How's it going? Living and Active Week 1

As you know, I started a fitness challenge through Peak313.  So far so good!

Here was my plan from last week:  (I crossed off what I actually did)

M- Shoulders and Abs/ 30 min- eliptical
T- Off
W- Bikini Cardio from ToneItUp
TH- Clare's Crazy Cardio and Ab Routine- I actually ended up not working out that day.  Life got in the way!
F- Chest and Triceps/ 30 min Eliptical- my timing was all off and it ended up raining cats and dogs when I was supposed to go workout. This meant Karena and Katrina's HIIT the Beach 2 at home.  Still a good workout :)
SA- Back and Biceps/ 30 min Eliptical- I actually did my chest and triceps workout instead
SU- Leg Day/ Treadmill Tabata- This ended up being back and biceps from Saturday plus 20 minutes on the stair mill. Holy wow!  That thing is a killer!

Eating-

I've been logging all of my food onto MyFitnessPal.  This week, I want my focus to be on eating enough healthy veggies....less starches.  

Spiritual-  

Memorized Ecclesiasties 4:12....and quoted it all through my workouts.  I've also been keeping up with my daily bible study, which is so helpful and motivating :)

How was your week???

Living and Active!!

I am so excited!  And I'll tell you why....



I love love love Clare.  I found her website through Candace Cameron Bure's website, and immediately bookmarked it.  I read it all the time.  She is a wealth of knowledge regarding fitness and nutrition AND she lives out her faith through her ministry in fitness.  

She has started her 2nd Living and Active 5 week Challenge and I'm participating!!  I love a good challenge.  

**********************************************************************
My plan for this week:

Exercise-  I've been cycling through Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer again.  I love those workouts and love the results I see when I'm weight training.  I plan to continue with those and up my cardio this week.  So my week will look something like this:

M- Shoulders and Abs/ 30 min- eliptical
T- Off
W- Bikini Cardio from ToneItUp
TH- Clare's Crazy Cardio and Ab Routine
F- Chest and Triceps/ 30 min Eliptical
SA- Back and Biceps/ 30 min Eliptical
SU- Leg Day/ Treadmill Tabata

Whew...I'm tired just thinking about it.  BUT, it must be done.  Non-negotiable.

Eating-  I've been keeping track of my calories on My Fitness Pal.  I plan to continue with that, staying in my recommended caloric range each day.  This is the hardest part for me, so I'm interested to see my results from really keeping track.

Spirital- I love that she included this aspect in the challenge. This is the most important part, to me!  My goal is to do my daily bible study each day and work on scripture memory (Soul Food).

Ok....there's the plan.  I'll check back in on Monday!!
