Hey Jaxy!!! Is it just us this month!?!?!?

Well I am in as usual.

I do have to reduce my goal this month. I'm having oral surgery on the 15th and the doctor wants me to take off 2 weeks. Is it sad that I almost decided not to have the procedure because I can't get my work out in????

Congrats on last month Jaxy! You did great. It is exhausting towards the end of the month isn't it. I find that I can't do much more than three months at a really high goal before I just completely flake out. I can make the goals all I want - but by the end of the third strenuous month - my body just starts quitting on me and I lose all my drive and energy. It's interesting how the body and mind works .

Annnyyyywayyyy!

5/1 - 50 minute run

5/2 - 55 minute hard run at the beach. WHEW!

5/3 - 100 minutes total....weights and brisk walk with the ladies

5/4 - off drove to get my college kid

5/5 - off

5/6 - 105 minutes - brutal 60 minute weight work out followed by easy walk and then stretching

Hey Jaxy!!! It is really just us!

Oral surgery went great. Lots of swelling so I can't work out until it goes away. I can walk starting today.

You have been doing great!

I don't understand why people don't participate to this challenge, I find it very motivating and almost crucial to really keep up with your exercise! Oh well! I must have more free time than the average mama :p

Jaxy!! Look at your goal!?!? I'm so so so proud of you. Are you exhausted?

I'm hanging in there. Trying not to get depressed. On the bright side - I have actually lost weight since I stopped working out. But I seriously should evaluate my fitness regimen... I'm so down and out about not being able to run that I don't think it's healthy. I am going to run today though..... YAY!

5/1 - 50 minute run
5/2 - 55 minute hard run at the beach. WHEW!
5/3 - 100 minutes total....weights and brisk walk with the ladies

5/20 - 30 minute walk

5/21 - 45 minute walk

5/22 - 30 minute walk

5/23 - 90 minutes in the garden - weeding, planting, digging - got my heart rate up with the hoe

I feel great! I actually was exhausted Sunday night but it's only because I had insomnia the night before... I feel really good in general and I'm also proud of myself :)

I understand the way you feel lab, I used to feel that way when winter was really bad back north... You want your drug (endorphin) but you can't have it because of something that is out of your control (your surgery, for me it was the weather). Can you bike maybe?

I feel good! But not like I can do anything. I'm torn between the desire of losing weight and meditate. Meditating would make me feel strong but not lose weight lol. I say when I lose about 15 more pounds, I start slacking off a little and take up meditation.

YOU did great lab, considering and even not considering lol! You should be proud of yourself!
