Just for fun, here is an old school photo vs. one taken recently.
The early days vs. now-a-days
Oddly, we are so much more active now than we were back then, and yet sooooo much fluffier. But we are working on that, right?
So, now, how did Week 8 go?
Exercise
We stayed with level 1-2 Sweat Cardio, but continued with the Level 3-4 Sculpt Circuit. I have to say, the new pace and intensity of weight training is kicking my butt a bit.
My running was less consistent. I made it out on Monday, but missed my Wednesday run/walk. On Saturday, we pulled our carcasses out of bed early to do the local Turkey Trot. One thing is clear, I need to get back to some hill training!

Diet
My calorie differential was on track all of last week. However, my calories were higher than I'd like them to be on Thursday, Friday, AND Saturday. Sigh.
Coming soon . . .
Well, I'm sure it will come as no surprise that this coming week will be a challenge. We have two BIG obstacles to face: travel and the grand-daddy of all calorie-fest holidays, Thanksgiving. I'll be thankful if I can keep from putting on EVERY pound that I've lost so far.
Will we find time in our busy travel schedule to keep up with our exercise regime? Will we be able to resist indulging in a total pig-out bonanza?
Stay tuned, my friends. In the meantime, have a Happy, Happy Turkey Day!
You guys are doing great! Keep up the good work. I have the perfect place to do power 90. Well I will once I move my treadmill : ))
ReplyDeleteThanks, April. We will need to take advantage of it!
