Love, Life, and the Pursuit of Happiness: Shape My Saturday

This year I turned 29. I know that's not old but between job, wife, mom of 3 and just life in general it is sometimes a challenge to stay in shape. So after a year of nothing but some random workouts and a few 5k's, I've decided to get serious. And... my body is not liking it at all! Wow. 30 is upon me and I don't think I have ever ached like I have the last two weeks.

My biggest obstacle is the weekends. I have such a sweet tooth and we tend to eat sooo bad on the weekends so I am starting "Shape My Saturday" to give me some motivation!

So... here are some goals of mine:

Lose 8 pounds
Tone up (especially the butt and upper thigh area)
Run a 10K (and maybe a half marathon) by the end of the year
Eat healthier

This week my workout schedule went like this:

Monday - Ran 2 miles on the treadmill, evening walk with the hubby.

Tuesday - Upper body weights - Biceps, Triceps, Chest, Shoulders and Back

Thursday - Ran 2 miles - Lower body weights - Calves, Quads, Hamstrings, Abs

My plan is to get a good run in today. I hit 4.7 miles last weekend so I'm shooting for 5 today!

What are your workout plans?
