30 Miles in 30 Days/Workout Progress

05.09.2013

I feel like I’m making progress! It’s seriously the best thing ever to actually SEE the results that you work so hard for. Once you see your body changing it only pushes you harder. It’s the best feeling! So if you feel like your not seeing results, KEEP GOING!!! You will get there, patience is a virtue! (which I am working on ;))

I’m excited to be linking up with Ms. Sarah and Nikki again for this awesome challenge!

I’m going to start by saying that so far in May I have been slacking on my running and focusing more on lifting. I have a petite frame naturally so my mindset at the moment is focused on building more muscle opposed to cardio.

Here’s what my week has looked like so far:

Monday: double day- 30 minutes elliptical (about 3 miles), then back to the gym for back/biceps

Tuesday: Legs/Glutes (my fave!!) …and still very sore!

Wednesday: Triceps/Chest, 20 minutes of elliptical (about 2 miles)

Thursday (today): 30 minutes on treadmill (3.5 miles)

Friday: Planning to get outside for a run…but may change my mind 🙂

Saturday: REST (Going to Bottlerock!)

Sunday: run/walk with Mom (Mother’s day)

My total miles this week: 8.5 —-> 21.5 more to go!

Are you all staying motivated?

Bikini season is coming up! Here’s to eating clean and training your butt off!!

ps: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!! I LOVE YOU!

January Photo Challenge

01.06.2013

Happy 2013!! My apologies for the lack of posts lately. I have been busy, busy, busy! Just returned from NYC for the New Year, where I put on the Emerald Nuts Midnight Run in Central Park. What is better than starting the new year off with a run at midnight? It was simply amazing. I didn’t have the chance to run, but held the finish line tape for pro athletes who flew across the finish line (4 miles) around 18 minutes! This is exactly what we stand for. Ringing in the new year with health and fitness as a priority. I couldn’t have asked to be in a better city, at a better time…my own personal heaven!

To read more about the Emerald Nuts Midnight Run click here.

I have so much coming up on the website which I am SO excited to share with you all. Yummy healthy recipes which I have been experimenting with, new amazing Fit Gals with super inspirational stories, as well as some resolutions which I can’t wait to dive right into. As for other exciting news, I will be a featured fitness guru on Jessica Read’s website, on Tuesday! She is a social media expert who is looking for some advice on fitness aps. Be sure to check out her site here! Which is your favorite fitness ap?

The January photo challenge from fitspobook is here! I have a bit of catching up to do, but please join me and take a picture of the following fitness topics each day. You can find me on Instagram @JennaPardini, also on Facebook where I will be posting my pictures. Be sure to tag #fitnessandthecity and #fbphotoaday so we can share our photos with each other!

Have a great week! Don’t get discouraged by the overwhelming amount of people at the gym lately…Remember, train insane or remain the same. Keep up the excellent work, and don’t give up. Changes take time, you will get there with hard work and dedication. xo
