Welcome to the seventh week of the Workout This Fall Challenge! We are just a little over half way done with the challenge! That went by real quick. 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 write everything down in My Fitness Pal and to not eat chocolate. Well, I didn’t do my challenge at all 🙁 Life and stress just got in the way.
The Goal:
My goal for the coming week is to not snack after dinner. I do really good eating healthy during the day, but when nighttime hits I want to eat the whole house!
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: Run 4 miles
- Thursday: Strength Training with the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD
- Friday: REST
- Saturday: Run 6 miles
- Sunday: Run 3 miles
- Monday: Run 5 miles
- Tuesday: Strength Training with the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD
*In addition to my schedule I will be add in Tara’s Extra 30 November Challenge. Have you been joining along? I was really sore the first three days of doing this challenge but I can totally tell a difference. It’s working!
The Scale:
Here is a look at what the scale showed this morning for my weekly weigh in.
No surprise that I am up 1.8 pounds this week. I ate out at least three times last week and just did not eat healthy.
*MAKE SURE TO CHECK BACK NEXT WEEK. I HAVE AN EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT TO SHARE!
I didn’t do well with my challenge last week either, but we will get it this week! You are doing so well and I am so honored to be doing this challenge with you.
Keep up the running and working out and we will both get results.
And I don’t do surprises well! Tell me tell me!;)
