Happy Easter and Workouts for the week

Happy Easter! Today the gym was closed so we went for a nice long trail walk at the local state park.  It was a bit chilly out but it was nice.  Trail walks are always a bit hard on me but I pushed and made it through.  Here are some pictures I took with my brand new camera.

Day Off

Yesterday and today I did some major house cleaning and I’m acutally taking the next few days off as mom and dad will be in town.  If I do anything it will be a quick in-home workout but I might just take an exercise break while they are here.  We are going to the outlet mall while they are here so I know all that walking will be great!

Sunday-Day Off

I decided to take off from spin class today (Sunday) because I’m feeling worn out plus my shoulder hurts.  Hubby and I discussed things and we might start to take a break from spin on Sunday’s because three days in a row seems to be a bit much.  Although Sun. is one of my favorite classes and I don’t care for Saturday class, it’s just best for now.  We’ll see how it goes.  Except next weekend who knows what we’ll do as we prepare for my parent’s to come into town.  Can’t wait!

I just placed my Amazon birthday order (my b-day is April 1st) and I ordered quite a few workout dvd’s.  Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred, Walk Away the Pounds/Leslie Sansone 5 mile Fat Burning, 5 Day Slim Down and 5 mile Advanced.  Oh my I know those are going to kick my butt.  Have you tried any of these workouts?

How were your workouts this week?

 

Workouts, Lactate Threshold, Desserts

Just a variety of things to write about today.  This weeks workouts were good.  I did something every day which I’m very happy about and did at least 2 strength/core days.  I had to do a lactate threshold spin ride on Monday which you can read more about below my workouts for the week.  And my goal to only have 3 desserts a week is just about accomplished for this week if I can make it through tonight.

For those of you who don’t know the lactate threshold ride basically determines my current cardio age.  This helps me with setting my heart rate monitor to the correct settings.  I was feeling really nautious towards the end of this ride and almost got sick blech.  I had done this once before but definitely didn’t push myself like I did this past Monday.  It was good though because my HR monitor did have to be changed to lower my carido age.  I guess that’s good?  Still trying to learn about all that stuff.

And the winner of my giveaway for the Exercise Anywhere cards is Marie.  Congrats Marie, I have emailed you.

How was your week?

 

Spring Forward, Workouts and Wii

Did you remember the time change?  My day is all off since we had to spring forward.  The day is going by so fast and all I have done was played Wii Mario Kart all weekend with hubby.  It is such a fun game.  We sign on to play with people either worldwide or regional. It’s very cool.  Do you have Wii Mario Kart?  If so, let’s connect.  I’m thinking of getting a Wii Fit but am still undecided.

I set goals last week and didn’t really keep track of what I accomplished.  I did really good in the dessert area but I think I had 4 nights of dessert and not three.  I didn’t do so good with keeping up on strength training either.  We took off from the gym this entire weekend yikes!

Here are my workouts for the week:
