I had planned to do another fitness challenge starting next week. But honestly, things are getting very close around here. As we wind down the summer, I just never seem to have enough hours in the day. So I’m going to do the best I can to get in my workouts, but I’m going to have to let myself slide. After all, I’m a mommy first and sometimes, there just isn’t time for exercise….like on Wednesday. I had a sick kid, and he just needed me to hold him – in the middle of the night. Once I get a big sleep disadvantage, that’s it for me. I really have a hard time overcoming.
But this week, I managed a few workout triumphs -
Monday – Heavier weight lifting – Cathe Friedrich video
Tuesday – 45 minutes on the bike
Thursday – 55 minutes on the bike
I’m hoping to finish off the week with a run and some weights. Our jogging stroller is on its last legs, so that’s a factor in the running situation for me. I may have to pare down to once a week – when I can leave the boys at home. In the meantime, I’m going to use my heartrate monitor to try and get a baseline on my heartrate so I can work towards a similar heartrate on the bike. I’m not confident that the bike is as good of a workout as running. And I want to maximize it. Although I’d love to try a spinning video, I’m just not sure right now and am enjoying pedaling away to my iPod. I so rarely listen to non – kid music.
Onward and forward.
