Spring Chick Challenge Update: Week 10

Time for the weekly update for the Spring Chick Challenge hosted by Stormy at Real Chicks Getting Fit.


Week 10 Review--
How much did you work out? 7/7 days for a total of 19 miles of walking/running. And then there's that evil workout- the 30 Day Shred. Evil I say.

How were you calories? Calories were good but I'm so sick of tracking that I stopped. I need to find out how I do without tracking- I've been doing it for 10 months and I do NOT plan on making this a habit for the rest of my life. So far what I've noticed is that what I'm eating is still forefront in my mind and I seem to be counting mentally. We'll see what happens.
 
Did you have fun? I had fun several days with DoodleBug who was on spring break!

Here's my update:


WALKING/RUNNING
  • Monday: 3 miles (WALK/RUN)
  • Tuesday: 3 miles (WALK/RUN)
  • Wednesday: 3 miles (WALK/RUN)
  • Thursday: 3 miles (WALK/RUN)
  • Friday: 3 miles (WALK/RUN)
  • Saturday:  2 miles (WALK/RUN)
  • Sunday: 2 miles (WALK/RUN)

My TOTAL MILES of walking/running for the week: 19; 30 Day Shred x 6 days


WATER INTAKE: 
  • Monday: 96 oz
  • Tuesday: 96 oz
  • Wednesday: 96 oz
  • Thursday: 96 oz
  • Friday: 96 oz
  • Saturday: 96 oz
  • Sunday:  96 oz


TRACKING: Only mental tracking for the time being. Let's just call it an experiment and hope for the best.  
EATING AFTER 9:00 PM: Maybe. 
ORGANIZING:Yes!
SUPPORTING OTHERS: I totally sucked at this.
DAILY WRITING: Yeppers!
WEIGHT: No weighing until the end of the month. 






Week 11 Goals--
How can you rock out this week...? I have no earthly idea.
Are you going to join the next challenge? No. I've got to see how I do without a challenge. I've been involved in challenges for 10 months and it's time to see how I do on my own. If I don't like how it goes, I'll join a summer one! 

WEEK 11 Personal GOALS:
  • Fitness.... I plan to continue walking/running and killing myself with that 30 Day Shred. 
  • Food-....I will continue preparing meals in a healthy manner.
  • Fun.... I plan to have a fun week with a FULL NEST! All of the lovelies will be home!!!
  • Friends... Are you giving support to others...? Yes. And no. 
Week 10 Mini Challenge-New recipe---Get outta a rut and try something new in the kitchen. Be prepared to share how it went... good or bad.

Even though this is something I already do every week, I'll tell you that this week's new recipe was DELICIOUS! Zucchini Pizza! I'll definitely be making it again and again!  And again!


Week 11 Mini Challenge-- Veggie & Fruit Frenzy: Let go for 6 fruits and veggies every day. That is one more than the recommendation for the FDA. I already overeat fruits and veggies every day! 


That's it for week 10! Hope everyone had a great week and has an even better one coming up!

Keep it positive y'all!

    10 months is a looonnnngggg time to count, so i can see that you want to cut the rope now and try going it alone.

  3. Mimi- I think that stopping to track now is better than waiting until it becomes a form of sabotage instead of helping. I can't wait for them to get here- only two more days!!!

    Betty- It has been essential for me as well. Just not right now. I'll go back to it if this messes me up but I really need a break. The zucchini pizza was fabulous! I'm making it again Wednesday- come on over!!!

    Shawn- Thanks!

  5. Can you over eat fruits and veggies. I hope not...I love to eat them. Oh and the seedy, nutty stuff, too.

    Have a wonderful time with your busy family.

  6. Wobble- I wish I inspired myself. LOL Can't wait to hear all about the great things that await you in your new state/town/home!

    Stephanie- I don't think so! I just meant in relation to what is 'required'- which is ridiculous. Thanks! I can't hardly wait until they arrive! Just one more day and they're HERE!
