Jenn's Health Mania-Week 14


Although the number 13 may be my lucky number, it was not a lucky exercise week if you catch my drift. I did the video twice! But that's the highlight of the update! I ran twice, boo..... It was my birthday this week and the schedule has been just enough awry that I only got to run twice, though I sincerely wanted to every night!! I did crunches once, and drank more sodas than I had been. So, this week has been a good "what I need to improve on" week, sort of an eye-opener.


So, here's what I plan on adjusting: I would like to start solely running in the mornings instead of at night. This way, I am the only one that has to be out there. When I go at night Mallorie tries to stay up and wait for me and doesn't understand why she can't run with me. But....(there's always one)...I just have to get into the habit of getting up really early! Which means I have to go to bed earlier, but it'll actually turn out to be a blessing all around. Exercising in the morning helps the day get started off right. Wish me luck!


Goals for next week:


  1. Find my love of water again!

  2. Wake up in the mornings & run (aim for 4 times)

  3. Alternate between the video and 50 crunches each day

  4. Make healthy eating choices

P.S. Where is everyone???!!! I'll be e-mailing soon about the side bar bio, so get your bios and pictures ready!! Thanks y'all!

Jenn's Health Mania-Week 13(<---my lucky number:P)

Sorry I'm again posting very late, but I have to confess that personal accountability got me again! I made a deal with Lindsey that we would each do our videos twice, but I didn't get to it again...so I just avoided posting until I could do it at least once!! Funny how human nature is, right? Well, I did the video last night! Woo-hoo, but technically it can't be counted until I post on Friday! I ran 3 times last week, so about 12 miles...yeah I need to step it up a notch but last week was out of our normal schedule so I won't give myself such a hard time. Sitting here re-reading and proof reading I have to note that it feels pretty good to be complaining about ONLY running 12 miles last week. Thanks everyone for the accountability factor, I really am truly grateful for all of y'all's(can there really be 2 apostrophes in 1 word?) participation. I did the crunches once last week, and felt it for a few days after that! So, I do need to keep that goal since I can tell it will work if I make it a habit.

New goals for the next few days since I'm posting so late in the week:

  1. Run 3 more times
  2. Drink more water!
  3. Do weight training video once more
  4. 50 crunches twice
  5. Eat healthier(we ate out more last week than norm.)
