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...

Weights, Run, & Road Trip Details

Two on Tuesday This morning my eyes opened wide at 4:55 am. I tried to go back to sleep, but quickly realized I was only fooling myself. So I got up and got my workouts done. Today was leg day with quad focus. Wide-stance squats - 3x8 Rear leg elevated lunges - 3x10 Firewalkers - 8 total Narrow-stance squats - 3x10 Static lunges - 3x10 Squats with low-end pulse - 3x8 Wall squats with ball - 6 reps of squat with 10 sec hold Outer thigh raises with ankle weights on ball - 2x24 We had storms roll through last night, so the temperatures dropped finally. It was 74 this morning, so I decided to take advantage of that and get in a short 20-minute run. When I first started out, I seriously didn't think I was going to get very far. My legs were already yelling at me. But, about half a mile into the run, they loosened up and it felt good. What's the Deal With the Road Trip? I am really glad I got the workouts done early. I feel like I still have so much to do to get ready ...
