This week has been spent outside as much as possible. I guess just the knowledge that it’s fall makes me have this looming feeling that, oh crap, it’s going to be cold soon. When, really, it’s not. I mean, not soon, I’m in California for crying out loud. But still. It’s gotten me to want to soak up all of this beautiful weather and the lovely sunshine as much as I can, and so I ain’t mad at it. This means we’ve been going on lots of family walks and sitting outside and eating meals outside and it is the best! There’s something about that vitamin D that is just good for the soul, you know?
Workouts this week have been really great. I’m still going strong following the Tone It Up Frisky Fall challenge and loving every minute. I’ve set the goal to make it to 100 miles of cardio (mine are usually done on the spin bike, since I have Sam and don’t have a jogging stroller!) by Halloween, and I just got to 50/100! Halfway there and not even halfway to Halloween! I’m pretty proud of myself for that one. I know I’ll be surpassing that goal!
And now the week is almost over! Here’s to a fit and fun weekend. I hope you all get outside and soak up the great weather, wherever you are!
What goals have you set lately for yourself?

Well talking about fitness one goal is to NOT gain as much weight as last year over the holidays because that was just scary haha. Life goals, hmm, I’m stumped because there’s so many.
Holidays are always a hard time to keep up the fitness/healthy eating, that’s for sure! It’s all about moderation! ;)

It’s been beautiful here, too– I am so loving walks!! I’m nervous for winter because then there will be snow/ice on the sidewalks for like 6 months… ughhhhh not cool. So I need to stock up on my walks now! :)
YES, take advantage of the nice weather before it’s gone, girl!!

Tone it up! Loved that show, any chance you’ve heard if it’s coming back??
Ahhh I WISH! But I think I heard it’s cancelled, sadly :(

Congrats on getting 50 miles so far! I’ve set the goal of just making sure that I get in a daily yoga session. I always feel so much better, and my body isn’t as tight when I do. Plus after not doing it 4 days in a row, my body was starting to really tighten up on me, and my muscles were extremely sore, to the point where I couldn’t stand at work haha. It was weird, but it was when I knew I needed to make time for it!
I love your goal! Yoga is so great! Works as stretching too, which is an added bonus! :)

I really do need to spend more time outside. Living in Illinois really does mean it could snow next week. But right now, the weather is glorious and I have an almost three day weekend (minus a quick four hours of work on Saturday) to soak it all up :)
YAY for an (almost) 3 day weekend!! :) Get outside and soak it in, girl!

I know, I can’t believe it will be cold soon. It’s already cold here in the morning & at night.

Here too! Which is actually pretty nice! But yeah, the heat is slowwwwly leaving!

Woohoo! Way to go on your cardio challenge! You go girl!
The mornings are starting to cool down a bit here, but I’m still waiting for the evenings to drop a bit. Then we’ll absolutely be getting outside more! Can’t wait!
Our mornings are cooling down, too! :) I can definitely feel fall coming… slowly ;)

I just started the frisky fall challenge this week, and I am loving it too! The workouts have me sore, but in a good way–I’m getting addicted to working out and I’m so happy!
Ahhh that is SO great to hear, girl! Isn’t working out just so fun?! You just have to get into the groove and then you don’t want to stop! So glad you are loving it! <3

I know what you mean about wanting to spend as much time outside as possible during this time of the year. Not only is the weather perfect, but it’s too pretty outside to want to stay inside! That and… winter is coming :lol:
Haha this is true- gotta take advantage of the nice weather while we still have it!!

Aww, your son is so cute! :) It definitely makes sense to make the most of the nice weather while you have it! Getting out for walks as a family is a great way to get some exercise and enjoy nature and the sunshine :)

Aw thanks girl! :) I love family walks, too. They are the best!!

I did get the enjoy the nice weather! It actually is getting a lot colder where I live, so I’m a little sad that I won’t be seeing as much sun now.
Would you ever want a jogging stroller so you can bring Sam along? I’ve seen a lot of them around lately.
It’s cooling down a bit here too! And it’s raining, which is awesome because we need it since we’re in a severe drought! And YES, I have been wanting a jogging stroller- it’s on my list of must-haves! Maybe for Christmas ;)
