Welcome to the eleventh week of the Workout This Fall Challenge! I am so excited to be teaming up with my friend, Tara, from Mommy Head Adventures to bring you a safe, fun place to come link up your goals and find some new accountability friends.
How this challenge works is simple. You commit to workout 3-4 times a week during the months of October, November and December and challenge yourself with new goals so that you can stay away from those extra holiday pounds. With extra Halloween candy, Thanksgiving turkey and Christmas parties, it is our hope that we can help you to avoid the bulge and keep the number down on the scale.
So every Wednesday at 8pm CST, the link will go live and will stay open until the next Tuesday morning. That way you can feel safe to add your posts, comments, etc. whenever you have time. Share your progress photos on Instagram using the hashtag #workoutthisfall where you will find us sharing our watch pictures, Nike Plus app photos and various other exercise ventures. You can also follow us for encouragement as well at mommyhead7 and thecasualcraftlete.
Here is my set up for the coming week.
The Results: I am still struggling with writing down everything I eat but when I do the results are great. We had almost one foot of snow where I live and didn’t get to run over the weekend. I will just continue with my half marathon training schedule for this week.
The Goal: My goal for the coming week is to continue to do MFP and train.
The Schedule: I’ve decided to write my schedule from today (Wednesday) through next Tuesday. It will make things a bit easier for me since I post the challenge on Wednesdays.
- Wednesday: Strength Training with 30 Day Shred DVD
- Thursday: Strength Training with 30 Day Shred DVD
- Friday: Run 4-5 miles
- Saturday: Run 8 miles
- Sunday: Run 3-4 miles
- Monday: Rest
- Tuesday: Run 6 miles
*In addition to my schedule I will be adding in my 25 Christmas Crunches which are:
- 25 crunches
- 25 reverse crunches
- 25 bicycle crunches
- at least a 25 sec plank
The Scale:
There’s just one week left of the Challenge! Let’s finish strong!!!
Only 1 week left! Can you believe it?!
I am so proud of you and how you are doing with your challenge and training. Question… Is there a way to challenge each other on MFP? I am thinking I might like to see what we could do to challenge each other there. I have been thinking the last few days while I have been sick about really making tracking a major part of my new years resolution if you will.
Keep up the good work and lets crush it this week!
