It's Wednesday, Week 2, and time to check-in with Rosey for her second report of the 6-week fitness challenge. (See Week 1 Check-in.) Rosey continues to follow along with her workouts, making time for a couple of workouts most days of the week, along with adding in some more core strengthening and sugar-free days as she sees fit.
Rosey's Week 2 Log (click image to increase size): She's completing more miles in fewer minutes and added in some bonus exercises, too!
Let's see what she has to say about Week 2:
Amy @Feasibly Fit Mom: How's it going ~ how do you feel so far?
I definitely feel lighter and stronger, but I'm a little tired this week. Not sure if it is the heat or just from poor quality sleep
Amy @FFM: Have you been consistent?
I've been consistent in completing all of my "menu" exercises for the week, but this week I had two days when I didn't do any of my regular exercises or walking. One day I purposely took it off, but the other day I did a lot of weeding (shovel-digging weeds in hard soil) and trimming plants, and I just didn't have the energy to do any of my other exercises or walking.
Amy @FFM: What do you need the most encouragement with?
I love walking, but I'm finding it a little difficult to get motivated for my afternoon/evening walks. Any encouragement or hints would be appreciated
Amy @FFM: What changes have you noticed?
I am noticing changes all over ... my legs seem thinner and definitely stronger, my belly continues to decrease a little, my arms are thinner, and my waist "muffin" has shrunk some. I haven't stepped on the scale, but I'm sure that my weight is down a little. Aside from the outward physical changes, my blood pressure is lower.
Amy @FFM: Any tips for fellow wannabe-exercisers or sugar-avoiders?
Committing five hours per week to health and well being is a very small price to pay for the rewards I'm already seeing and feeling. If you can't commit five hours per week, start with two or three.
Amy has made it very easy for me to complete my weekly program because she has broken it down into segments that can be completed within 30 minutes, so I don't have to set aside an entire hour at one time, which fits my life best. I think working with someone who tailors a program specifically for you is a great way to start and be successful so you'll want to continue.
Have any questions for her? Words of advice or encouragement? Leave 'em in comments and we'll see Rosey next week!
