Hope you’re having a great week! Here’s a look at two challenges I’m participating in at the moment (Click respective links for more info!) So far I am doing pretty well…and am loving the extra motivation!
I took some time off from running after my October Half as I had a pain in my foot that just wouldn’t quit, along with some other reasons, so these challenges came at the perfect time to help me ease back into a routine!
Lets start with #elf4health:
Day 1: Meatless Monday-I started out my day with a smoothie, then had a big-ass salad for lunch and topped off the evening with sushi, margaritas and friends! YUM!
Day 2: Unsubscribe challenge… fail. I DO need to do this.
Day 3: A New Workout: I went for a walk… I realize this isn’t a “new workout,” but it’s different for me.
Day 4: Recommend a good book/blog/podcast: I recommended three: The Best Yes, Sacred Marriage and The Lipstick Gospel.
Day 5: Veggie Smoothie-I didn’t do this. But I recommend Kale or Spinach.
Day 6: Treat Yourself-I headed to the library and picked up some reading material. Easy on the wallet and great for the mind!
Day 7: Meal Prep-Farmer Ben had to work on Thanksgiving so we ended up celebrating on Friday with his fam…. Needless to say, my fridge is still full… so I half did this?
Water Goal: hit daily
Freggie Goal(5-9 servings over fruits and veggies daily): 5 days out of 7… Cant win ’em all!
Monday-2 mile walk at lunch, 1 mile walk with hubby after work and 2 mile run.
Tuesday: Fail
Wednesday: 2 mile walk
Thursday-5 mile run because I slept in instead of turkey trotting.
Friday-Rest day/Turkey day
Saturday-2 mile run at night (I’m such a chicken!)… It was freezing!
Sunday-kind of a rest day. Hubby and I did some mall walking when we had an hour or so to kill… I didn’t count this in my points.
That’s all… What are you doing to stay active this month?
