Daily Workout Thread - Monday May 8

[akw94]

Well, I know it''s late but didn''t see another thread posted and didn''t want us to go a day w/o one.

As for my update...
I finished my 5th workout day on Saturday. Yay! I am pretty happy that I got in 5 days b/c working out on the weekends is generally something I don''t do. I am feeling much better about getting my workouts in. With that said, my eating wasn''t great this weekend or TODAY. I had a huge amount of chinese + cake for lunch since it was someone''s bday. Not so good but i''m not too worried. Of course, the scale said I lost .6 lbs this past week and I probably just gained that + a bunch back. But it was good and I probably should feel bad but don''t.
I actually didn''t do as terrible as I could''ve this weekend since I made myself not eat when going to a festival with my son. I also had fruit salad w/yogurt for lunch on Sunday since I went out to dinner on Saturday.

So that''s my weekend. I will be working out this evening for sure!!

How''s everyone else?

Today and this weekend have been a total wash. No exercising, pretty bad eating. But ya know, I''m not too concerned- I''ve been too busy cuddling and playing with my new puppy! We brought him home on Saturday and I took today off work to take him to the vet. He''s a black labradoodle (half lab, half poodle) and he''s SO sweet! I love him so much. Hopefully I''ll be able to get some exercise in this week, although I can''t take him with me since he''s only 9 weeks old- we''ll have to wait a bit before he can join in the morning walks.

Hope y''all have a good week!

Good job Dixie! I''m glad you are still doing well and made an effort to eat as well as possible at the festival. It''s hard to resist temptation--you deserve a big pat on the back! The better you do in those situations, the happier you can be about indulging once in a while, like Chinese food and cake, lol!

Sarfar, I bet your puppy is so cute! My SIL has a blond (?) labradoodle named Jimmy, and he is adorable, but huge!!! I can''t believe how big he is--he''s larger than their golden retriever, and I thought she was a big dog! Have fun with your new pup--you can get exercise walking him now, and playing with him as well. I play tug-of-war with my 30 lb. dog and you''d be surprised at the workout it gives the old arms!

Well, I walked 18 miles Saturday! I have some nice blisters underneath the callouses on my little toes, how weird is that? I need to start bringing extra sox now so that doesn''t happen again. I thought I was going to drop dead by the time I got back home, but I took a two hour nap and was ok, with the help of some ibuprofen! I''m finding it easier to do all the miles now that I''ve built up some endurance, so I feel pretty confident that if I keep training hard the rest of the month I will make it the whole 39 miles the weekend of the event.

I have to rest my blisters for a couple of days, but I think I''ll attempt to doctor them up tomorrow and go for a 5 mile walk after work. Wish me luck in healing quickly!
