My Week in Workouts

I've never posted or written down what all I do during a week as far as working out goes. I wanted to start documenting what all I'm doing so it will hold me accountable and also hopefully inspire some of you to try new things! I am using an app on my iPhone called Lose It! This allows me to document my eating/calories along with my workouts/calories burned. My goal this week has been to burn more than 500 calories per day.

Here we go!

And the week is not over yet! Tomorrow (Friday) & Saturday morning have more swimming planned. I'm also planning on getting in another workout at the Rec Center Friday night. And to top off the week, Saturday night is the Glo Run--a 5k that's under black lights and has a DJ and is going to be so much fun!
