3x a Week Challenge Check-in: How You Doin’?

Greetings and salutations!  Sorry for my radio silence lately, but I've been sick with a medieval flu that has had me horizontal since Saturday.  I'm still not 100% yet -- this is my first time at the computer in almost 5 days, but I'm on the mend. So, yay for that.

But, I learned a lesson about procrastination and the 3x a week challenge, that's for sure. 

So, last week, I said I'd go to the gym 3 times a week. I figured that would be perfectly fine and I went on Monday.  I figured I'd do Monday - Wednesday - Friday and that would be that. But Wednesday came and I was really busy and Friday came and I was really busy and I thought, "That's ok, I'll go Saturday and Sunday, when I have a little more time."  Well, I went Saturday morning, after dragging myself out of bed to do so, only to come home and pass out for 4 hours and subsequently, have the flu.  So I missed my 3rd day.

I SO didn't want to be the one to miss my 3x a week. You can't lead a challenge and flake out, that's just lame.  I couldn't help it, obviously, there was no way I was lifting my head, let alone weights on Sunday. But, I did learn not to put off the challenge until the last minute.  So there's that.

This week, my 3x a week challenge has been devoted to resting and getting better by drinking plenty of fluids and taking my vitamins. I hope to pick things back up again physically next week.

How is the challenge treating you? Are you enjoying the 3x a week challenge?  How you found anything new you enjoy doing because of the challenge?  Are you developing any new habits?  Tell us about it! (And don't forget to update us with your progress by tweeting with #3xweek so we can follow along -- we try to reply back to everyone, I've been the sickly slacker on that lately.)
