Weekly Weigh-In: Holding Steady With A Touch of Parkour

Holding steady after last week's dramatic 5 lbs. loss.

Holding steady after last week’s dramatic 5 lbs. loss.

After last week’s big 5 lbs. loss, my weight held steady. And that’s just fine with me. Why? I focused on something much more exciting than a number on a scale — PARKOUR!

Yep, after weighing in, I headed to my first parkour class…and it was a doozy.

My hubby took some action shots of me learning how to jump, land, roll and vault. I’ll post those later.

I won’t go into too much detail here but I will say it was the most fun and greatest challenge I’ve experienced in a gym. Truth is it didn’t feel like exercise. It was pure fun with a touch of fear. I felt like I was learning how to be a kid again. Awesome! Read More


July Challenge — #FF100

Join me for the FitFluential 100 Challenge -- 1 new exercise everyday, 100 times. Woohoo!

Join me for the FitFluential 100 Challenge — 1 new exercise everyday, 100 times. Woo hoo!

I’ve settled on my new monthly workout challenge. I’m doing the FitFluential July Challenge#FF100. It’s a new exercise everyday, done 100 times. Yesterday was squats (so thankful I’m sitting on an exercise ball as I write this!).  Today crunches, tomorrow the dreaded push-up.

Nutty? Maybe, but I’m doing it smart. I’m breaking the 100 into doable bites: 20 reps every few hours.

You can get a copy of the workout calendar here.

To stay accountable FitFluential is asking that you “check-in” with them via Instagram or Twitter using the hashtags #FF100 and #FFChallenge.

Something tells me, the hubby is planning to get an action shot for Instagram.
