Although I wouldn’t say I’m back to 100%, I’m certainly on the mend and the worst of my untimely little sickness seems to have passed (knock on wood). I might have had to take the first 3 days of this challenge off, but I’ve nursed myself back to health and am finally ready to get sweaty—moderately sweaty, let’s not get crazy here…
Here’s what’s on the agenda for my first official week of November’s Sweat Once A Day lent:
Monday: I kicked things off by taking a nice, long walk—which I did indeed break a sweat on btw, don’t judge walking.
Tuesday: A 60-minute hatha yoga class
Wednesday: A 90-minute home yoga practice (I have to keep up with my teacher training homework afterall) and maybe a walk/jog too if I have time.
Thursday: An early morning Pure Barre class before work
Friday: A Real Ryder class with my lulu ladies (which I’ve never done before so it counts for a “new to me workout”, a #sweatdate, and a studio workout—bam!)
Saturday: In-store yoga at lululemon before work
Sunday: TBD, but it’ll probably consist of a home yoga practice, a run, or a Pure Barre class. And maybe some yin yoga thrown in there as a bonus—because it’s the perfect way to cap off any week, especially a sweaty one.
Anyone else joining me for this sweaty challenge? How’s it going for you?

A shot from yesterday’s walk. The midwest is no New England, but there’s some pretty lovely foliage here as well.
I am obsessed with my lulu gear, it holds up better than any other gear I own…and I wear it more than any other piece as well. This is reminding me I need to get back to the store 😉
You gotta love lulu, right? If it wasn’t embarrassingly enormous, I’d share a pic of my luon collection, I have more than enough to last a lifetime…
If you can fit in lulu you are NOT embarrassingly enormous!
Oh no, I’m not embarrassingly enormous, my lulu collection is haha
Does a 30 minute sit in a sauna or steam room at a local spa count? It sure would get you sweating! And what a nice way to end your week – blast out the last bit of that cold!
The stupid cold is still lingering, I can’t seem to kick it, grrrr…
A sauna or steam room sounds perfect though, maybe I should do a little research and try to find one around here…
