#1MillionMinutes

I am so excited to join #1MillionMinutes with #sweatpink! This summer my goal is to do 1000 minutes of activity, while wearing my favorite color pink!

I predict that we’ll kick the goal of #1MillionMinutes - we’ll actually hit 2 million minutes this summer! I predict that running will be the top-logged movement.

I'll get extra minutes in by hiking at Mt. Rainier in a couple of weeks!

My favorite way to get extra minutes in is by walking with my adorable dog Penny.

So are you in to help us get #1MillionMinutes in this summer!

Wine & Dine Training Plan

Now that my knee is feeling better the majority of the time, I thought it was time to get back into running.  I picked up a treadmill on Craigslist since it's hot as hades outsides, plus that will help cushion my knee for a while.  My plan includes 3 days of running (working off of the Jeff Galloway plan) and 4 days of 21 Day Fix workouts.  Remember, I'm starting from scratch so this may seem pretty basic, but I hope it works for me.

Round 1 of the 21 Day Fix Done!

J and I recently finished our first round of the 21 Day Fix and are very happy with the plan so far.  We didn't follow it perfectly (had some cheat meals, didn't always work out, etc), so we didn't see as good as results may have been expected, but we were pretty happy with what we did accomplish.

The biggest change is that we are eating a lot healthier.  We're planning out all our meals, eating smaller portions, and consuming way more fruits and veggies.  We can eyeball a lot of portion sizes now, but still use the containers for some things.

We've also been working out a lot more than we were previously.  The 30 minute work out videos are short, but a great workout.  They will kick your butt.  We can feel ourselves getting stronger and the moves getting a little easier. 

We each lost about 5 pounds during the first 21 days and a couple inches throughout body.  No drastic changes, but I'm happy with the program just for the facts that we're eating healthier and working out  We're definitely going to stick to it and make it a part of our lifestyle now. 

Have you done the 21 Day Fix?  How were your results?
