A weekend away can really mess with the workout schedule! Missed Thursday's workout but made sure to get Friday's in - which was 30 minutes of snowshoeing and a lot of dancing! :) Dancing counts as a work-out ... for sure!
Back home and took Odie for a nice walk in the softly falling snow. It's pretty mild here today, only -10C Had to make up for my missed Thursday workout!
Week three starts tomorrow! Halfway done ... I think I've done pretty good so far!
How is your 20 Day Holiday Workout Challenge going?

uh oh!!
didn't work out today ... noooooooooo!!! missed my first day ... will have to make it up on the weekend i suppose! by the time i worked all day - waited and waited for my flight - went to the ugly sweater dinner - checked in to the hotel - went to Wal-Mart ... i am now in bed and totally pooched.
maybe i'll get an extra workout in tomorrow - in addition to the snowshoeing in the afternoon ... can''t fall off the wagon!

week 2 - day 2
decided to forego the run tonight as it continued to be bitterly cold, hovering around -28 again this evening. also decided to make a real dinner - beef & broccoli stir fry, fried rice and egg rolls (well, those were from a package - we all know how long it takes to make them from scratch!). so delish!
helped a young'un friend of mine with an assignment for her RPN course by pretending to be a sick patient. she did an awesome job! it made me think of those school days which seem so far away - and yet like yesterday - all at the same time.
did this workout from the comfort of my own living room and worked up quite a sweat! i am still liking this challenge as I often need specific goals to meet to keep me on track. am hoping to run tomorrow since it's supposed to warm up a bit ... then out to Timmins on Thursday for our work Christmas 'do. I've been thinking about how to fit in my workouts ... i might run Thursday at lunch then ... oh! Just remembered that our afternoon activity is snowshoeing so that will definitely count as a workout!
now for some TV watching in my cozy bed ... night!
what show are you currently 'addicted' to?

baby it's cold outside!
Week 2 - Day 1 of the Holiday Workout Challenge. After a very busy and tiring day at work, I was really feeling like not doing anything at all! Toyed with the idea of going to fitness, but decided to go for a nice long walk w. Odie and do some at home exercise afterwards. I got changed and it's almost like my running clothes jumped onto me! :) So I changed the plan to do a short jaunt, since it was quite cold out.
Headed out ... and ended up doing almost 5K! In the coldest it's been so far -21C and -28C with wind chill!! BRR! I really need to get me some better winter running tights as my legs were rather cold by the time I got home.
Was nice to be out there on a perfectly clear evening with the moon so bright it was casting a shadow! I think Odie was sensing wildlife of some sort as he was rather jumpy tonight!
Came home to a nice dinner (thanks President's Choice) and got my house a little more Christmas-y. Can't believe how quickly it's coming!

fatigued friday!
decided not to brave the cold tonight and did an indoor workout instead! thanks to Iowa Girl Eats for the inspiration! am feeling it now - i can tell that i've been slacking on fitness classes lately. it's amazing how quickly my muscles forget!
this definitely counts as a 20 Day Holiday Workout ... but maybe (depending on how the day goes) i'll run tomorrow. it's supposed to warm up a bit so it might be nice to have a leisurely run.
heading out to youth group in a few ... gotta enjoy this cup of coffee first.
have a great weekend!

busy thursday!
PTL that tomorrow is Friday! i need a weekend ... not that this one is looking like it will be quiet - but i need to sleep in!
this is going to be a short entry. i did get day 4 done - took a long lunch since I was working late tonight at flu clinic. did a 4.27K run - the sun was beautiful, roads were pretty good - but the wind! yikes! -23C windchill which was not so fun on the way into town, but nice to have at my back heading home!
and now for dinner- i know - so late (but tasty!) and bed. i'm capital T tired.
what is one thing you are looking forward to this weekend?
