Weekend Workouts Day 2

I started the morning off with Day 17 of the 30 Day Shred. I burned 229 calories—which is the most calories I’ve burned since Day 1! I’m on level 2 currently, spending 10 days on each level. I’m excited to measure myself after the 30 Days. Here’s a sampling:

30 Day Shred

Hubby and I spent a couple of hours at the pool today. It felt great to get some sun. I got it in my head that I could get a little swimming workout in. I’m not the best swimmer, but I just kept moving. I swam laps in my own style, not really sure it’s a real stroke but I just swim like a frog. lol I alternated between my front of back and WOW that’s a good workout! I really want to learn how to swim correctly because I enjoy it. I swam laps for 20 minutes.

And then we came home and rested for a little while before heading out for a run. Hubby and I ran 2.58 miles in 33:21 and I burned 387 calories. Hubby had to deal with a grump the entire run because I was tired and hot from a little bit of a sunburn from the pool. But we finished!

So since Friday night, I got in six workouts and burned 1402 calories, not counting what I burned for swimming because I really don’t know! It feels good to be active!

Weekend Workouts

One of my new goals is to be more active on the weekends. My new workout plan has been to workout everyday for about 30 minutes and work out for an hour most days of the week. Since I started doing this, my weight loss has started up again. I love weekends because I have much more time to get in workouts when I WANT to because I don’t have a set schedule. So this morning, I couldn’t sleep, so I went for a walk for 30 minutes. I walked 1.84 miles. I love going for walks in the morning when it’s so quiet and calm outside. And of course, I completed Day 16 of the 30 Day Shred and burned 197 calories. So, it was a good day of activity for me!

I stopped at the consignment store that I’m going to sell my clothes and found out how everything works. I have to make an appointment and they only accept like one small bag of clothes per appointment, which is a little ridiculous if you ask me. So I’ll be making a bunch of appointments because I have TONS of clothes to sell! While I was there, I browsed the store and found a pair of workout capris that fit me PERFECTLY for only $3.99!! Now that’s what I’m talking about! I think I need to start shopping at consignment shops more often as I am transitioning into smaller sizes.

So that’s about all I have for an update today. I hope you’re having a great weekend!
