My Weekly Workout Recap

Thank you so much, to everyone who left me comments on my last post.  I am so thankful, and motivated, by all the great advice and kindness you have shown by taking the time to read the post and offer your words of wisdom, and especially encouragement.  I am humbled and amazed at how wonderful and supportive you all have been to me.

I almost hated to publish another post after that one!

But, I made a commitment to do a post at the end of each week in November to publicly recap my workouts - I really think it keeps me more honest and working a bit harder toward my goals when I go public with plans and results.

Not quite as much as I had written in my goals, but happy to have gotten the dumbbells out again and run at least once.  I wanted to run Saturday, but it poured buckets all day and it would have not been one bit enjoyable.

Weather permitting, I would like to run at least twice this next week, and plan to get out a Pilates DVD so that I spend more time with that.... oh yeah, and pick up those dumbbells more often, too.

Did you have a good week, fitness-wise?

Are you setting workout goals?

And on a  completely different note, on Thursday evening I ventured out to a WW meeting and without my sunglasses!  First time I had ventured out in public without them since my surgery - 3 weeks to the day.  There is still a bit of bruising under my eye but I am happy to report that I no longer look like I was on the losing end of a boxing match!
