not eating after dinner has been truly helpful in losing weight....i am at goal weight and by stopping that after dinner snacking, i've even lost more weight the eating after dinner is just an ingrained habit from childhood thinking we have to have a dessert...but we don't and we can be happy like that Report Inappropriate Comment

FITS Week 6 Challenge Blog

Friday, July 30, 2010

As part of the FITS challenge this week we had to share about our progress related to training for the race, what’s working and what’s not. We are into week 6 of the challenge, so for 6 weeks I have been training for the half marathon that I am going to walk at the end of the challenge. I am definitely nervous that I won’t be ready but having that goal lingering has really made me sure not to skip workouts. I have been doing shorter run/walks (3 to 4 miles) on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and longer runs (this week 7 miles) on Saturday. I also go to Curves Monday, Wednesday and Friday. That is because I do not have time during the week to work out for more than that. So far it seems to be working so far. Actually I am excited to push myself for the 7 miles tomorrow. It’s really neat to see what your body is truly capable of if you set your mind to it. I am starting to realize that when we think we can’t do something we are more likely not to be able to do it. My goals for last week and this up coming week are to focus on getting my nutrition back in check. I really watched my portion sizes this week and dropped 5lbs.

The other part of our challenge this week was to share 10 workout songs so here they are:

Womanizer – Britney Spears
Rich Girls – Time to Win
According to You – Orianthi
California Gurls – Katy Perry
Eye of the Tiger – Survivor
Footloose – Kenny Loggins
Hurts so Good – John Mellencamp
Can’t Be Tamed – Miley Cyrus
Yeah! – Usher
Were Not Gonna Take It – Twisted Sister
