Welcome to the second 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:
My goal last week was to find a half marathon training plan. Tara shared hers with me and I modified to fit my schedule. I’m not gonna lie, last week was really hard for me to workout. My husband has been working 15 hour days leaving me to take care of the house, dogs and our 2 year toddler. I’ve been exhausted but I got it done. It wasn’t easy but I did it anyway.
The Goal:
My goal for the coming week is to drink more water. Now that the temperature has cooled off a bit, I’ve not been drinking as much. I need to drink at least eight 8 oz glasses or 64 oz of water per day.
The Schedule:
My schedule will be Monday through Sunday. So, when I share my schedule for the coming week, it will follow that format.
- Monday: Run 3 miles
- Tuesday: Strength Training with the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD
- Wednesday: Run 3 miles
- Thursday: Strength Training with the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD
- Friday: REST
- Saturday: Run 4 miles
- Sunday: Run 2 miles
The Scale:
Here is a look at what the scale showed this morning for my weekly weigh in.
Well, I’m down .6 pounds this week. I knew it wasn’t going to be a huge number since I lost almost 4 pounds last week. The number is still going down and I’m going to keep on training for my half marathon.
How do you deal with stress?
NOW TIME TO LINK UP!
That is awesome! I am so glad you found a plan you like. You are going to rock this. Now, I need to start thinking about a plan for after my training ends next week!
