A few From The Week

 

 

 

Invited a sweet friend with me!

 

Upped my daily step goal to 11,000

Do or Do Not, There is no Try.

 

 Me and my Momma, puttin' in work. 

 

 First night back at C25K!! Loved every second of it. 

 

Calories aren't correct here.

This week has been tricky, with my husband home. 

I find it harder to get my day done as I normally do and I don't get nearly as many steps in before the gym. I think I'm getting a cold, so that makes it harder too. Anyway, tonight's fun facts.

Week Review

 

Snow Days

We had a snow day yesterday!! Unfortunately it meant no driving to the gym, but I still managed to get 10,000 steps and 5 miles around my tiny home. 

 

Thursday, I woke up sick, again. I have no idea what my crazy body is trying to do to me. My husband convinced me to take it easy, so I did. Then that evening, I was feeling upset because I hadn't met my Fitbit goals and I was going back and forth on whether or not to go to the gym to try and catch up. After wishy washing myself, my honey offered to drive me to the gym, take the kids for dessert, and come back for me, since he knew the driving was the part I was dreading most. ❤❤ So, a picture of post walk Caitlin and her Mr. Hunk.

 

Tonight was a good night at the gym. I walked a mile, used weight machines for 30 minutes or so, and then walked 40 minutes, just over 2 more miles. I'm feeling accomplished. 

 

Today's stats!

 

Something else I'm proud about, my fitbit keeps track of my heart rate and in doing so also gives me a Cardio Fitness score. When I first started wearing this new Fitbit, my score was 20-22. Now, it's this!

 

Not a huge difference, but it's better. It makes me happy!

I also got my newBible yesterday. I'm 7 days behind, so I plan on doing two studies every day this week to catch up! I'm excited to share some of that here too. It's a big part of this journey. Being healthy, and focusing on the Wife and Mother I feel God is calling me to be are my focus points this year. 

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Yesterday Fun

So tonight, (err, last night?) my mom went to the gym with me. We stayed 2 hours!! We tried out every piece of equipment except for free weights. It was so fun! The night ended with a HydroMassage and Chair Massage for sore muscles. I'm loving this gym!

Those active minutes... so proud of me!

The day as tough, with a clingy not 100% Baby, but I feel so good tonight. For dinner I cooked the most delicious meatloaf and mashed potatoes I've ever eaten, and I am so excited about this new journey of healthier living for myself, but for my family even more so. 

 

My new Bible should be here tomorrow. Yay! I'm excited to dive in and catch up for the year.  I'm looking forward to sharing more of that side of my journey here too.

January 3!

 

Chicken Enchilada Lasagna Style, with Zucchini!

 

Cha Ching!

Today has been so eventful! I started off the day with a Starbucks (Thanks secret elfster!) and then a shopping trip to Walmart. I stuck to my grocery list, which was based on my meal plan for the week, so double yay!

 

When I got home, organized my refrigerator and my honey helped me cook dinner. Here's mine!

 

Sweet potato 'bun', burger, fried egg, avocado and salt and Pepper. It was legit the best burger I've ever eaten in my life. So yummy!

Afterwards, I prepared a 'already to go' lunch for 4 days this week (or 2, if I share with my honey.) 

 

Chicken Fajita Bowls

Chicken with homemade Taco seasoning

Bell peppers

Rice

Black beans and corn

I can't wait for lunch tomorrow!

Then, I decided to go to the gym. It's the first time I've been to this new gym, and when I got there and parked, anxiety and fear took over. I sat in the parking lot for 15 minutes until (with the help of my 'tribe') mustered up the Uumph to go inside. I'm so glad I did!

 

Before...

 

After!

 

Calories aren't right, I didn't use the heart monitor. :-)

I feel so good after going, and I'm looking forward to round 2 tomorrow.

So, with that, here are today's final stats!
