Lori: “We probably need to discuss workouts again it has been awhile.”
Michelle: “Ya it has been over 2 weeks.”
haha, this is how one of our many conversations went these past few days.
We did not mean to take such a long break from working out, but due to Michelle traveling, Lori building fence, both of us adjusting to new work/life schedules, setting aside dedicated workout time was not the main focus. Yes there were some days when we did our plank workout, but generally moving and sweating like we usually do, just was not happening.
We are firm believers that if you are dealing with other stresses in your life, it is best to relax the body when you can. Even though workouts are great for health, they still put stress on the body.
Although we must say we are both very happy to be back doing our workouts as we have missed them!
We are going to start documenting our workouts again here on the blog to help keep us on track.
One reason why we blog is to keep track of our daily workouts to help us continue to reach our fitness goals. It is nice having the blog to document everything for accountability purposes.

We are excited to start sharing our daily workouts again. We hope by us sharing our fitness journey we can inspire you to start yours again, if you got off track too.
That is one great thing about life. You have the power and choice to start again.

Speaking of workouts.
This morning we did our 5 minute plank workout for our warm-up followed by 10 different leg exercises that we performed twice with weights. We forgot how much we love lifting our legs.
one fitness goal of ours is to get a little more muscle on our legs, a little toner
We ended our leg workout with push-ups (did three sets of 15 reps). We always like to do push-ups daily to keep our upper body strong. Then did a little cool down of stretching.
Post workout smoothie: about 1 cup water, 2 frozen bananas, 2-3 stalks of green (this one is swiss chard based).
Tomorrow we are thinking an arm workout.
What is your one fitness goal that you are working on now? If you get off or have gotten off track with workouts, how do you go about getting back on track? Do you record your workouts daily for accountability?
I’m training for my first 10k and have been following a training plan – it’s the most structured my workouts have ever been, but I’m not making any excuses to skip them – I actually look forward to running or yoga or whatever I have planned that day.

yahoo, good luck!!!
No fitness goals for me at the moment, just trying to find a healthy balance with my stress levels, fitness, and eating. Its been hard for me to not over do it on exercise, and I’m working on increasing calories so that I’ll have more energy for them!

I’m working on training for some upcoming races.
It’s hard sometimes to get motivated though when you have other things in life taking time and energy. Love the quotes today!

I’m working on improving my running speed. I have gotten off track the last few weeks as I got married and got sick immediately after the wedding
I am finally feeling better, so I hope to start running again this week! I love your workout posts! Keep them coming!
i have been hardly doing anything lately except for some walks and a couple yoga sessions. my left foot has been bothering me and i might have a micro fracture so i’m taking it easy
i record when i work out in fitday so that i can look back and the month and see how i did. i don’t really have any specific goal in mind, just using it as a stress reliever at the moment.
I would love to know what kind of workout you do for your legs. I’m working on toning mine as well and have been doing some Jillian Michaels routines but haven’t noticed much difference.

I’ve been working on NOT working out and abandoning the “shoulds”..and being ok with it. I just haven’t “felt” like it, even though i’m usually a workout warrior! Love to lift and run and all sorts, but this past year i’m finding myself just losing my steam and desire.
I worked alot of overtime last week which had me exhausted and miss workouts. I’m STILL beat! So, I’ve opted to listen to my body, ignore my head, rest and spend the time doing things I enjoy (which has been in the kitchen and with the dog).
My workouts have mostly been just walking the dog for a total of 1.5 hours a day… at a brisk pace. If i’m feeling crazy might add in a little sprint or two, nothing too insane. That’s about it.
I need some new workout inspiration……. and to stop picking at all the yummy stuff i’m making.
