Weekly Wrap-Up and Goal Setting #5

Last week was a pretty good week, I didn't meet all of my goals for the week but I still had a good week.

Wrap Up:
I think I was a bit too ambitious with my workout planning. That schedule I made last week is my ideal workout schedule but clearly not my realistic one. I felt great during the beginning of the week but towards the end I started feeling bad. One of the reasons is that my monthly demon friend came for a visit and this was a particularly bad visit. Anywhoo...I'm feeling better now so here is how I did last week.
Swimming: Once (1000 meters)
Biking: none - it was raining this past weekend and I'm not up for riding in the rain
Running - 9 miles, I was going to run Sat but it was cold and rainy
Dang...when I type it out, it seems worse that I thought. I didn't do much at all this past week :(
On a good note, I lost 2 lbs! Things are going well for me using this calorieking thing. I have been extra hungry though so I'm still not so sure about this.

Goal Setting:
While I would like to say that I will do what I planned for last week I will be more realistic with myself. I think I am pretty much ready for the triathlon and Marisa's triathlon training starts soon so that will help me out too.
Swimming: 2 times (Monday and Friday)
Biking: 2 times (Wednesday and Sunday)
Running: 3 times (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday)
Doing one event a day is a lot more realistic than saying that I'm going to do two workouts a day.

What do you have planned for the week??

I like how you make exercise goals for the week. I have done that before and then gave up, I'm going to start again. Thanks for your motivation.

Sounds like you have some good goals!

My plan this week is 4 runs and at least 2 bikes. I have also been squeezing in some walks with my little guy in the stroller whenever I can :)

I try to plan my runs out at the beginning of each week. I know I do 3 miles of hills on Monday, 6-mile trail run on Thursdays, and Saturdays are long run. I try to fit in 1-2 other days of running based on what I need my mileage to be. I can't imagine also finding time to fit in biking and swimming!

My demon came to visit too. :-( It didn't impede my working out, because I never work out.

Jennifer - Yeah! I'm happy that I can motivate anyone.

Sarah- sounds like a good plan.

Dena - It is definitely hard. At least I don't have kids to have to schedule stuff around

TBC - You need to!
