i didn't do weights very much this week, so i need to definately include some more this week. there was a little bit of weight work included in part of the denise austin video, so im happy i got a little in. my goal is to do weights at least 2 times this coming week. **if you do toning exercises at least once a week for all major muscle groups, you can prevent muscle atrophy.

i felt good this week on the running! my right knee was a little sore after running, so i spaced out my next one. it has bugged me off and on since since middle school. my knee really hurts if my legs are weak and im running too much. so, i know how to ease my pain. i did a pretty good job at keeping up with my leg strengthening exercises while pregnant with mackenzie, but i still did lose some muscle. so ive got to keep building up my leg strength again.

my saturday run was supposed to be a long one. i was actually really excited for it! ryan came with me to the gym (for the second time this year), so i was even more pumped up! i warmed up with walking almost a half mile, then started running. after 2 miles, i walked another half mile, then finished running the rest until they paged me to the kids zone. mackenzie was screaming her little guts out. so, we left. my workout didnt go as planned, but that makes me even more excited for a long run this coming week.

i really want to go to a class at the gym on thursday at 905, but thats a lofty goal. one that ive had for like the last 2 months and i can't ever get there on time. my kids wake up at 7 and it takes all three of the kids and me almost 3 hours to get fed and ready in the morning. sooo.. im really going to try for this thursday. we will see.

im feeling a little better now that i finally lost a pound. i know its going to take a while for the scale to budge some more. i feel like im looking a little more toned, so its alright- ill take a pound. my official goal (weight-wise) is to be my prepregancy weight by the time mackenzie is 5 months old.

until next time, what is a fitness goal you are trying to reach?

*later this week im going to post on how i got into fitness
