Road Trip Review 10/27 - 11/02

Whew! We're finally into November!!! WOOOO!!!

Last week I suffered a bit, and was still unfocused. I also had some major events happen last week that I'm hoping will change me for the better!

I got a new job! YAY!! I was pretty miserable in retail... and although I am not all the way out of retail, I'm stepping in the right direction and my "Black Friday" will not be as bad as it has been the last ten years I've worked in retail.

I also got to spend more time with my nephew. It's getting much easier to handle him, I'm learning to treat him like a little person, rather than a child. He's still not talking much, but according to what I've read online, it's pretty normal for a 17-month-old. He has about 5 words under his belt, but I'm working on "Ti-ti Julie" next. It'll be alot better than him yelling "stop!" all the time (I think it's his favorite word lol).

Here's one of our latest selfies....

Look at that smile!!! :-D He's so handsome!



So, with that said, let's move right along into the numbers....

Sunday - 1.75 miles
Monday - 2.40 miles
Tuesday - 3.42 miles
Wednesday - 4.16 miles
Thursday - 2.70 miles
Friday - 4.04 miles
Saturday - 3.87 miles


I was pleasantly surprised when I saw these numbers. I wore my FitBit Zip everyday except for Sunday, which is why I put down my "normal" steps for that day.

Weekly total ::: 22.34 miles
Weekly goal ::: 24.50 miles
Deficit ::: -2.16 miles

I'll take that as a victory. Having still not really put myself back into the healthy mindset, I feel like I did try a little harder this week than the last week, and although I missed the goal, I feel alot better that I did make more of an effort, even if I didn't want to.

So, where am I now? With this week's total, it puts me at.....

407.50 miles!

Only 220 miles left to go!!

So, I'm getting closer! I can almost smell the forrest-y smell of the National Park now.... YUMMMM

I am sooo close! Stopping between Charleston and Savannah this week.

Look at that beautiful red line!! :-)


A comparison of Amy and I up to week 16 (this week).
I might be closer but she's right on my heels, I think she really
wants to make some s'mores!! :-D


Amy and I have both been quite busy. And, she's decided to SuperWoman herself up and join in on Na[tional]Blo[g]Po[sting]Mo[nth], where she posts one blog a day for the month of November! No thank you! LOL But I will be excitedly reading hers!!!!! Just make sure to REMIND HER TO GET HER FITNESS IN!!!! Maybe she can do a daily blog about just how much this challenge means to her to finish!???! [HINT HINT!!]


Road Trip Review 10/20 - 10/26

Ah yes, I fell behind. Two whole weeks behind. I just didn't make the time to get myself right, and let my fitness take a backseat ride to unimportant things, like eating junk food and playing video games, and worrying about my Ethics college class that I ended up dropping anyway. Ugh. Time to refocus.

Let's make this one quick. I won't have any maps, but I will have an extended map for the following week I'm about to do.... :)


Sunday - 4.50 miles
Monday - 4.10 miles
Tuesday - 3.00 miles
Wednesday - 1.75 miles
Thursday - 1.75 miles
Friday - 1.25 miles
Saturday - 2.00 miles


Weekly Goal - 24.50 miles
Weekly Total - 18.35 miles
Deficit ::: -6.15 miles

Ouch. I started the week off strong, with zumba on Sunday and Tuesday, and a nice busy day running errands on Monday after class... but I dropped it towards the end of the week. I am really struggling to balance everything right now, and am thankful I don't have any children because I'm sure they would be neglected and I would be a terrible parent. Right now I feel bad I can't take the dog for a walk everyday (and the main reasoning for that is she is hard to walk, what with the whole dog-on-dog aggression issue... yeah...)

So, let's move right into next week!
