#FitReaders: Weekly Check September 23

 

#FitReaders is hosted by Geeky Bloggers Book Blog  and That’s What I’m Talking About

 

This is a really crazy time at work and I am definitely feeling all types of stress…so, I put my training on hold until for the time being. The last thing I need is to wind up really sick – and I know me, I definitely will if I push myself to do it all. So, while I did manage to get in 2 really good training walks over the weekend, that was it. The rest of the week I barely made my 10K step count and I just have to be ok with that…luckily it’s only this past week and this coming week (I hope!).

 

My September Goals:

• 10K steps M-F, at least 7,500 steps on the weekend – 4/5 and 2/2!!!
• 30 minutes of active walking every day, M-F – 5/5 – thank goodness for the dogs!!!
• Eat
  mindfully/eat enough (esp. in important while training!) – Did ok, though I tend to be a stress-eater, so this was tough this week!

  

My training plan for the Challenge Walk MS I’ll be doing in March of 2017:

• Tuesday & Thursday: 4 miles – 0
• Saturday & Sunday: Distance walks( distances will vary) – 2/2
• Try to attend one yoga class a week – 0

 

  




 

Here’s how my week went: 

 
 

Sep 17:  22,482 steps (8 miles at mall – 10K)
Sep 18:  17,831 steps (6.2 miles at mall – 10K
Sep 19:  13,462 steps

Audiobooks listened to this week (since I’m not much of a music fan, I listen to books while I walk): 

• Finished The Preacher by Camilla Lackberg, narrated by David Thorn

***In March of 2017, I’ll be doing the CHALLENGE WALK MS in Savannah, GA. It is a three-day, 50-mile walk that tests your strength and your
spirit, and makes an extraordinary difference in the lives of people
with MS and their families.
