My weekend started out super busy and ended super lazy. Rob and I got a good amount of packing done and went out on Saturday night until 3 am!
Eye level at the plastic chair place. You sit on the street, literally.
I haven’t done that since college and Sunday helped me remember why. Even though I only had two drinks the whole night, I was exhausted on Sunday. Yikes.
She walks up and down the street all night selling peanuts, mangos, and quail eggs. I shouldn’t complain about being tired.
Workout Recap
Most of my workouts this week involved some old standbys. After reorganizing the Workouts Page last week, I was reminded of some workouts and wanted to do them again.
Monday – 30:00 Speed it UP treadmill workout (5.53 k)
Tuesday – Cardio Burst Circuit Workout
Wednesday – Off
Thursday – 30:00 min walk with Rob (We didn’t sweat much, but I’m counting it.)
Friday – Off
Saturday – 10:00 run (1.73 k), Push Up Palooza (one set), 10:00 run (2.10 k)
Sunday – 20:00 bike (11.55 k)
Sunday left me with 27 prisoner get ups to finish from the weekly challenge. That was intense, but I did it!
Weekly Challenge
This week’s challenge should leave your calves burning if you’re up for it.
Sorry, I couldn’t find any videos of the exact moves and I didn’t have time to make them myself. If you have questions, please let me know!
- Overhead Arm Reaches – Reach one arm at at time over your head in an extended reach. Slowly bring it down so your elbow is parallel with your shoulder. Then reach up with your other arm. You should feel a good stretch and a burn in your shoulders.
- Full Sit Ups Side-Side – Do a full sit up, then touch each knee with the opposite elbow.
- Jump Half Twists – Jump turn to your left so you’re facing the wall behind you. Then jump back front to your right.
- 3-Way Leg Lifts – Lift your right leg to the front, then to the side, then back. Don’t swing it! Bring it down slowly.

I need to write down the weekly challenge and carry it with me so I can remember what I need to do when I have a few seconds
That’s what I do. I carry around a little strip of notebook paper. By the end of the week, it’s a crinkled mess, but at least I know where I’m at.
I try NOT to stay up super late, I love to do so but I’m not a morning person and my job means I have to be. Blegh. Crazy that you sit on the street at that place, sounds very unique! You had a great week of workouts!
I am a total morning person. i love getting up with the sunrise and getting the day going, but I understand the appeal of sleeping in. I didn’t get up until 11 on Sunday and it felt awesome!
I wish I could be like that. Even when I wake up early, I still don’t want to get up, ya know? 🙂
I know that feeling for sure. Just cuz I’m up, doesn’t mean I really want to be.
Hmmm…I think I have to try these too!
I can’t stay up late anymore…getting to midnight is a victory for me (and the hubs!) 🙂
Midnight is super late for me! 10 is usually my latest, especially on a weeknight. Does that make us old?
