Weekly Chase #4


Oh what a week it has been.  I didn't do any blogging at all last week and I'm sadden that I missed a weekly chase.  I appreciate you guys reading this because it keeps me accountable.  Otherwise, things have gotten so busy, I might just stop being accountable all together.

So let's look at the goals from two weeks ago...

  • Complete week two of Camp Gladiator.  This will only be complete if I go 4 days. - Completed!  Both weeks two and three of Camp Gladiator are complete.  I am loving this workout and plan to continue to go.  This is the final week for this session and there there is an off week before the next session. 
  • Complete 5 mile run on Saturday - Failed.  I only completed about 2.5 miles.  My legs were super tired. 
  • Continue to track all of my food for the week - Completed but I've decided that it's not just about tracking but paying attention to what I'm eating and making better choices.  This goal will evolve.  I was talking to my CG trainer and he suggested that I incorporate much more protein into my food intake.  He made a breakfast suggestion I'm going to try this week. 
  • Get caught up on the blog.  I have two race recaps and a Universal Mardi Gras review to get posted and I'm hoping to get that done this week. BIG FAT FAIL!!  Not only did I not get caught up, I completely missed last week's The Weekly Chase.  I must work on this.  It's number one priority at this point.

Here are the goals for this week....

  • Complete the final week of my first Camp Gladiator session
  • Complete both the Shark Tooth 10 and the Iron Girl 5k this weekend
  • Post race recaps for both races along with the 13th Annual Bolt Run
  • Incorporate more protein into my food intake - making my nutrition 40% carbs, 40% protein and 20% fat as suggested by my CG trainer

What are your goals this week?  Are you staying accountable?  What keeps you accountable to your goals?

The Weekly Chase #3


Another week down.  Can you guys believe that we are almost done with March already?  Where is the time going?   So how is everyone doing with their goals this week?

These were my goals for last week.

  • Complete week one of Camp Gladiator.  I'm loving this new workout and I'm super glad that my friend Liz got me started doing this. - week one complete!  and let me tell you guys I'm loving this class!  It's fun but super challenging.  I'll do a full review soon.

  • Complete a 7 mile run at Flatwoods on Saturday - Complete!  It was slow but we got it done.  Hubby, daughter and I all went.  We learned a valuable lesson too - it's getting hot in Florida, so we must get up early to do longer runs on Saturday.  I'm hoping this becomes a weekly habit for us.

  • Continue to track all of my food for the week - Complete!  This was easier this week without the trip to Epcot.  

So for next week, we are keeping it simple. 

  • Complete week two of Camp Gladiator.  This will only be complete if I go 4 days.
  • Complete 5 mile run on Saturday
  • Continue to track all of my food for the week
  • Get caught up on the blog.  I have two race recaps and a Universal Mardi Gras review to get posted and I'm hoping to get that done this week.
On the weight front, I lost a pound.  I'm half way to my goal.

What are your goals for this week?  How are you tracking your goals?

The Weekly Chase #2



Sorry this post is so late, it has been a super busy week.  I started a new workout, Camp Gladiator, and it's keeping me busy.  Add to that a Lightning Hockey game and my daughter's softball game last night and it has been non stop.

So let's see how I did with last week goals;

  • Complete week 3 of the Couch to 5k app. I restarted this program after completing the Princess to increase my run intervals in the hope of one day running an entire 5k. - Not complete. Only did 2 of the 3 days but I did run a 5 mile race on Saturday.  This will be put on hold for a bit while I do Camp Gladiator. 
  •  
  • Complete the 13th Annual Bolt Run on Saturday in under 1 hour 15 minutes - Achieved! and ROCKED it!  I finished with a great for me time.  I'll be doing a full recap later this week.
  •  
  • Track of all my foods for the week.  - Not complete.  I did pretty well except on Saturday when we went to the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot where we ate samples at the kiosks.  It was too hard to keep track.

The goals for this week are....

  • Complete week one of Camp Gladiator.  I'm loving this new workout and I'm super glad that my friend Liz got me started doing this.
  • Complete a 7 mile run at Flatwoods on Saturday
  • Continue to track all of my food for the week

What are your goals this week?  How did you do with your goals last week?

The Weekly Chase #1


 
 
The best part of the blogging community is the support we receive from each other.  Whether is simply by reading our crazy thoughts or at races or encouragement in our daily struggles.
 
I've been reading Mindy's blog, Road Runner Girl, for several months now and I'm embarrased that I had not noticed this before.  Mindy and Molly are the hosts for this wonderful idea of accountability and support.  You can read all about it here.
 
So here are my goals for this week;
 
  • Complete week 3 of the Couch to 5k app. I restarted this program after completing the Princess to increase my run intervals in the hope of one day running an entire 5k.
  •  
  • Complete the 13th Annual Bolt Run on Saturday in under 1 hour 15 minutes
  •  
  • Track of all my foods for the week
