Fit Mommy Friday - Week 1 Update

I should have posted this update yesterday, but I haven't had time until now.  (I actually should be working on review I have due next week.)
I didn’t reach all my goals as I had hoped, but I feel over all I did a pretty good job this week.

Water: I met my goal of 70 oz most days. However, drinking so much water makes me feel incredibly full all day, which leaves very little room for food. Not sure if that’s good or bad, haha :-)

Nightly vitamins: I remembered to take them every night, but one.

Not eating late at night: I did ok with this most of the week. When I did eat later at night, I was sure to eat only fruits :- )

Exercise: I failed at sticking to a 4 day, 30 minute minimum, most days. But, I feel I definitely made up for it yesterday and today. Yesterday (Friday) I worked out for 30 minutes with the Biggest Loser – Cardio Blast DVD, and then went for a 3 mile run. Today my oldest daughter and I ran our very 1st 5k! During this new adventure today, I learned two things - 1) there’s definitely a very good reason why they call it Hillsborough. My Oh My, there were an incase amount of large hills! and 2) I was told that the road track we ran today is the LARGEST track in North Carolina!  I felt defeated that I couldn’t run the 5k (3.106 miles) in the same amount of time as I ran 3 miles yesterday, but the 5k road track had a LOT more hills to contour than where I normally walk. Yesterday’s run was completed in 22 minutes, but today’s 5k was completed in 45 minutes, which I was told was pretty amazing for my 1st 5K, expecially on the track we ran. (Plus, it was 40 degrees outside, very windy, and a little rainy.) All in all, I really enjoyed the run and will definitely do it again!! 

Weightloss: I'm not sure if I've lost any weight, as I don't own a scale.  My hubby won't let me own one, because I'm addicted to what it says.  However, whenever I go to my parents, I make a beeline to their scale :-)  I doubt it's has actually moved any, since I'm having a hard time staying away from cheese and margarita pizza. YUM!!     

I'm hoping I can do much better this next week!  Good luck to all the other wonderful ladies who are also involved in the FMF :-)

Fit Mommy Friday - Commitment

Have any of you heard of the Fit Mommy Challenge? It was created by Denise over at Chai Mommy, with the help of Mrs. White at The Legacy of Home. I have decided to jump on board and join the others participating in the 10 week Fit Mommy Challenge. It officially began October 25th and ends December 31st. However, I’m a little late in the game, so my challenge will be 9 weeks, beginning today November 1st.  


My goals for the next 9 weeks are:

1. Workout in some form or fashion at least 4 days a week for no less than 30 minutes. My ultimate goal is tone, baby, tone! and maybe loss about 5-10 lbs.   
2. To STOP eating unhealthy foods so late at night.
3. To bump up my water intake to at least 70 oz of water a day.
4. To remember to take my vitamins at night and not just in the morning.
5. and of course to eat more fruits and veggies.

Here's to a healthier me!! Wish me luck!
 
If you would like to join in, step on over to Chai Mommy to read about the guidelines, and then swing over to The Legacy of Home to view/print a 10 week check-list Mrs. White has created for us all.
