MDPhDWife May Challenge

[MDPhDWife]

Last night I walked on the beach for an hour, not sure how many calories I burned....

[MDPhDWife]

Today I did the elliptical machine for a total of 40 minutes and burned 296 calories.

[MDPhDWife]

I've been keeping track, but just got lazy posting while we were out of town. So here's my catch up:

5/3: Walked for 2 hours
5/4: Elliptical for 40 minutes and weight lifting for 30 minutes
5/7: Walked for 2.5 hours
5/9: Walked for 1 hour
5/10: Tennis for 1 hour

Now I'm recommited to logging on a daily basis on loseit!

Today I played another hour of tennis. Cancun is only 3.5 weeks away, so I need to hustle!

[MDPhDWife]

Today was a good day exercise wise. Played tennis for an hour and then ran for 30 minutes. Total exercise today: 90 minutes!

[MDPhDWife]

Today I played tennis for 65 minutes, ran on the treadmill for 35 minutes, and then did circuit training (pushups/situps) for 20 minutes. Total exercise today: 120 minutes.

[MDPhDWife]

Spend 30 minutes on the treadmill today and only 5 minutes doing situps since I'm still sore from yesterday. Total of 35 minutes today.

I need to step it up since Cancun is only a couple weeks away and I cheated a lot this weekend celebrating DH's graduation & my sister's birthday. I did 60 minutes of treadmill intervals and 20 minutes of weight lifting. I'm exhausted! Total 80 minutes of exercise.

[MDPhDWife]

5/24- 35 minutes doing treadmill intervals
5/25-38 minutes doing treadmill intervals

[MDPhDWife]

Last night I forced myself to get on the treadmill for 34 minutes. Then I spent another 10 minutes doing crunches. Total exercise for 5/26: 44 minutes.

Just tallied my running total and it's actually more than I thought! So far, 1062 minutes for the month of May. Not bad for someone who was living a pretty sedentary lifestyle a couple months ago and for being out of town for 6 days. This is helping me remember to give myself some credit every now and then and to reward the small victories.

I'm contemplating replacing the girls annual summer swimming lessons with tennis lessons this year. While browsing the website for that, I noticed there's some adult lessons being offered. It's only $40 for two weeks, but when I add in the $30 for each of the girls, I'm looking at $100. It's not really all that much money, but I'm still not entirely sure when to expect DH's first residency paycheck to arrive. I'll have to look at the budget a little more closely to see if we can swing it. Funny how I would've cut the check without a second thought for the girls lessons, but when I added mine into the scenario, it became a "splurge". Ugh, I know residency isn't going to be easy and it's certainly not a lot of money, but it's definitely got to be better than this right? If I'm wrong, please tell me sweet little lies.

You're a rockstar!!!

Aww, thanks Laurie! I wasn't feeling it tonight. You made my day!

I procrastinated my workout all day today and then tonight, I really didn't wanna do it. DH inspired me by working out himself, so I walked on the treadmill for just a half hour. I didn't burn as many calories as I usually do, but I'm glad I did something.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Running total: 1152

[MDPhDWife]

Yesterday DH & I played doubles tennis for a little over 2 hours with my sister & her fiance. We won both sets!

Running total: 1272 minutes.

Today we're at an amusement park ALL DAY, so not sure if I'll have the energy to do a legitimate workout later tonight.
