healthy habits 5/3

shedev

I was really sick and slept through the first part of the week, mostly. Feeling better, but it was a bad week for exercise. Weight is the same.

Temps really warmed up this week, so I'm looking forward to some outside time. How was your week?

Glad you're feeling better, Shedev. Hopefully you'll get outside this week.

Loving my yoga and walks with Greg. Loving cooking things from scratch at home - which always feels more nutricious and heathy. Making yogurt ice-cream from three ingredients too.

Sorry to hear you have been so sick Shedev, warmer weather does make you feel so much better.

Winter is on the way here, today rather bleak. Enjoyed lots of leek and onion soup last week, and plan to make more soup this week. Perfect for work at home lunches.

Exercise was steady - two gym workouts, one park workout, one short run and a walk with a friend. I seem to have one good week with eating though and then a greedy week.....

Yoga seems to really suit you Angie, I wonder about starting doing that again.

Hope you continue to feel better, Shedev.

I've been in a funny place the last few weeks, but with warm weather and several trips coming up, I need to figure out why I'm stuck going up and down the same 3-4 pounds. The last week I've been stuck on the up side.

Since May 1 I've been keeping track of what I eat--and thank goodness it is almost my favorite fruit season. I bought my first apricots today--they look great but haven't tried one yet. There is a fruit stand I like to go to, but it isn't open yet. With the strange weather I'm not sure how abundant the local crops are, but I'm looking forward to just picked produce again.

Yogurt ice cream sounds wonderful. Have you shared the recipe Angie?

On target with 10k training. Food was good. Thursday is usually my day off, and cake day - when I treat myself. Well, last week I had 2 cake days!
Getting a little hungrier with the amped up training.

Angie, I like making things from scratch too. I had the summer of ice cream and the summer of pizzas. I make up really great grill sides. It seems to be a summer thing.

kiwigal, great job on the exercise.

MsMaven, looking forward to fresh produce also.

Runcarla, great going with the training.

Sorry you were under the weather, Shedev. Allergens have been swirling around here a lot lately so while I thought I was getting a cold, I think it was just allergies. I've been busy and haven't been super diligent. I've been doing kettlebells 3x a week and taking long-ish walks with the dog on the off days. Hoping to get back into a more athletic routine--have decided to just try and do a mile a day at race pace and see what happens. I used to enjoy running but it has felt like a time suck/grind for me lately--I'm going to shoot for 20 days of short and sweet. Wish me luck!

ETA: Weight is up a pound or two from "normal" but not in the danger zone.

A Summer of ice-cream and pizza sounds AMAZING, Shedev. We are eating the Asian dishes I made over weekend each day with extra sides and it's been fabulous.

Hi shedev. Sorry you weren't feeling well and hope you are doing better now.

My week started last Friday when we went to NYC for the 5 Boro Bike Tour. We did lots of walking, eating, and drinking, then the 40 mile bike ride on Sunday. Funny, I still didn't lose any weight and haven't seen a loss in a while.

This week, back on track with lifting and adding more cardio. No set schedule.

Kellygirl, I seem to be having allergies at the moment. I know what you mean about running becoming a grind after a while.

Angie, I have summer food flings, this year it's smoothies.

CitygirlDC, NYC sounds like a lot of fun.
