Healthy Habits 11/9

I'm back from vacation and even though I did a lot of walking and swimming, I'm still up 5 lbs. We didn't have the ability to cook so all meals were at restaurants. With tropical drinks. I had a great time and vacation weight usually comes off fast once you get back home.

How was your week?

Yay for the holiday!!

Yes a sound week here - three gym sessions (all very hard) and a two hour fast bike ride with three 10 year olds...that did not understand "it is not a race"......Also quite a lot of gardening and running around and walking in general. It has been a glorious week of weather which makes it easy to be active and eat salads:)

All meals out and tropical drinks sounds like a fun way to put on weight if you have to do it :-). As was eating the gluten free brownies and other treats I made for the party we had on Saturday night! So my weight is up too, though coming down, as I hope yours does too.

Sally - sounds like a lovely active, sunny week!.

My exercise was cut down by the bike accident I had last week - bike is still in the bike shop so no cycling to work, and my shin is still bruised so I haven't been running.

I did manage 2 weights sessions in the gym with the PT who is showing me my new program. I had another yesterday and 2 more this week. My form is pretty bad on the leg exercises so he is scheduling extra sessions to get it right so I don't injure myself, which I appreciate.

And he says I'll be fine to do spin today.

I also find that vacation weight drops quickly as long as I get right back to the regular routine. I've dropped the pounds I gained at the last wedding, but this has been a so-so week. I've been much hungrier than usual. The weather has changed, and the time, so that may be part of it. I got in my regular exercises. The next few weeks are going to be busy though, so it is important to try and stay on track.

I resolve to get my flu shot before the week is over. I know they give them at drug stores, but this makes me uncomfortable.

I have been doing the regular Yoga practice. That is usually 5 to 7 times a week. I am now doing a Core Challenge for the month of November. This is 100 push ups, 100 crunches and 100 squats every day. Then every week another exercise is added. Last week it was a plank. This week it is a down dog to plank thingy.

Oh Helen mint slices ! My favourite chockie biscuit of all time! I can't eat them now but I made a terribly tempting gluten free version last month that put me back quite a bit!
