Alright, I've been dreading sending in this post. For some reason I really lost steam last week. Of course, it didn't help that we had a family birthday and I was preparing for / dealing with company in from out of town. I think it became all too easy to use those as an excuse for not working out. Can anyone relate? On the up side....my house got a super cleaning that it really needed!

I only really worked out three days! :( Well, maybe the mental break will keep me psyched up for the rest of the month of October. I also have a question for you all...Do you have a different "winter weight" goal than you would have for "summer weight"? The weather got cold here for the first time this season and I was reminded how much my appetite goes up. I was wondering if I should give myself a couple of pounds of leeway for the winter months?
My nifty new Polar tells me:
4 workouts (ran 10.4 miles total and commuted home 27 miles one day)
4 hours 5 minutes of activity
2392 calories burnt, alright too bad I ate Mexican, Pizza and had beer this weekend.
In addition to the 2- 5ks, 1 - 4 miler and the commuting I did pushups twice, a ton of yard work Friday night and Saturday plus walked around for 3 hours at a Wildlife Expo Saturday afternoon.
3for3- To answer your question regarding winter weight vs summer weight... I have no idea. I've lost about 45 lbs in the last year and before then didn't pay much attention to my health and fitness levels for about 10 years. Until I reach my goal weight I wont know for sure... Just gotta keep plugging along until then!
FYI... this wasn't a good week for me. I am not looking forward to posting my workouts on Sunday...
Bump. Last week wasn't good for me:
4 runs- 3.2, 2-ish, 2.4, 3.2
Some very light yard work. I am fighting allergy season and it zaps my motivation. Still moved forward towards the weight loss goal. I think this week will be a bust too since I am going out of town. I will take my running shoes though.
I basically took last week off.... I know. Shame on me...
*Bump*
Let me bring my shame to the table. Week of 10/13-10/19:
Thursday- Ran 3.2 miles. Good time on the run.
And that is IT!! Back in the swing of things though, I ran last night and will likely ride tonight. But wow, one day? I still lost 2 lbs on my weight watchers weigh in, maybe my body was needing a break. :confused:
