So this week was pretty bad exercise-wise. We went away for a few days which totally threw me off and then I was tired and busy when we got back and had trouble getting back on track. Then my fit bit broke Saturday afternoon before all our walking, which makes me even less likely to do what I should. I know that's silly but it's true.  And that's why I don't have any steps for Sunday and Monday. They're sending me a replacement, which I hope gets here soon!   This week: Tuesday - 50 high knees, 40 lunges, 40 sec plank Monday - Walk with the dog, Pilates My August Challenge Meal ideas: Turkey Chiles Rellenos Chicken pot pie Mozzarella mini quiches Habanero-Apricot Chicken Sandwiches Chicken and wild rice strudel Baked oatmeal Taco pasta Hawaiian Chicken Year Fitness Goals: - Lose weight.

I'm trying to get back to eating right and exercising. I did a pretty good job this week.

I can't believe it's August. Where has summer gone? I just missed my step goal this week according to the chart, but my fit bit died on Wednesday and I didn't get a chance to recharge it until bedtime, so I'm giving myself some extra credit.   This week: Tuesday - Walk with the dog Thursday - Walk with the dog Saturday - Walk with the dog Monday - Walk with the dog, Pilates I have a fitness Pinterest board and I pinned this plan a while ago. I thought it might be a good one to try for August, although I hate jumping jacks. I may trade jumping jacks for jumping rope. Meal ideas: Pork tenderloin with pierogies Turkey Chiles Rellenos Chicken Tacos Shrimp fried rice Mozzarella mini quiches Flatbread pizza My fish cakes turned out yummy last week. https://www.instagram.com/p/BW_XQqeACz3/?taken-by=carolsnotebook Year Fitness Goals: - Lose weight.

The dog has not been up to as long walks this summer as he is in the spring. I may have to start going on my own or making him take multiple walks in a day.

I'm sorry I'm posting a day late. We were at the lake over the weekend with little to no internet and yesterday just got away from me. I missed my step goal this week, but barely. I think kayaking and fishing should count as more steps than they do.   This week: Saturday - Walk with the dog, Fishing Sunday - Kayaking, Fishing Monday - Walk to the bank I had never been kayaking before; it was fun. These are a few photos my brother-in-law took. Meal ideas: Pork tenderloin with kiwi pineapple salsa (I posted a photo on my instagram.) Mexican corn salad with black beans Teriyaki broccoli and mushrooms Carolina barbecue pork tenderloin with apple slaw Fried mushroom sub Year Fitness Goals: - Lose weight. Goal - Lose 26 lbs. - Run 2 5ks, 1 10K and 1 half. Completed - 1 10K; 1 5K - Hit my weekly step goal (56,000 steps) for 48 weeks. Weeks completed: 22 How was your week?
