I had another good week!! Except for the M&Ms I indulged in while watching Fifty Shades. :)
Sunday ~ I did cardio at home - both an elliptical program and running on the treadmill. Steps: 10408 (5 miles) 1879 points
Monday ~ I worked out at home - cardio - as my kids were home for a holiday. Steps: 6506 (2.4 miles) 717 points
Tuesday ~ I went to yoga and it was wonderful! I then did my cardio - both elliptical and treadmill - for an hour. Steps: 8014 (3.8 miles) 1432 points
Wednesday ~ I did my Muscle Madness class and then I did zumba. I still hadn't met my goal for the day, so I ran on the treadmill for half an hour after I got home. Steps: 10728 (4.2 miles) 1455 points
Thursday ~ I did yoga. Again, lots of stretching of my hips and thighs...I felt great afterwards. I didn't do cardio because I decided to give my legs a day of rest. Steps: 2456 (0.8 miles) 249 points
Friday ~ I did my cardio workout at home - an hour on both machines. Steps: 4760 (2.5 miles) 1010 points
*~*~*
I continued keeping my food journal this week, and counting calories. I'm still feeling great and I weighed myself at the beginning of the week and found I'd lost 2 lbs. Go me! *haha*
How'd you do this week?

This was a good week!!
Saturday ~ I did cardio at home - both an elliptical program and running on the treadmill. Steps: 10408 (5 miles) 1879 points
Monday ~ I tried a new class. It's called Muscle Madness but it's really an interval class and it was awesome! Then I did an hour of cardio. Of course, I was so sore I could barely move but 'no pain, no gain', right?!? Steps: 10268 (4.5 miles) 1649 points
Tuesday ~ I went to yoga thinking to stretch out my sore muscles from the Muscle Madness class. But I had a sub and she did PiYo instead of yoga. This really worked my glutes and hamstrings... again...so I really had trouble moving. I also got in a walk outside. Yeah, I'm a glutton. :) Steps: 6506 (2.4 miles) 717 points
Wednesday ~ I was planning on doing Muscle Madness again but decided I'd better give my muscles a break. I did a half hour of cardio at home. Steps: 3320 (1.3 miles) 408 points
Thursday ~ I did yoga. And we did lots of stretching our hips and hamstrings. I felt amazing aferwards. Then I ran 2.5 miles. Steps: 7052 (3.5 miles) 1412 points
Friday ~ I have my kids and hubs at home today - (holiday) - so I'll do my cardio here at home.
*~*~*
I don't know exactly what the points mean on my Flash but they set my goal at 1000 points a day. Unfortunately, when I do an hour class of yoga, or even Zumba, it doesn't rack up that many points. I still have to get some cardio in to hit that number. (and I don't always, obviously) But I *know* that I worked out even if my points don't show it.
Also, I started keeping a food journal this week, and counting calories. I've cut back on my coffee+creamer to see if that'll help make a difference in my waistline. I really feel like a eat well. So I'll just give it time. All this exercise and not having to work this week has left me feeling great, strong, and confident though.
How'd you do this week?

Work and a sick kiddo slowed me down this week. But I squeezed in exercising. :)
Monday ~ I worked. But I got in an hour of cardio when I got home. I did get 11304 steps - 4 miles.
Tuesday ~ I did my hour of cardio at home - no yoga because I had a sick kid at home. I only got 7138 steps in.
Wednesday ~ Nada. Besides being home with my sick son, I wasn't feeling all that well either.
Thursday ~ I worked. And I did a yoga class - because I needed it. AND I did an hour of cardio. I got in 8380 steps.
Friday ~ I'm planning on doing a PiYo class - combination of pilates and yoga. And I'll get my cardio workout in as well. :)
I'll get some extra workouts in over the weekend. I'm still feeling good about getting my exercise in and eating well. Still haven't noticed a difference in my clothes. Hmm...

This week has been challenging for me as far as exercising since I've worked more than usual. I am still doing well with my eating goals.
Monday ~ I worked. I did get 6188 steps - 2 miles.
Tuesday ~ I did my yoga class plus an hour of cardio. I got in 9080 steps or 3.4 miles.
Wednesday ~ I did an hour of Zumba and then 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes on the treadmill. I set a personal best of 12772 steps - 5 miles!! That was 1752 points.
Thursday ~ I worked. But I did get to 84% of my goal. 8340 steps or 2.7 miles.
Friday ~ I'm working today but I'm hoping I'll get at least 70% of my goal...around 7000 steps.
I'm feeling proud of myself for working at the exercising. Hopefully soon, it will start to show in how my pants fit! ;)

I apologize for not getting my check in done for week 2 last week. I was out of town doing college tours with my daughter. But I wanted to do an update for that week as well as this past week.
I will try to figure out how to do graphics or something to make these posts a little more fun to look at. I'm still trying to figure out everything I can do with my Flash. My daily goal is 1000 points or ~ 9000 steps.
**Week 2**
On Monday, I did an hour on the elliptical. I hit 1196 points or 9376 steps.
On Tuesday, I went to yoga class - it's still just as awesome. I'm really loving this class. I only hit 254 (2506) points though.
On Wednesday, I went to my first Zumba class. My yoga teacher teaches it and asked me to come. I'm terrible as it, y'all. But it's so much fun! I smiled and laughed almost the entire hour. I didn't set my Flash properly so it said I only hit 707 points (6970 steps).
On Thursday, I spent a lot of time in the car driving. My daughter and I left on Wednesday afternoon headed to Seattle. Once there, we drove to Portland. We toured a college in Portland. Then walked around the city a little, in the rain, and got lunch. After that, we drove to see Multnomah Falls. And then we made the ~4.5 hour drive to Bellingham, WA which ended up taking closer to 7 hours because of rain and traffic. I hit 716 points (6818 steps).
On Friday, we toured another college and then walked around campus a bit. After that, we went into downtown Bellingham, and walked around before having lunch. This is the only day where my Flash said I got in enough activity to meet my goals. :) We left Bellingham in the afternoon, headed to Olympia. I hit 1026 points (9324 steps) today.
On Saturday, we toured another college campus, also in the rain. We also did a little sightseeing in downtown Olympia. We then drove over to Tacoma where we visited Owen Beach on Puget Sound and got a private tour of the University of Puget Sound from my pal Robyn Jones. :) I hit 860 points (7980 steps).
Sunday was spent walking in airports and driving. I only hit 641 points (6078 steps).
**Week 3**
This past Monday, didn't get any extra exercise in. I was busy doing laundry and grocery shopping since I'd been gone over the weekend. Plus, my kids were out of school for the day and I wanted to spend some extra time with my two younger kiddos since I'd been gone. I only hit 212 points! Gah! Only 2096 steps.
On Tuesday, I went to my yoga class. Then I also did an hour on my elliptical. I hit 916 points or 8422 steps today.
On Wednesday, I went to Zumba once again. I hit 993 points or 9260 steps today.
On Thursday, I did an hour on my elliptical. I hit 910 points or 9260 steps.
On Friday, I worked but still got close to my goal. I hit 704 points in only 6860 steps.
Yesterday, I did an hour on the elliptical. I hit 1101 points or 9092 steps.

I'm still doing well with my eating habits as well. I didn't go too crazy while my daughter and I were away. And I got right back to eating normally/healthily this week.

Okay, so I this is my first week doing #FitReaders. It was my first week back to eating healthy and exercising after the holidays. :) I had a pretty good week. I got a membership to my local rec center and a Misfit Flash for Christmas. I just got my Flash going yesterday, so it'll help me keep track of what I'm doing daily.
On Monday, I worked. I also worked today and wore my Flash. Based on what my Flash said for today, I can guesstimate that I walked about 10000 steps. That's ~3 miles.
On Tuesday, I went to my first ever yoga class - and it's a combination of tai chi, yoga, and pilates. It was awesome.
On Wednesday, I went to an interval class. It kicked my ass, y'all. Just sayin'.
Yesterday, I spent 30 minutes on my elliptical and 30 minutes on my treadmill - for a total of about 4.5 miles.
And today, as I already said, I worked. Not only did I walk about 10, 200 steps, I was some heavy lifting, and lots of squatting. :) I work at Barnes & Noble, for those of you who don't know.
Also, I did well with eating - which makes me happy. AND, I went to bed early this week, getting at least 6 hours of sleep.
