Review:

For Week of
- July 18th – July 24th, 2022
Please briefly explain your last week:
- Training Log Post HERE. This week was better than last week. Morning workouts are the reason. I am enjoying getting up and getting a workout in and some time alone before the kids wake up.
Please list at least 3 things you were grateful for/ or positives from the week.
- 1. Morning Workouts! Game Changer
- 2. Weather! I will never again take for granted seeing the sun so often and to be outside more.
- 3. The kids are getting on a better schedule! Also game changing!
Did you encounter any challenges? How did you deal with them?
- Weekends! I haven’t dealt with them yet, making a promise to myself to do better next week.
Please briefly describe what did you do for your self-care last week
- Took a few baths, woke up early to workout and then have some time to read and enjoy a little quiet before anyone wakes up.

Nutrition:

Please rate your nutrition and food tracking for last week (1-5)
- 3. Did pretty decent during the week, the weekend was a disaster.
Are you ready to add Macro Counting? (Y/N)
- No. I will probably add in Macro Counting after I have a solid workout routine.

Training:

Please rate your training (1-5)
- 4
Did you stick to your training plan? (Y/N)
- Yes! Added a little more throughout the week, which was a nice surprise. Didn’t follow the weekend workouts.
Are you facing any difficulties with your training?
- I am struggling with getting motivated and out the door on the weekend. I need to switch to morning workouts on the weekends too!

Goal Progression:

How do you feel you are progressing towards your current goals?
- Slowly getting there. I think I need to add in some more cross training to keep moving forward with my goals without getting injured. Going to try and add in a few cycling rides this week.

Lifestyle:

Please rate your sleep quality for the last week (1-5)
- 2. Didn’t sleep well this week. Getting used to the early alarm and having kids wake up a few times before they fall asleep for the night. Hopefully next week is better!
Please rate your digestion (1-5)
- 2. Again, I need to work on my fiber intake! I also need to lower the sugar intake. When I have candy it messes with my stomach for a while.
Please rate your stress level (1-5)
- 3. Stress is going down. Working on this site and editing some movies is helping shut the mind off a little. Consistent workouts is also really helping
Please rate your energy throughout the day (1-5)
- 4. My energy levels go down when my diet is bad. When I get in a good workout in the morning and then eat a balanced diet throughout the day, my energy levels are amazing!
Do you want to give additional details regarding your lifestyle.
- I have been getting the kids out of the house at least once a day and it has been game changing. I need to add back in daily walks and more parks, but we are making progress.
Is there anything additional information you want to provide, or changes you want to make?
- I am going to keep with morning workouts when possible, add in some afternoon cycling sessions and dial in my nutrition a little more.
