Colonel's PT Challenge: Catching Up

How the heck did I get so far behind on reporting in for the Colonel’s Challenge?  Week 3 was my last recap and that was January 20.  What is happening?!?  Welp, here is the recap of the last few weeks.

 


 

January 21 - 30-minute treadmill walk for 1 mile, 40 push-ups, and 20 sit-ups 

 

January 22 - 10 sit-ups and 20 push-ups.  Somedays even if I’m not able to get in activity, I’ve been trying to get in a few sit-ups and push-ups.

 

January 23 - No activity.

 

January 24 – I was able to get to the gym for my favorite 60-minute strength and cardio class, 20 sit-ups, 30 push-ups. 

 

January 25 – I lasted only 30 minutes of TRX and functional kettlebells at the gym.  I was really sore from Jim’s class the day before so I bowed out and walked in the indoor track for 22 minutes and 1 mile.  I also completed 20 sit-ups and 50 push-ups. 

 

January 26 - 30 minutes on the elliptical/bike.


January 27 Travel Day steps…lots of steps.  I am counting 55 minutes and 2 miles.

 

Traveling to Nashville/Knoxville for a work conference posed some challenges in getting in daily activity so I used walking/steps to log some and made a commit one day to wake up early and hit the hotel gym.  The rest of the days I started my activity tracker every time we walked to/from the hotel and the convention center.

  

January 28 – I hit up the treadmill at the hotel gym for 20 minutes and .92 miles.  I also completed 30 sit-ups, and 10 push-ups.  My co-worker and I logged lots of steps walking downtown.  I counted 57 minutes and 2 miles.

 

January 29 – Combined workouts of 40 minutes walking for a total of 1.41 miles, 10 sit-ups and 10 push-ups.

 

January 30 – Combined workout of 30 minutes walking for a total of 1.3 miles.

 

January 31 – Combined workout of 18 minutes of walking and 0.7 miles.

 

February 01 – Travel Day steps.  I counted 31 minutes and 2 miles.

 

February 02 – No activity.

 

February 03 – No activity.

 

I came home from the training exhausted and with a head cold so getting in activity has been difficult.  I am feeling better and plan to ramp it back up.

 

February 04 - 20 sit-ups and 20 push-ups.

 

February 05 - No activity.

 

February 06 – I had the MOST fun at a 60-minute HITT workout with a local group called KegFit.  We worked out in the back room of Barbarian Brewery and afterwards, had a recovery beer in the taproom.  It was a blast and I met so many great people and I’d loved to do this again.  I also completed 20 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. 

 

February 07 - No activity.

 

February 08 - 30 minutes on the bike/elliptical. 

 

February 09 - 30 minutes on the bike/elliptical. 

 

February 10 - 30 minutes on the bike/elliptical. 

 

Whew.  Sorry to leave you hanging.  We are all caught up now!  I have four weeks to go.
