My monthly check in stats are down below under Friday’s workouts.  It was a pretty good month but I sure hope to blow those numbers out of the water with my Sept. check in.  I have a long way to go but I am starting to feel really good and know that I can do it.  This weeks workouts were decent but I know I can do better.

Monday-

*Elliptical
Time: 10 min.
Miles: .82

*Personal training (legs/core)
Time: 30 min.

*Spin class
Time: 60 min.

Tuesday- Day off

Wednesday-

*Spin class
Time: 60 min.

Thursday- Day off

Friday-

*Elliptical
Time: 7 min.

*Personal training (upper body)
Time: 30 min.

*Treadmill
Time: 30 min.

I covered up the treadmill screen with all the numbers so I really don’t know how many miles were done (maybe 1.54?)  Today was the best day running yet and I tried something new.  Instead of focusing on the time (run 2 minutes/walk 3 minutes) I tried to make it through an entire song before even thinking of giving myself a chance to stop and with a total of 11 minutes speed walking I was able to run to THREE songs in 30 min. for a total of 9:11.  Of course that wasn’t all in a row but I’m going to get there!  If you haven’t read and/or commented on my Decisions, Decisions post, I would love some feedback.

I also had my monthly weigh in and measurements and hooray I lost 8.5 inches overall and lost 4 lbs.  My body fat % did not go down this month (boo) but I am going to work on that.

Saturday-

*Mow lawn
Time: 1 hour

Sunday-

*Treadmill
Time: 13 min.
Miles: .79

I ran to 1 full song and 1/2 of two other songs (again not in a row, had to stop and walk some).  I am feeling better about the running so we will see how it goes.

*Spin class
Time: 1 hour

Good week I would say!  This week I have plans to workout hard M-W and then I’m traveling and hope to get in some running or some type of workout while I’m gone.  I’ll miss only 1 spin class while I’m gone so that is good.  Then when I get back watch out.  I’m actually thinking of joining hubby again in mat Pilates because even though I don’t care for that type of Pilates, I need to work my core big time and I do like the instructor so hopefully I’ll have a change of heart once I start going on a weekly basis and seeing changes.

How did your workouts go this week?
