A blur of a week...

Where in the world did this week go? It's all a blur in my mind.

Unfortunately I didn't spend much time in the gym this week. I took a boot camp class on Monday night....first time. It was a good workout and I enjoyed it to an extent, however I apparently pushed myself too hard doing things I probably should not have been doing (burpees, jumping jacks, lunges, to name a few) I did something to my knee. Ouch! I have a history of knee issues from my teen years on the softball field. This is the first time in my year+ of working out pretty darn hard that I had any issues with them so it doesn't take a genius to see that I overdid it. I actually took 3 days off from exercise. A first for me! I was successful at keeping my calories in check and my Friday weigh-in showed me 2.4 pounds LESS than last Friday! Today I did an upper body workout with my trainer and tomorrow I plan on getting in a lil cardio. My focus this week has been getting my knee ready for biking on Sunday. It's supposed to be the first beautiful day all week and I have a bike date to ride the trail that goes through the Valley Forge area. We are hoping for 20+ miles!

I constantly tell myself I want to start blogging regularly, however life is just a little too chaotic, so I'll do my best. I really love connecting with the blog world and hope to connect with more people that have similar healthy lifestyle goals.

Tonight was a fun and special night. We had a night out with my 4 year old son. The 2 yo stayed home with the sitter. We went to dinner at a quaint little Italian place in Wilmington and then took him to see Stomp! He did pretty darn good for a little guy. It was a good time.

I'm beat...tomorrow is another busy one....the entire weekend is packed. The next couple week are going to be challenging for a healthly lifestyle. I am mentally preparing myself...I'll keep you posted.

In the meantime, here are a couple good things to click on....

  1. Hope the scale stay cooperative for you and that you didn't hurt your knee too bad. I did that with my back earlier this week - no specific injury, so weird. Guess that's what happens as you get older ;)

    It does take time to blog. I do it daily and have to actually block time out to do it.

  2. I'm so impressed at your ambition! I jog around the park a few times and I'm already winded. Keep on chugging:)
