This week is bananas for me at school – busy days, and a few events in the evening, too. Which means several more days waking up at 4:00am to make sure I can fit these workouts in. It hasn’t been easy waking up that early, but I’ve been doing a decent job of it these past two weeks.
Here’s my workout plan for this week:
Sunday: 20-mile bike ride with a friend
Monday: stair workout (6 rounds up & down of 225 stairs) + 2.41-mile walk in 37:19 w/ mom + swimming/playing in the pool with nieces & sis.
Tuesday: Rest Day
**Wednesday: TIU: Making Waves Routine (elliptical) + TIU: Sunrise Routine (Beach Babe DVD) / PM workout: Sunset Routine
**Thursday: C25K: Week 4, Day 2 + TIU: Ab Workout Playlist + Bikini Booty
Friday: TIU: Biker Babes + TIU: Take Me to the Sea
Saturday: TIU: Pura Vida + long walk with Sofi
**4:15am workouts
I’m going to try to walk Sofi on Wednesday – Friday in addition to these workouts, but it will just depend how the days go.
I’m excited about this workout plan because it’s challenging, yet also doable. I like the variety in my cardio because I think it’s really important, and the TIU toning is really showing up. In fact, my friend Di said that I look really toned when she saw me on Sunday. Which means that even though my weight has remained the same, I think I’m losing inches and firming up. Plus, I have a lot of fun creating the photo collages and checking in on Instagram with the TIU community.
This week’s C25K comes with 5 minutes of straight jogging, which is daunting, but I’m going to remember to s-l-o-w it down and just push through. My legs are never the issue; it’s my breathing that become difficult, so I know that slowing down will really help. As I mentioned in a previous post, my goal in beginning C25K again is to be able to wog/jog/run the MOOnlight 5K on July 12. Not run/walk, but to run it (however slowly) all the way through.

Just checking in with you, I’m not sure when you’re done with school, but it has to be close and I imagine it’s chaotic for you — you probably completely understand why some teachers would basically just show movies the last week or two of the year! Anyway, keep chugging, relief is in sight! Miss hearing your blog voice.
Thanks, Carina. I didn’t mean to disappear without saying something, but it did get really nuts there for the past couple of weeks. The funny thing about your comment is that I actually end the year in my honors class with a film unit, but it’s Film as Literature, and it all ties in with the Essential Questions for the year, so they’re actually using high-level analysis.
