Fit Friday: Operation 40


I cannot believe it’s Friday already. The week was busy and it went fast. It has been rainy and cold all week, but this weekend is going to be gorgeous. 70s and sunny. Amazing! Garth and I are planning on doing a good 8 mile hike tomorrow to bask in the gorgeous weather. It’s hard to believe last Saturday during our 5k it was 30 degrees and there was snow on the ground.

Here are the stats this week:

Pounds Lost: 1 lb
Pounds to Go: 33 lbs

It’s slow, but it is progress and I’ll take it! My work out schedule looked like this:

Sunday - Rest
Monday – Shred Level 2 and Walked 2 miles on lunch with co-workers
Tuesday - Shred Level 2 and Walked 2 miles on lunch with co-workers
Wednesday - Shred Level 2 and Walked 2 miles on lunch with co-workers
Thursday - Shred Level 2 and Walked 2 miles on lunch with co-workers
Friday – Shred Level 2 and Walked 2 miles on lunch with co-workers
Saturday – 8 mile hike

I am proud of myself for getting up early and doing the workout. Level 2 is my least favorite but I pushed through and did it each day. I’m glad I start Level 3 next week though. I also found that playing music while I do the video makes it much more tolerable. I think I even work out harder? Love that.


My food this week has been good. I've eaten healthy, stayed away from a few temptations and watched my portion control. I went back to an oldie but a goodie breakfast option – whole wheat bagel thin, crunchy peanut butter and a dash of cinnamon. Yum!

Ever since I mentioned  Veggie Patch Mediterranean Spinach and Chickpea patties last week I haven't been able to find them. GAH! I hope they come back into stock to because I am obsessed with them.

Garth and I have started seriously researching vacation spots and plan to book this weekend. That will make working out and eating healthier so much easier. I need a goal! An end. A reward. We are much more disciplined with food and exercise when we have a vacation to look forward to!

How have you guys been doing?

that bagel looks delish!!! Proud of you for getting up and working out too, it's sooo easy to get it knocked out in the AM. Well not easy, but you know what I mean.

glad your wrists survived a week of week 2! and so good you can walk with co-workers on your lunch break, how nice, and a great way to sneak in extra calories burnt!

I'm way behind in reading blogs, but just wanted to say great job! I just joined My Fitness Pal (or should I say re-joined) & I think tracking everything this way has been really helpful. I need to incorporate more activity into my days though. I'm thinking of pulling out The Shred & doing it in the mornings before work.
