Keeping the Routine

It's sometimes difficult to keep with a routine. I get that. I've been through the slumps. But my mind has made so many changes over the past year that for whatever reason I am determined to make my goal this year.

I can't promise I can keep up with posting every day on the blog, after all I am a Mom/Wife first, athlete second and blogger last. So I hope you'll forgive me as I stumble my way through this. :)

For now to help keep myself in order I've downloaded the JEFit app. I love it so far. It's helped me with my workouts this last week. I plug in the workout as planned by my friend and then it basically walks me through each set and shows me how to do the workouts if I'm not familiar with them. I can't say enough great things about it.

And... here's more of my routine for the week...

January 5th - Legs & Biceps

Photobucket
January 6th - Cardio 5000m on the Erg
I've become a pro at pounding back no less than a gallon of water a day. :)
Photobucket
January 7th - Back/Shoulders, Calves & Core
I've taken up the art of food prep. Makes snacking and meal time a lot easier. Don't get me wrong I still cook dinner often, but I make enough to have a few extras for a couple of days ahead. Love it!

January 8th - Rest
Yesterday was supposed to be cardio day. Things did not go as planned. It was a crappy day from the minute I woke up. My daughter was in my room umpteen times through out the night and I ended up getting up around 6am for the day which does not make me happy on weigh in day. It seemed like nothing could go my way. So I ended my day with a nice mug of calm. I really enjoy this tea and it truly does help relax me and put me to bed a lot easier.

And now, to help keep my honest I will *try* to take a pic of EVERYTHING I eat (the good, the bad and the ugly) and post compilation pics like these. Again, don't hold me to it every day but we will see how this goes. LOL.

And my apologies for the toilet-growing-out-of-my-ear picture. LOL. Guess I should be more aware of my surroundings before snapping my pic. O__o

Sweaty Mug

So I joined this group of gals on FB, most of which I went to high school with and am comfortable enough divulging my information with. So, as part of the groups September challenge we have to post a "Sweaty Mug" shot 5 out of 7 days a week. So.... here's today.

Photobucket

I did 3 miles, pushing the jogger in 80+ degree heat. 422 calories burned, however I will start wearing the chest strap again so my calories are more accurate. How's that for sweaty? Oh, and what do you think of one of my newest Bondi Bands?

Anyone else care to join in on posting their sweaty mugs? I could post a linky at the end of each week and we could share our favorite mug from the week??? Any takers?
