Last Week and the Week Ahead
Last week (5/2 – 5/8) I worked out for 3:35 and burned 1,357 calories. It was mostly walking, running and a couple of strength training sessions with my girl Jackie Warner. I love her workouts because they’re short, tough and you really feel it the next day. I highly recommend the dvd I linked to.
Here were my goals for last week:
1. More yoga. I realized how badly I need to stretch after running this 5k so I want to incorporate more yoga into my workout routine. » Nope, didn’t do this one. I stretched a lot, but no yoga.
2. Pack my lunch every day this week. I’ll share what I pack here even though I usually end up eating the same thing every day. Once I find something I like, I stick to it! » I did this one! I wasn’t lying when I said that once I find something I like I tend to stick with. Every day last week I had some variation of this stir fry with quinoa:
It’s so good, filling and easy to make. You can make a huge batch and eat it all week. It never gets boring to me because I can add different veggies depending on my mood.
So, I got one out of two goals which isn’t too bad. Here are a couple for this week:
1. Take a yoga class at the gym.
2. Wake up at 6:30 every morning and do a quick workout. This is a busy week for me and I won’t have much time in the evening to work out. I’d like to get it out of the way in the morning.
I think those are totally reasonable goals even though I dread mornings, but hopefully having it in writing here will motivate me a bit more!
What are some of your goals for this upcoming week?
Oh I love quinoa! I need to start making my lunch in the beginning of the week so I don’t find myself eating junk when I don’t have a lunch!
Me too.. it’s so good!
Favorite workout DVD evah! Actually, I just finished getting my butt kicked by J Dubb!
I seriously can’t believe how much I sweat during a 30 minute workout! Sheesh!
Way to go on packing your lunch everyday! I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t and *gasp* had to eat hospital cafeteria food! :-/
It’s a crazy workout for sure. I sweat like crazy and can’t lift my arms when it’s over!
I get free lunch in the dining halls on campus, but it’s gotten a little scary as the end of semester approaches so I made the wise decision to brown bag it.
