Goal Update

We kicked off the weekend with a date night! After sharing some apps at Chama River (seriously, they have the best green chilie fondue and I love their blackberry pear mojitos) we watched The Change Up- it was okay, I didn't like some of the jokes at the beginning of the movie and the people next to me kept playing with their phone and talking. Jason had a big run planned for Sunday morning so we had a low key Saturday and cooked up a big pot of spaghetti. We cooked whole wheat pasta and added in Ragu Garden Vegetable sauce, garlic, mushrooms (a natural anti-inflammatory) and some home grown squash! Delish! And guess what else I finally was able to do last weekend?? Go to an Isotopes baseball game!!

I clearly didn't meet my goal of posting 2-3 times last week but I'm going to try again this week, after all, it was a month long goal so I can't give up! I am doing so well with working out an hour each day, I haven't made it 1 full hour each and every day but I'm getting close. Here's what I have done as far as workouts so far:

• Sunday - Walked about 2 miles (side note: while on this walk I saw the creepiest creature, it was part spider, part scorpion and part beast!! It stood about 2" tall and was about 5" long the walk became a jog after that sight)


• Monday - Completed a 45 minute treadmill run*


• Tuesday - 15 minutes of treadmill cardio and a 30 minute leg circuit workout


• Wednesday - 10 minutes of treadmill cardio and about 35 minutes of weight lifting on back and biceps

So I thought it'd be fun to share this treadmill workout with you. I do this at least once a week because it changes every few minutes so I don't get bored and it allows me to select the incline and speed so I can challenge myself depending on how I feel that day. I haven't tried it, but I bet this would be even great on a stationary bike or walking.

Happy Wednesday!!
