At Home Workouts...Pequot Warrior Edition

These workout moves can be done at home and they're great for beginners. Let me know how they worked for you.....once you stop laughing. 

My First 5k!

I finally did a 5K! The last time I attempted to do one Hurricane Irene touched down so it was canceled. On May 13th I did the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Philadelphia. My friend's step mother is a survivor so a few of us went to join my friend in showing support. I walked the whole thing in about 45 minutes. That may or may not seem like a big deal but the fact that I can now do 3 miles in under an hour is progress. I'm looking forward to my next one in June.

A view on the way to the 5k...we had to park really far. 

Who doesn't love baby geese?

I love Philly. 

We had cheerleaders! I felt special. 

The scenery definitely helped the time to pass. 

This is my official work out hat. It's comfy and dare I say,  stylish. 

I was so happy to pass this on the way home. Gotta visit this museum again. 

The walk to my friend's car was another mile...at least! 

Walk it out....

Real women walk! 

This was my jam when it came out..don't judge me. 

Yesterday I walked a total of 6 miles. Today I walked 3.5 miles...in 45 minutes! I do get some side eyes from people at times, but I walk when I have a destination to get to-and I walk like I've got somewhere to go. 

Michele knows how to do a good side eye. 

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly...Part One

The Good
I walked a total of 6 miles today.
I said no to carbs and made healthy food choices.

The Bad
I only drank 3 bottles of water today...I usually have 5


The Ugly
I had three Coronas this evening....That's 360 calories. Which basically cancels out half my workout.

So the plan is to lose 3 pounds this week through hard core exercise. I'm gonna pop in the Insanity dvd and my walk from work is about 2 miles. I plan to eat clean and work out twice a day, every day. I enjoyed the beer today because I'm not having any more beer this month. I actually enjoy the taste of beer. But I enjoy the taste of victory much more.
