednesday - 15 min arms Sunday - Nature walk Monday - Walk with the dog, walk on the trail I usually listen to a book while I’m walking, jogging, whatever. This week I started Bangkok Tattoo by John Burdett. I'm challenging myself to eat no junk food, but we went to a football game on Friday and away for the weekend with friends. Who can pass up junk food at the game or smores around the fire? How was your week? Readers’ Workouts is hosted by Joy at Joy’s Book Blog...

Readers’ Workouts – 10/11

Here are my steps for the week. I did really lousy this week.   My current plan is to do cardio on Tuesday (60 mins), upper body on Wednesday, cardio on Thursday (60 mins), a total body workout on Friday, cardio on Saturday (60+ mins), and a core workout on Monday. I'm also trying to do a 10 minute-ish Pilates workout each day. None of which I did this week. Any advice on getting back on track? Saturday -  Dance class Sunday - Walk with the dog Monday - Walk with the dog I usually listen to a book while I’m walking, jogging, whatever. This week I'm not listening to anything- that might be part of my problem. I'm challenging myself to eat no junk food, but apparently I have no self control. I only got three stars this week. :( How was your week? Readers’ Workouts is hosted by Joy at Joy’s Book Blog ....

I should have done a better job training than I did and the heat didn't help. But I finished and that's what counts, at least for me. I like the long sleeve tech shirt they gave out this year.
