Fitness Friday (& July Recap/August Goals)

It seems like lately, all I have time to write for is Weigh in Wednesday and Fitness Friday. I think that's possibly because the time I usually use to blog (evenings) I've been using for my fitness time. I've tried to do some blogging from my phone, but it's really distracting. I have a terrible plan  new idea to get out my iPad which I don't usually use because our WiFi sucks bad, and use it to blog on. We shall see how that goes.

Moving on to Fitness Friday with ALG, Uninterrupted!

This week I got in two 5K runs. I was a little slower on my second one because the boards on the boardwalk were wet, and very slippery in places. I moved up in my C25K program who am I kidding, I modify my C25K so much now, it's hardly the real program. Also, I have no plans to ever run 20 minutes without stopping to walk a bit. Maybe that's for some people, but I can't really see it being for me. After talking to some really experienced runners, I've decided to probably do what they do and stop every 10 minutes or so for a minute or so to walk. So, I should say that I have moved up to running 5 and 6 minute intervals, with 3 minute walks in between. I was doing 3 and 5 minute intervals with 2 minute walks, but I decided to challenge myself one day to run for the 5 minutes and the 2 minute walk time, and I did it no problem. I'm going to keep running the 5 and 6 minutes for a bit, then probably bump myself up to 5 and 8 minutes. I wish there was a way to customize my app instead of going in every time and modifying it to what I want to do. Oh well.

I've done a few PiYo workouts this week too. I want to say it's going well with PiYo, but my left wrist kills half the time I'm doing it. I hope that it's getting stronger!! It's frustrating to be in pain while trying to work out.

I wanted to look back at my goals for July today as well.

1. Drink at least 90 oz of water a day. Not Quite. 

I drank 90 oz about 95% of the time, but I know there were a couple of days where I didn't quite make it. I can get 80-85 oz without too much trouble. I'm working on it!

2. Move at least 30 minutes a day.  Nailed it!! 

I can't even believe it, but I did it. I did a variety of things, such as walking, running, PiYo, and even hitting balls at the driving range! I'm super proud of myself! I'm actually continuing this one because we're doing a challenge at work for the month of August. I'm gonna win too!

3. Log at least 10 000 steps per day on my FitBit.  Nailed it!

I know I got 10 000 steps every day in July, but you're going to have to take my word for it because on July 15th my Fitbit died and I had to recharge it. I think it was the first time that it ever went completely dead. Totally my fault, as I should have charged it the night before, but I didn't notice.

New goals for August! 

1. Drink at least 90 oz of water a day.

This time I'm going to do it!!

2. Move at least 30 mins a day, win the challenge at work! ;)

There's money on it this time! It's ON!

3. Get through our family vacation without #eatingallthefood

It's going to be hard. We're going to Moncton for the weekend. We're taking Harper to the zoo and to Magic Mountain there, which is a water park.

That's it for this month! I hope everyone has a great weekend!
