Last week my goals were:
#1. Do a plank ladder a day! I have accomplished this goal! I feel so good doing these plank ladders. I have my kids joining me and my husband joined me last night. I also have made it to the TOP of the leader board for the month over at FU Diet Check it out: Leader Board Every night I have completed 6 minutes worth of planks! I encourage everyone to try them for a week. At the end of the week, you will notice a difference.
#2. Be mindful of my eating. I did pretty good this week on my eating. No cookies at bed time. And I made some smart choices. I can always do better, and plan to do so.
I feel like this past week was successful.
This week my goals are:
#1 Write my Bio for the #Sweatpink ambassador site and actively blog. I have been so busy at work, I have not been blogging like I wanted to. I need to come up with some plan for blog posts. I also want to check in with other weekly chasers in a more timely manner.
#2. Continue Plank Ladders, I feel so much stronger in my core.
#3. Eat more fruits and veggies this week. Its time to really focus on healthy choices.
I hope all of you have a great and healthy week!! And to end the post, a little Ryan Gosling encouragement :)
I love the plank a day ladder challenge. I have incorporated that into my goals this week thanks to you :).
ReplyDeleteI also need to check in you chasers throughout the week!
Sounds like you have some fantastic goals this week to accomplish. Keep chasing them.
That's great Sarah! I hope you enjoy them. You will tell a difference, I swear!
DeleteGreat job on your goals last week Holly! And congrats on being on the leader board for plank a day...that's awesome!!! I never tweet about my plank more than once...I always just say plank a day x's 3 if I did more than one. I'll have to tweet separately lol! I think I am going to try the plank ladder thing as one of my goals this week too...thanks for the inspiration! Good luck on all your goals this week!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mindy! I really don't like to post my plank tweets, I hope it doesn't aggravate people seeing them in the feed, but if I don't do them separate, they don't count. I will stop that this week, I promise! I feel a lot stronger in my core after this week. I think next week I am going to go for a longer time, rather than #. I just cannot envision staying in plank for 4 minutes. I think I would fall on my face.
DeleteI love the goals! I finally got my Sweat Pink bio turned in and that was the only one I got accomplished!
ReplyDeletethanks Molly! I worked on my Bio today, I am hoping to send it in tomorrow morning. Have a great week!
DeleteGreat job on your goals! I too love setting goals and find it the best way to stay motivated and accountable!
ReplyDeletethanks Melissa! I have really enjoyed the Weekly Chase.
DeleteI have this secret, well not-so-secret now, goal...starting Aug. 1, I'm going to do 10 sets of 10 pushups and 10 1-minute planks a day. (Your plank ladders would probably be a great idea!) So 10 times a day, I'm going to try and get those in...and we'll see what they do for me. ;) It's part of my 30 days to my 30th birthday bash. LOL "Bash". Ha. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be eating as well as I can this week to fuel my race on Sunday. Hopefully it goes smoothly.
PS: Congrats on taking over the leaderboard, girl! That's AWESOME!
thanks Melissa! Your secret sounds like a great plan. Pushups are my weakness. I just dont do them well. I cant wait to hear more about your 30 day bash! That sounds fun! Good luck on your week preparing for the race and on your race. Cant wait to hear about it!
DeleteYES. I needed that bit of Ryan Gosling in my afternoon.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on topping the leaderboard! Somebody's kicking butt. And that somebody is you. No big deal. :)
I just love Ryan Gosling! Glad you enjoyed that!
DeleteGreat job with your goals last week! After seeing your Plank Ladder goal last week, I wanted to try it out this week! I need to strengthen my core. Good luck this week!
ReplyDeletethanks Amanda! I hope you like the plank ladders! Have a great week!
DeleteI have been doing to ladder planks that you have been talking about all week and even shared the idea with my friends on Facebook. Great suggestion! Thank you! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteoh that's great. I hope everyone likes them. My power lift instructor will be thrilled to know everyone is trying them! Have a great week!
DeleteI totally slacked on the plank a day challenge last week. I really want to try that again this week. Mindful eating is always a challenge for me. Surprisingly, I did not stop at the vending machine at all last week. That is HUGE for me. Good luck with this week's goals.
ReplyDeleteEating is my weakness. I don't eat BAD, but it surely isn't good either! Have a great week! Good luck with your planks.
DeleteYou've got great goals! I'm new to your blog (since I joined the Weekly challenge!) but I'm going to go look up sweat pink and check that out and also google ladder planks...i know what a plank is but I don't know what a ladder plank is (my naive-ness is coming out ... )
ReplyDeleteThanks! Welcome to the chase. I dont know what you will find if you google it. My power lift instructor taught us. Essentially you do a sequence of planks, with 30 seconds rest in between each plank. I lay flat, to rest. The sequence goes like this: 30 seconds plank, 40 sec, 50 sec, 60 sec, 60 sec, 50 sec, 40 sec, 30 seconds. I posted about plank ladders last week, if you need more help look at that post. Last thing, I do my planks on my forearms and toes! Good luck!
DeleteGreat job with your goals from last week! You are really inspiring me with these plank ladders! I've got to start getting in some planks and your version sounds like a fun spin. I understand where you are coming from with lacking time for blogging! I'm a teacher and out of school for the summer. It's so hard to get it done when I'm working full time and running the kids all over the place! Good luck with this week's goals! I look forward to visiting again next time!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christy! I hope you like the plank ladders. I look forward to checking back in with you too!
