#FitReaders: Weekly Check-in July 29

 

#FitReaders is hosted by Geeky Bloggers Book Blog  and That’s What I’m Talking About

 

A few weeks ago, I made mention of a big walk I’ll be doing in early 2017…well, now that I’ll all registered, I can talk about it. In March of 2017, I’ll be doing the CHALLENGE WALK MS in Savannah, GA. It is a three-day, 50-mile walk that tests your strength and your
spirit, and makes an extraordinary difference in the lives of people
with MS and their families. 

I did the walk three years ago when it was held in Charleston, and what an amazing experience it was…it is grueling and physically challenging, but also awe-inspiring at the same time.  I won’t officially start my training until September when it hopefully starts to get a little more comfortable to walk outdoors, but I can at least start with the fund-raising efforts.

Update on July goals:

• 10K steps M-F, at least 7,500 steps on the weekend – 5/5  & 2/2
• Strength-training exercises 3x a week – Done!
• Yoga 2-3 times a week – at least 15 minutes – Done!
• Eat
  mindfully – continue to drink a minimum of 64 oz of water, limit
  caffeine intake, up intake of fruits and veggies, up intake of protein
  at each meal, limit intake of sugar. – Some weeks this is easy, some weeks not so much. The water intake is easy, but trying to eat healthy in this heat isn’t always so easy! Some days all I want is ALL THE ICE CREAM!!!
