No weight loss this week to report. I'm pretty sure there is one there, but I have a special visitor this week. We got a new scale too. Our old one has been abused by my son and from a move. I'm sure we weren't getting accurate measurements. Isn't it beautiful and shiny? Can you guess the downside to a super reflective service. No more cute feet shots each week, until I figure out how to fix that.
This week our workout focus has been on the Mamavation #2weekchallenge. Thank you Mr. Bookieboo for putting this together for everyone. JD and I have been busy squatting, pushing up, and doing burpees. Haven't had the pleasure of doing a burpee before checkout a video here. As you can see it winds even the tiniest of woman, so you can imagine the huffing and puffing going on in our house Saturday night.
As each day goes on I feel more and more energized. Surprisingly my muscles aren't as sore as I anticipated. I've been fairly diligent with stretching throughout the day so I expect that has helped. Unfortunately, my dear hubby hates to stretch and he is definitely feeling it more than I am. Perhaps this challenge will give him a new perspective on it. With the exception of Sweat Monster and Paralyzed I have managed to complete the exercises in one burst. My goal this week is to reduce my time and breaks between sets.
The one thing I have realized the most throughout the past few weeks is the importance of a good pair of shoes. The last pair I received was about 2.5 years ago. Might sound like a long time to have one pair of shoes, but they sat mostly untouched except for the occasional walk, hike, or outing. We'll see how long they last now that we are more active. Currently I'm using them for my walks and hikes. I have a bad habit of doing a lot of my indoor exercises barefoot. I think it's due to their stiffness as they are Brooks Running Shoe
s. I would like to get a more flexible pair of shoes for general workouts.

That's awesome you and hubby are doing the 2 week challenge together! It's awesome to have that support.
ReplyDeleteI do my indoor workouts barefoot too.
Keep up the awesome work!
My ultimate goal is to get my man to do workout challenges with me, so glad you have the support of yours!
ReplyDeleteI often do my workouts barefoot as well. I hate wearing shoes, so if I can avoid it, I do.

Congrats on the workouts with hubby. My hubby has been so busy working & working out at work that I haven't seen him (except tonight, but he's snoring since its 2am).
ReplyDeleteI workout barefoot, but its not good. I need easy to get on shoes since I can't bend to tie or fuss with them.
That is awesome that your hubby is doing the 2 week challenge with you. 25 years with one pair of shoes is a really long time. Good luck this week, can't wait to see how much you lost during the challenge!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new scale - look fancy and W2G on the 2 week challenge
ReplyDeleteThat sure is one shiny scale! Nice job on the challenge!
