Call for Miles | Week 5

It's been a full month of this challenge. How's it going? Are you a third of the way to your goal? Do you need to change anything to reach your goal? 

I had a good week...nothing like the pressure of a impending race to get you moving. I'm participating in my town's annual 6.7 mile walk this week so I made sure to get out walking. A friend also convinced me to get to the gym for a tough water aerobics class. 

How was your week? Any frustrations? Any successes? Leave a comment with your miles, and go get 'em this week! Happy sweating!

I struggled this week. We were busy and I let that get in the way of my exercise. I’m not giving up though! How about you? How was your week? Share with us and go get ‘em this week!

It’s the end of week 3 (Happy Easter, everyone!). How was your week? What were your challenges? What were your triumphs? How many miles did you get? What are your goals for this week?

Good luck this week!

Happy Easter!

I saw this on the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans FB page, and had to share.

What are you weekend goals? How are going to keep from eating too much of the kid’s Easter candy?

My weekend plans include a long walk as part of training for a race in three weeks. Sunday will be a rest day in my training schedule. As far as the Easter candy…I plan to chew a lot of gum!

Happy sweating!

It’s the end of week two. How was your week?

I started strong, but kind of fizzled. We had a super-busy week. Luckily, this week shouldn’t be as busy and my walking partner is back in town after a week in Florida. It’s amazing how motivating a friend is. :)

Leave me a comment with your miles for the week. Go get em this week!

Happy sweating!

Reasons

{source}

A few years ago I was at a women’s meeting for my church and we had a doctor there to answer any questions that we had. One thing he said that really stuck with me was this:

“Don’t exercise to lose weight. Because, then if it doesn’t work, you will quit. Exercise to be healthy.”

Of course, I hope to lose weight when I exercise, but I continue to exercise because I know how much better I feel when I exercise. I have more energy, my mind is clearer, the mood is happier and I have more self-control.

Take a look at this list of 50 reasons, and tell me: Which are your top 5?

Mine are #’s: 5, 7, 17, 24 & 34.

Our weeks are running a bit different this time, so today (Sunday) is the last day of week 1. It was a short week (we started Tuesday), but hopefully you were able to get out and do something to make you sweat.

How was your week? What were your successes and or challenges? Share in the comments and good luck this week!

Happy sweating!
