Reflections on Past Week’s Plan:

Writing these plans out really helps me stay focus and also identifies areas I need to work on… Last week, I was able to meet most of my fitness goals with the exception of the strength training… I didn’t do any of it! 

I love doing cardio & I love the fact that I can do it while catching up on some tv shows or the news, whereas if I’m doing strength training I’m probably following a dvd… By writing out a plan each week, it has helped me to realize I’m pretty cardio heavy in my workouts and that needs to change slightly   However, I am happy that I’ve picked running back up again… I took a three month hiatus from it after having some minor knee pain… I thought it was a good idea to let my joints rest and I’ve been easing my way back into it by doing intervals… I think it worked because I pretty much ran three straight miles yesterday (with one 2 minute walk break) with no pain!
