I am not happy how the week went as far as workouts but sometimes you just have to deal with it.  I have been in a lot of pain over the last few months with a broken tooth which has been infected.  Anyway, long story short, I finally found a dentist who was willing to work with me (I have no health insurance) and although everything I need worked on in my mouth will cost about $7600 OUCH, the most important is the extraction of that one tooth THIS WEEK.  So Thursday is my lucky day and although I’m not looking forward to it I will be so happy when it’s out because the constant pain will be gone once it heals.  It’s SIX WEEKS healing time but I’m hoping I’m only down for a day or two after.

With all of this going on, my workouts have gone down hill and I’m ready to bring them back to life!  Working on pumping up both exercise balls with air and looking at my workout goals through November.

Happy Fall Ya’ll!  It feels and is starting to look like Fall and although I don’t like the cold weather it does bring us that much closer to our Jamaican vacation.  Oh my it’s so close!  On Saturday we enjoyed a morning at the Moraine Hills State park taking pictures of the changing leaves, so pretty.

Of course, Kev got much better pictures but I figured I would share one of mine!

I plan to make this week much better when it comes to exercise.  We have decided to take Saturday’s off from spin class for now but we still have M, W and Sun. classes so I think that’s good.

Goals for this week:

3 days gym (Cardio, Spin class, etc.) M, W, Sun
2 days in-home workouts

How did you do last week?  And what are your exercise goals for this week?

 

So the week started out good but went downhill as far as workouts go.  I feel bad that I did not get any exercise in from Thursday-Sunday but I think I’ll be ready for this coming week.  My plan for Thursday was to take the day off because I totally overdid my lower body strength training at the gym Wed. night but I was still in so much pain on Friday that I took that day off too.  Thought I could make up 8 miles of in home walking over the weekend but that didn’t happen.  We missed spin class on Saturday due to taking our Basset Hound who has been quite sick to the vet and spent almost 5 hours there.  Before we left though I opened the truck door on my knee (oh my gosh did that hurt bad and I cried like a baby) and it ballooned up like crazy and is bruised.  It still hurt pretty bad this morning so Kev went to spin class alone while I stayed home to heal and take care of our sick dog.

The story of my life!  ha ha  I sure hope this week turns out better and I can meet my goals.

How did your workouts go this week?

 

Hit my goal for 15 in-home walking miles again this week AND I did the 3 days of strength training I set out to do.  YEA!  I am feeling good as far as exercise goes but on the food front, not so good.  Not sure what is going on with me but I have to be more cautious  and watch what I choose to eat and how much. It’s such a constant struggle but I know I can do it. Would love to have a nutritionist and personal trainer to make my life complete ha ha

Here are my workouts for the week.
