The Week in Review, and my first run in a long time...

Time flies when you're having fun, right?

This week, my goal was to get all my workouts in.  In order to do that, I needed to go to bed on time and wake up early.  Now, my weekly schedule is pretty much based on when my husband is NOT home, haha.  There were a couple of things this week that derailed my plans, though I still think of it as as successful.

• Monday the husband was home so I definitely did not get anything done in the morning.
• Tuesday morning I got in my workout on Trainerize.  Tuesday night, we went to bed late.  My children did not sleep well so we were up and down.
• One of my children was sick on Wednesday.  My husband stayed home with her.  Thus, he wasn't gone in the morning, so I didn't work out (I moved the workout on my calendar to Thursday).  So, I slept until it was time to get the kids up.  I had Irish dance class on Wednesday night, though, so I was active and moving.  
• While I was at work Wednesday, a Christmas tree was purchased and placed in my normal workout spot... 😐   
• The same child was sick the second day on Thursday, and I stayed home with her.  I slept until it was time to get the kids up.  I did, however, work out in the afternoon while she was watching, and, feeling better, she joined in for the 2nd and 3rd sets.  I did not get in my 10,000 steps.  It's really hard to do when I'm home.
• Today, Friday, I thought about getting up before the kids, but again stayed up too late last night (I'm talking about 10-10:30, here).  I skipped my workout in Trainerize.  😕  
• BUT, I did make a plan to go running today and start my Couch to 5K app program--AND I DID IT!  Hubs got home a little later than expected, but it was still nice out, so was ready to go when he got home.  I used both my app and my Garmin Vivofit HR+ to track my run.  The app glitched the first part, so the Garmin is more accurate, but the graphic I have is from the app:

Despite not reaching my "goals" this week, I think I really did have a good week.  I tried to get 10,000 steps every day I was at work, and tonight with the run, I ended up with 16,000 steps, which completely makes up for me not getting my steps in while home with my child yesterday.

I've decided that I will use bus duty at the end of the day to rack up more steps.  And then, if I still don't have 10,000 steps before I leave the school building, then I walk a couple laps around the hallways until I reach that goal.

Something I stumbled upon this week was a group of teachers who run on Wednesdays after school.  They are also Couch to 5Kers.  I'm going to plan on running with them on Wednesday afternoons after bus duty.

So, overall good week!  I feel like I really got moving!
