So how'd I do?

Apr 122010

This past weekend I completed another round of the Weekend Warriors Challenge. It was not an official challenge this time around, but was done in support of Craig.  Equally as important though, as I need all the help I can when it comes to my weekends.

Let’s see how I did!

  • Run/Walk/Jog 20 miles. Success!  Woohoo!  I completed an 11.82 run on Saturday and a 9.01 walk on Sunday.  So…20.83 miles! Score!!!  I wish I could have made Sunday another run, but my knee was bugging me and I didn’t want to chance screwing up anything.  Running will resume today! :)
  • One round of Yoga.  Fail! I didn’t get a chance to do this, so boo! 
  • Average 1800 calories a day.  Uhh… I think I did this, but I wasn’t really tracking my calories as originally planned.  I stuck with small meals, cooked those meals, and curtailed the snacking, so yeah, I think I got this.

    • I have a weigh in tomorrow, and judging by how the scale has been treating me this week, I’m actually kind of excited.  It’s been awhile, but I really do think I am back on track.

    How was your weekend?  Did you succeed at your goals? 

    Have a great day, everyone! :)

    Weekend Warriors Strike Back (again...?)

    Apr 092010

    It’s that time again, time for another Weekend Warriors Challenge!

    Oh wait, there isn’t actually another challenge this weekend? D’oh!

    NO BOTHER! Craig over at My Life, Take Eight was a bit bummed about not doing well on Brandon’s last Weekend Warriors Challenge, so he is doing it again this weekend.  In a show of support, Erin and I (and maybe a few more?) have decided to do it again with him!  And honestly, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do it again anyway, because weekends are still very troublesome to me.  This way I will have something to work towards. :)

    So here are my goals for this weekends challenge:

    • Run/Walk/Jog 20 miles. I didn’t quite make this goal last weekend, but I came close. I’m a bit worried, only because both my run yesterday and my second run Wednesday (caution: both links contain whining) were less than spectacular, but I plan to rest today and get back into it full force tomorrow. WooT!
    • One round of Yoga.  I’ve only been Yoga once before on this journey, and that’s when I was trapped in my apartment due to Snowmageddon.  It wouldn’t hurt to mix up exercise routines a bit, so I’ll go for another round this weekend.  I’ll be using the same YRG (Yoga for Regular Guys) DVD that I used before.
    • Average 1800 calories a day.  Something I should be doing anyway, but my calorie tracking has wavered a bit (ie, has stopped completely). I am going grocery shopping tonight, so I will have no excuse to NOT eat home cooked meals, where I can keep better track of the calories too.  So WooT to that.

    What about you?  Any plans for the weekend?  Care to partake in another round of Weekend Warrior with us? 

    Gotta thank Brandon of So Long, Fat Ass for creating this challenge, thus giving me motivation to kick ass 7 days a week. WooT!
