July Workouts

I'm not sure that Manda is hosting the 30 Miles in 30 Days link-up anymore, but I still like to post my workouts on here.  One, they help keep me accountable and push a little bit harder than I would otherwise.  I also really love reading when other people post their workouts.  It gives me ideas of what other people do, and I'll sometimes incorporate other things into my workouts I got from them.  So here's what I did in July.

Week One
July 1 - 2.4 mile run
July 2 - Jillian Michael's One Week Shred {cardio portion}
July 3 - One Week Shred {weights}
July 4 - One Week Shred {cardio}
July 5 - none
July 6 - Ripped in 30
July 7 - none
Total = 2.4 miles / 5 workouts

Week Two
July 8 -2 mile run
July 9 - 3 mile run
July 10 - 2.3 mile run
July 11 - Ripped in 30
July 12 - 3.6 mile walk
July 13 - none
July 14 - 11 mile bike
Total = 21.9 miles / 6 workouts

Week Three
July 15 - 3 mile elliptical
July 16 - 3.7 mile run
July 17 - 2.3 mile run
July 18 - none
July 19 - 3 mile run / arms, abs, leg weights
July 20 - 2.4 mile walk
July 21 - Power Yoga
Total = 14.4 miles / 6 workouts

Week Four
July 22 - 1 mile run / arms and abs weights
July 23 - 3.1 mile run / arm weights
July 24 - 2.7 mile run
July 25 - none
July 26 - none
July 27 - none
July 28 - One Week Shred {weights}
Total = 6.8 miles / 4 workouts

Week 5
July 29 - One Week Shred {cardio}
July 30 - 3 mile run
July 31 - 2.5 mile run / 0.5 mile run with Emmy
Total = 6 miles / 3 workouts

Total Miles - 51.5
Total Workouts - 24 


So this is how I spent my July.  I actually didn't feel like I pushed myself that hard this month.  It's been hard to fit in workouts, especially long ones, with Skip working some crazy hours recently and both girls being home.  So I just managed to do whatever I had time for.  I'm going to try and go on some further runs in August, and really start using the weights at the gym more regularly.

What are your workout goals for August?  What are your favorite exercises these days?

    You're doing awesome!! Since I've been sick for the better part of the summer...I haven't been doing any working out to really speak of. So I guess that's why the link up kinda fell on the back burner. Hopefully soon I'll be able to get back on track!

30 Miles in 30 Days

Image
Happy Thursday everyone!  I'll be honest, I almost didn't link up today.  Mainly because there's really not much to report.  Here's what I did:   Thursday September 19 - none Friday - nothing Saturday - 2.5 mile walk Sunday - nada Monday - zip Tuesday - nothin' Wednesday - no thing Weekly Total - 2.5 August total - 31.4 Yeaaaaaah...so that whole 50, maybe 60 miles I was hoping for this month is not going to happen.  In my defense, I seem to have come down with the plague and have been sick all week.  Saturday was the only day I felt kind of normal.  I always have trouble pushing myself when I have a cold to workout, and normally end up just sitting on the couch under a blanket instead.  I really do miss working out though and will hopefully be able to get a little something done to finish out the month. What about you?  Do you still workout when you're sick?  How do you motivate yourself?

The Movers Concert!

Image
Sooo, I totally didn't mean to take this mini blogging break.  But life has just been crazy busy and on the go the past few days that there was no time!  It was nice though to just step away from pretty much all social media and just LIVE.  This weekend was good for my soul and I will be doing a few catch-up posts to fill you all in! The fun began on Thursday afternoon.  Way back in October, Skip and I heard that that Imagination Movers were doing a concert nearby.  You know, these guys from the Disney Channel... They once aired a concert of theirs on the Disney Channel and Little M is OBSESSED.  We have it saved on the DVR, and she wants to watch it at least 3 times a week.  So when we heard about the tickets in October, we were really tempted.  But we didn't know if she would still be interested in them, and with our trip to Disney, we were saving all the money we could. Well fast forward to two weeks ago.  Little M was asking to watch the ...

What to wear in September

Image
I don't know what the weather is like where you live, but here in Jersey the weather gets a little strange here once the calender switches to September.  It's still really warm during the day {70's and 80's} but it drops down to the 60's, 50's and sometimes even 40's at night.  And since it's post labor day, it's not exactly appropriate to be rocking all my summer favorites.  So this often poses a real challenge when it comes to clothes. The past few years, since I'm a SAHM, I have just lived in yoga pants, a tank top, and a zippie {a zip-up hooded sweatshirt} most of the time.  But since I have to take Emmy to school now, I don't want to be that frumpy mom standing in the pick-up and drop-off area.  Here are some of the outfits I've been throwing together.  I've been working hard on finding things that I can easily add or take away clothes as the temperature changes, instead of changing my outfit 109834598 times a day. {Sorry for the...
