Beach Ready Body- First Week Recap

My first week of my attempt to get in shape for the beach went ok. I almost met my original goal of running 5k 4 times a week without stopping. What I actually did was

• Sunday- Ran 5k in 35 minutes before church in the morning. It was so nice to run without the jogging stroller and I only stopped for a minute
• Tuesday- Ran 5k again in 32 minutes
• Wednesday - Took the girls for a 2km walk to get some fruit from a local fruit stand. I felt very eco-friendly
• Thursday- Walked and ran 5k with the jogging stroller. It’s so much more of a work out even though I run a lot less.
• I really should have run on Saturday but just did not feel like it.

I wanted to do my Abs video 5 times a week but ended up doing it a grand total of 0 times. The segements are only 5 minutes long so I really don’t have any excuse for not doing them. But my attempted excuse is that I can’t do it while the kids are up since they climb all over me. When they are napping or down to sleep I have so many other things I need to do so I put working out at the bottom of the priority list.

I did eat a fruit or vegetable with about 80% of my meals but also snacked on chocolate and cookies. I sent my husband shopping and being the sweetheart that he is, he brought home a tub of cookie dough. I have very little self-control when it comes to chocolate.

I’m suffering a serious lack of motivation this week so I need to get my butt in gear if I’m going to accomplish any goals in my 2nd week. I think I’m going to put on my bikini soon for some extra motivation
