Fun Facts Friday - Resolutions vs Goals

Working Out on Friday
So today is supposed to be my rest day, but since I took the day off Wednesday, I packed my gym bag and took it with me to work. This meant I had no excuse to skip the workout. I worked through lunch so I could leave at 3 pm. This also helped prevent any excuses.

I hit the gym for a 10-minute warm up on the elliptical then back from STS Week 2 of Meso 3. This week the weights increase and the reps drop to 4x7.

Underhand rows
One-arm rows
Pullovers (in lieu of deadlifts)
One-arm horizontal rows

I added on low back extensions on the stability ball then finished off with 20 minutes on the elliptical.


Fun Facts Friday - Resolutions vs Goals
Tonight will be our typical Pizza and Pool Friday. It just makes meal planning so much easier on Friday evenings after a long work week. Now I know you all are asking, "So how does this fit in with Fun Facts Friday???" And it doesn't. Just chatting is all.

But since you all brought up Fun Facts Friday, I thought it would be fun to list out goals. I made a resolution this year (to live fuller) that I see as a way of living that will encompass goals, but is not a specific goal in and of itself. Diana @ The Chic Life did a post on resolutions vs goals. Are they the same? What's the difference? I see them as separate and that the resolution leads me to specific goals. But, I never really shared any specific goals of mine, so I thought I'd do that today (of course this is a short list).

  1. Start selling my dog treats (hello Etsy shop)
  2. Run a half marathon (March 6 baby)
  3. Clean out kitchen cabinets (thanks Candice for the reminder)
  4. Avoid the mall/shopping
  5. De-clutter(cabinets, closets, desk, life)
  6. Paint mini-home gym
  7. Save more money (see #4)
  8. Take clothes to resale shop
  9. Extra income for traveling (see #1, 4, and 8)
  10. Travel more - some of this is for work, the rest for fun (Philly, Cathe Road Trip, Seattle/Vancouver, Massachusetts, San Fran, Chicago)
  11. Learn to use my new smart phone (work in progress)
  12. Learn to take better photos
  13. Get back into scrapbooking 
  14. RELAX
So, what are some of your goals? Do you see resolutions as different than goals?

I Run to Feel Alive

Today is National Running Day . Guess what I did this morning? Cycling? Nope. Lifting? Nope. I bet you thought kickboxing right? Nope. Running? But of course! I actually sort of planned my running days this week just so I could participate this year. I didn't get to run last year and didn't even know about it the year before. But running has become such an integral part of my life and who I am, that I couldn't miss this year. Basically, I run to feel alive . It calms me, it helps me work through life, it's often a reason to get out of bed. No matter how tough a run is, it makes you feel ... period. My plan was to get in 5 miles (got in 5.5 actually). It was about 10 degrees warmer this morning and definitely more humid. That always makes for a tougher run. We decided to take a different route today. Well, it was really only a few streets over different, but still. The point is we took a different street. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. I did realize th...

KIND Bar Review + Apple Raisin Wheat Berry Salad

Weights & Step As much as I wanted to run today, I knew there was no getting up early enough to do so. Monday's are hard enough without getting up at 5 am to run. Yawn ... So, today I did my weights at lunch then cardio after work. Weights were pull muscles (biceps and back). I did 3 sets of 8 reps of the following: Biceps : Alternating curls Cross-body curls Zottoman curls Back: Single-arm horizontal row Underhand DB rows Double arm rows It was a pretty good workout. I felt pretty strong today for some reason. Love it when that happens. My legs were pretty sore from yesterday's workout, so I opted for a lower intensity cardio: Cathe's Low Impact Circuit - Cardio Only Premix plus abs. It was a great workout and helped to loosen up my legs. KIND Review I have been very remiss with my review of the KIND bars that I won from Jill @ My So Called Health LIfe . I won the Nut Delight. I don't know why, but I expected it to be a tad softer...
