Another one bites the dust

Completed week 2 of the 5k Your Way plan. I was actually supposed to have finished yesterday but I stayed up until 4am from Friday into Saturday and I knew that I wouldn't get up early enough to go walk. I think that this week I worked out more than ever. As I mentioned in my previous post, getting healthy is my #1 priority right now and I feel like I did my best this week.

Lessons learned for the week:

• As much as I like that it's starting to resemble summer here in the Bay Area, the heat sucks when trying to get your workout on outside. I am not a fan so that means I have to get up earlier for cooler temps.
• Fuel up! Having a small snack such as an apple with peanut butter or half of an energy bar goes a long way in giving me the fuel I need to work out.
• Find different places to walk. Going around in circles around my neighborhood has me feeling like a hamster.
• Even if you are a bit hungover from too much sangria, go work out. You will feel better afterwards. At least you will sweat out the alcohol from your body.

Schedule for week 3:

Day 1 - walk for 3o continuous minutes.

Day 2 - rest/cross training (will commit to an hour of cardio)

Day 3 - walk 2 miles

Day 4 - rest/cross training (will commit to an hour of cardio)

Day 5 - walk 2.25 miles

Day 6 & 7 - rest days but I will be doing at least 30 minutes of cardio each day.
