Week 3 #HolidaySweat Recap

Already time for a HolidaySweat update - how is that possible? The weeks go so quickly in December. I spent a bit of time this past week outlining some blog posts, but they never made it past the outline phase. As soon as I can work up a little momentum, I will be posting more.

So what have I been doing with my abundant free-time?

In addition to working and keeping up with my exercise sessions, there has been quite a bit of quality time with my little family. Weeknights this week were filled with holiday shopping and squeezing in workouts. 

I had a lovely dinner with my husband and we shared a bottle of wine after the kids went to bed on Friday and then there was a marathon craft session with the kids on Saturday after I returned from yoga class. We made snow-globes in mason jars and Borax crystal ornaments. Then they went wild with glue, glitter and sequins - because who can resist glue and glitter? 

#CRAFTERMATH!

My little girl turns 4 this week - I am completely in denial that she is growing up so quickly. In one of my more sane moments, we decided to push her "friend" birthday party to January to balance out the to-do list.

Easy Peasey!

 Also in the spirit of balance, I crossed "home-made teacher gifts" off the December to-do list and instead we left Daddy to watch the Pat's game in peace and headed out on Sunday afternoon to pick out care packages of seasonal Trader-Joe's goodies for the 5 teachers/para-professionals and since we packed them TJ's reusable bags - no wrapping. 

#HolidaySweat Week 3

Day	Water	Freggies	Workout & Check in	Notes
Monday	1	1	1	Rest! Social media check-in
Tuesday	1	1	4.5	Ran 3.5 miles on TM
Wednesday	1	1	1	Social media check-in
Thursday	1	1	5.0	Ran 4 miles on TM
Friday	1	1	4.0	Ran 3 miles on TM
Saturday	1	0	5	Vinyasa yoga class
Sunday	1	0	4.25	Ran 4.25 miles on the TM

Just shy of 15 miles this week and that is OK because it is solid, consistent mileage and nothing hurts. My obstacle for more miles = available time and since I am working on keeping my heart rate low, my running time isn't netting as much mileage as it would have over the summer. But I'm also less fatigued 
than I was in September and more energy for my family is a good thing.

Week 4 Goals:

I am excited that yoga = bonus points this week. Because I can't just do one pose, I'll be motivated to get in at least a short 15-20 minute practice each day.  

• 15 miles running
• 7 yoga practices
• lower body strength training
• getting back on track with freggies

Have a great week!
