Ever used a Bosu ball? This balance trainer is the most amazing thing and you can do so much with it. You have to check it out!
I was traveling a bit this week and am very impressed that I kept up with some workouts while I was gone. I’m home now and I think I did a bit too much on Sat. as my calves are hurting really bad but hopefully I can get the pain to lessen in a few days. On to my workouts for last week…..
Happy 4th of July! Hope you had a great day!

Kev and I went away to visit my parent’s in Indiana for the holiday and workouts just didn’t happen. I had full intentions of running but I didn’t make it happen. I am ready to get back to the gym and will be heading back for personal training and running on Tuesday. I feel I had a pretty good week although I did struggle a bit with running. Soon it will be time for my 2nd weigh in and measurements at the gym so I hope to see more success.
How did your workouts go this week? We want to hear all about them!

Not happy with the gym at this time because once again they have an issue with the air in the spin class room. And the issue was there is NO AIR! Geesh…not fun at all.
Thursday- Day off
Friday-
*Treadmill w/hand weights (warm up)
Time: 12 min.
*Personal training (upper body/abs/core)

Absolutely awesome workout! I asked Karen if we could work on some ab stuff and although it was tough, it was a fabulous workout and I can’t wait to do more.
Saturday- Day off
Sunday-
*Spin class
Time: 1 hr.
Once again, NO AIR in the spin class and I’m just a tad irritated with L.A. Fitness. I mean I love the gym overall but this stuff seems to happen too often. Plus they have bikes, treadmills, etc. that need fixing and for the price we pay I expect these things to be taken care of and not left for weeks and even MONTHS at a time.
Exhausting week but I feel good and I’m ready to start a new week. I have a few personal training sessions this week so I’m excited about that but I’m not sure how other workouts will go. I do know that I’m not going to go back to Pilates but am going to look at the gym class schedule to see what else I might try in July. We’ll see!
How did your workouts go this week? Please share!
OK so last week I dropped the bomb on posting my workouts and now we are a week behind but I wanted to give you a total update on everything going on so you’ll see all workouts below from the week before and this past week. Things are getting better….I had been sick for a bit after an ear infection, I got bells palsy which was pretty annoying and it’s been a challenge to get through the past two weeks with the addition of having to put our 18 year old cat down the same day it all started.
But I’m happy to say that I am starting to feel better although there are some things that I’m struggling with when it comes to running. My cardiac numbers are apparently too high and I need to get some things checked. I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to run the 1/2 marathon at this point BUT I am going to see if I can walk it. If not, I might have to ultimately downgrade to the 10K. I’m not sure how I feel about this because I committed to doing it but I guess if there are health issues I can’t push it. I’ll keep you updated!
So below you’ll see all recent workouts.
…..didn’t end so well. I kicked butt the 1st two days but got a massive ear infection that took me down for the remainder of the week and I am still feeling pretty bad. I have truly missed the gym and working out this week. It’s like I get going really good and then something happens. It’s been a challenge for sure. I am going to personal training tomorrow no matter what but I’ll have to take it easy. Other than that nothing much else is going on except I’m sure soon I’ll have to be making a decision about my elderly cat. She hasn’t been doing well and you know how the rest goes. She is such a sweetie, it’s really sad.
On to my workouts for the week, so exciting ha ha
This week I was able to do one day of my Turbo Jam
So here are my workouts for the week. Not too bad but definitely could be better.
