Just wanted to do a quick check in and say I am healthy once again and back to working out! I’m so excited.  Today was the 1st day back to the gym in 3 weeks and it was nice.  Went to spin class and burned a wonderful 654 calories in 1 hr. 5 min. Last night I had what felt like a pulled muscle in my back doing dishes and I was so bummed.  I did not want to miss spin so when I woke up this morning and was in total pain we whipped out the heating pad and I slept on that for about an hour and we were off to the gym.  I did good and although it still hurts a bit I am going back tomorrow to start running again. YEA!

Will keep ya’ll updated on how the week goes.  It’s been a crazy week with traveling back and forth to downtown Chicago for doc visits with my stepdaughter.  She flew back home this weekend and posting might be intermittent for the next few weeks as she will fly back in town for more doc visits, procedures and surgery.  It will be busy and I’ll most likely be traveling to and from the city quite a bit.  If you are so inclined, please do keep her in  your prayers! It would be much appreciated.

How did your workouts go this past week?

Oh boy workouts this week were a dud.  I got in ONE day and that’s it. Got sick and it has only gotten worse.  Looks like this week will not be much better. Hubby has pneumonia and I am trying to keep it at bay but boy the coughing and breathing is not going well plus I have a fever off and on.  I am sure bummed because this would have been my 5th week running. I should have known by the struggle I had on the treadmill Monday that I was getting sick.

But I am just going to try to get better.  Lots of rest this week!

So here are the stats for the one day that I did work out.

Monday-

*Treadmill
Time: 46 min.
Miles: 2.53 (7-one minute intervals and 1-one minute 15 interval)
Calories burned: 500

I was struggling with the running so at the end I bumped it up to incline 6 and walked that way for about 5 min.

Tuesday-Sunday nada

So there you have a very short update.  Hope everyone else did well with workouts this past week.

What are your plans for the coming week?

I honestly don’t have any until I get better but I am itching to get back to the gym for spin and running.  Did you ever think I would say that? LOL

Have a great week,

 

Kev and I worked out this morning (spin class and weights) and then we ran errands and shopped our hearts out.  Also went to one of our favorite mom and pop restaurants, Liberty in Libertyville, IL.  It is always soooo good!  We have been watching the Olympics all weekend and I forsee the whole week consisting of that.

Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Here are my workouts for the week and it was a pretty lame week.  I know I can do so much better.  I keep thinking that I don’t want to overdo it especially since I’m just starting out running but I feel like I’m hardly getting anywhere.  Gotta really look at my schedule and see what I can do.

This weeks workouts are nothing to write home about.  I just realized that I only worked out TWO times this week. That is horrible!  I really have no excuses other than I was so exhausted all week but moving on……

I know this workout log is quite late.  I was away on a business trip and have been so exhausted since I have been home. Trying to get back into the swing of things but still wanted to share my workouts.  I worked out twice at the hotel while on the business trip and it was OK.  The treadmills at the hotel were not very good but I hopped on anyway. Next time, I’ll try the bikes too!
