#FitReaders: Weekly Check-in October 14

 

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

 

I’m back from my vacation to Nova Scotia, Canada and I had so much fun! Even though my husband wasn’t able to go with me due at the last minute, it was still great getting to see my family. I didn’t do any sight-seeing but spent a lot of time hanging out with my cousins and aunts and uncles. The drive was long – I split it into two days on the way up there, but did it in one day on the way home…thank goodness for audiobooks!!! And I’m so glad I still had a week off when I came back – I came home with a wicked cold, so spent the first few days back doing not much of anything 🙁 I still have a few more days off, and I’m finally feeling better, so it’s back to the gym and my training!

 

My October Goals:

• 10K steps M-F, at least 7,500 steps on the weekend
• 30 minutes of active walking every day, M-F
• Eat
  mindfully/eat enough (esp. in important while training!)

  

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

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

***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.
