Fit Mommy Check-In

Here I am on the other side of the big eating holiday.  I did weigh on my Wii Fit and I had lost 2 pounds since the last time I weighed on it, but it is lighter than my bathroom scales, so I don't "count" that weight.  But it does make me happy to see that my weight is going down, even if only a pound or two a month.

As for my exercise goals this week.  I'd say I did rather well.

Monday- walk with friend at the gym (done)

Tuesday- walk with friend at park (rain or shine, I hope)  too busy, also fighting a cold. But, I did get lots of credit for  being on my feet all day with the cooking and cleaning.  Plus I went to the grocery store.  I'd say I did well enough.   

Wednesday - strength training walked with daughter at park. She had me marching and doing other things.  She might make a good trainer one day! 

Thursday - Day off.  It's OK to take a day off.  I like to give my knees a break after a vigorous walk. 

Friday - walk with husband at park (done). Forty minutes of sweat! 

Saturday- strength training DVD (done) Used 5# weights!  I bumped it up from 3#. 


Physically this was a hard week with fighting a cold or maybe it was allergies.  I was congested more than usual, tired, and sneezing.  Since I did not have other symptoms I think it was just allergies.  I did kick up a lot of dust in the house with cleaning.


Mentally, this was a tough week because I was trying to do lessons and get ready for our family coming Thursday. I am thankful it all went well and I did not eat way beyond moderation.



I hope you all have had good weeks, too!  Be sure to stop by Annie Kate's to find others trying to be fit mommies!
