Tread on Trafficking - Week 4

Hello lovely peeps! It is that time again to report on my tread on trafficking. You can help me reach my goal of $500.00 by going here.

Sunday -               30 min walk
Monday -              3 mile run outdoors
                             45 minutes weight lifting (upper)
Tuesday -              3 mile run on treadmill
                             45 minutes weight lifting (lower)
Wednesday -         3 mile run on treadmill
Thursday -             3 mile run on treadmill
                             Zumba
Friday -                30 min walk
Saturday -            1 hour yard work

That's 12 miles, 2 weight sessions, and 1 hour of Zumba! This upcoming week I am adding an extra weight lifting session to make up for the one I missed. Oye!

Thanks for checking in with me. Together we can help put an end human trafficking!

Tread on Trafficking - Week 3

Yes! Week 3! For more info, read this post.

I was almost able to return to my regularly scheduled programming. Here we go:

Sunday -                                2 hours yard work
Monday -                             3 miles walking
Tuesday -                              Nothing
Wednesday -                         3 miles running
                                             45 minutes weight lifting (upper)
Thursday -                            3 miles running
                                             45 minutes weight lifting (lower)
                                            Zumba
Friday -                                3 miles walking
                                            45 minutes weight lifting (upper)
Saturday -                            Nothing

That's 12 miles and 3 lifting sessions. I originally pledged an hour of cycling. If my gracious sponsors may allow it, I am replacing cycling with an hour of Zumba, since my bike has issues. Adjusting my schedule for these things has been difficult some days, but I am getting it in. Remembering that I am doing it for a cause definitely helps.

Tread on Trafficking - Week 2

Wow, another week! Please check out my original post on Tread on Trafficking so you know what it's all about!

Check-in for this week:

Goal: $500.00
Raised so far: $218.00

Sunday                   Nothing
Monday                  3 mile run outdoors
                              45 minutes weight lifting
Tuesday                 Nothing
Wednesday            3 mile walk outdoors
                              45 minutes weight lifting
Thursday                3 mile walk outdoors
                              1 hour yardwork
Friday                    3 mile walk outdoors
                              2 hours yardwork
Saturday                4 hours yardwork

So, this week got a little messed up. On Wednesday, I woke up with a pain in my neck. It got worst throughout the day. I did weights for lower body to avoid the neck issue. On Thursday, I awoke with an even greater pain. But I had to get the raised bed painted and the dirt arrived, so I filled my pots with mixes of topsoil, peat moss, and perlite. On Friday, the pain was still there. I walked 3 miles on each of those days, and did yardwork anyway, because I felt I had to be as proactive as possible. On Saturday, my neck felt much better, but it was a day committed to yardwork and entertaining guests. I did my 12 miles, but nine of them were walking. I only did two weight lifting sessions because of the neck issue. I didn't cycle because my bike still needs work. I also missed Zumba because of the neck issue. :(

In its place, I got a lot of much needed yardwork done. I stayed active, and will resume the usual routine this week. Thanks for tuning in, and please sponsor me so that together, we can help end human trafficking.

Treading on Trafficking - Week 1

It was my first week to complete Tread on Trafficking. I pledged 12 miles of running, three 45-minute sessions of weight lifting, and 1 hour of biking per week for eight weeks to raise awareness and money for Love146's fight against child sex slavery and exploitation.

This week I was sponsored for $218.00. Thank you so much to Rachel and Dave for their contributions! I have a goal of $500.00. If you'd like to help prevent human trafficking, please visit my page and donate!

So, let's see how I did for Week 1 of 8.

• Sunday - Nothing
• Monday - 3 mile run on treadmill
•                 45-minute session weight lifting
•                 (added bonus - 30 minute walk after dinner)
• Tuesday - Nothing, due to a long meeting.
• Wednesday - 3 mile run on treadmill
•                      45-minute session weight lifting
• Thursday - Zumba! 45 minutes
•                   3 mile run on treadmill
• Friday - 3 mile run on treadmill
•              45-minute session weight lifting
• Saturday - My plan was to bike. But my bike was not up to par. :(   So instead I did 2 hours of yardwork in my yard and in a friend's. 

So, that was it! 12 miles and three 45-minute workout sessions. I also went for walks, and joined Zumba just for fun!
