Healthy Habits 8/23

Clocked in 80 hours this week, so I didn't have a whole lot of time for workouts. I did get in a little basketball. This week I'll be visiting my mother and brother in Boston until the middle of next week.

Basketball sounds fun. Have a great visit.

I had a busy week, three hard gym sessions, one walk and on Saturday a 6km mud run. I did it in one hour which was a LOT quicker than last year mostly due to sloshier mud and less waiting. You could not run all the way but I did a lot of running, wading, climbing and clambering!

Afterwards we had a Sambuca, a coffee, a hot swim and a jug of beer (and some food).

I am hoping to build a small amount of running into my schedule, 2-3 runs a week for about 5km, I do not love running but feel it would assist my fitness and maybe weight loss too.

3 runs, 2 yoga, 1 swim. Very good with the food and no pm gastro issues!
A little run down feeling though, so decided to start taking a multipurpose vitamin - and started this week.

It was a rainy and cool week so not as much walking or golf this week. I have been on the whole 30 for at least 70 days now and decided it was time for a little cheat so we picked up a bottle of pinot grigio and had a glass of wine. WOW. One glass and I was tipsy for a few hours. LOL

I have lost 8 lbs and am very close to the high end of my goal weight (which is where my doctor prefers that I be for my age).

I took the dogs for a short walk this morning. It's sooo hard for me to get back into the habit of getting up and moving first thing!

Had a couple of days off with the plank challenge. Got back to it last night. I'm at 1 minute.

Missed out on my weekly walk with a friend so activity was down. Not quite as many smoothies this week either. I think I'll stay regular with these when the school year starts.

Still not snacking in the evening. Food intake moderately good. Eating more fish, cooking more from scratch. Researching organics, non-GMOs, dirty dozen etc. trying to shop more consciously.

93,000 steps and 604 active minutes. So, I met my goals, but it was a struggle last week. Too much time stuck at my desk. I had hoped to make it to the Y to try a class or two, but a couple appointments conflicted with the class schedule. On the agenda for this week!

Been good with the workouts. 3 elliptical sessions, and continuing with a plank a day. I've been stuck at 90" for a week - it's still really hard! Needless to say I am deviating from the original 30 day challenge plan. I think my core fitness is just not high enough for 5 min at the end of 30 days, plus I feel like I need more rest days than the plan specifies (I do better with a rest every 3 days or so rather than 6.). So I'm going at my own pace. I did do 105" yesterday but today could only hold 90.

Food wise I was very good during the week although indulged a bit over the weekend.

I feel healthier and less schlumpy although clothes are still a bit tight. (I don't own a scale and don't like to weigh myself often so I'm going by clothing fit and measurements.)

Pretty good week. I am revising and working on book proposal and sitting in front of the computer for long spells, but drink lots of liquids so I have to get up frequently!

Jeans I wore today were kind of baggy. Third time I've worn them since last wash, so some bagging is inevitable, but I am losing some inches below the waist. Frustrating because they are still snug in the waist. I do wish my body would cooperate and lose inches where I want to lose and not other places.

DH is also getting on the ball--he's confessed to M&Ms and ice cream cones he gets when he "goes for a walk" from his office. Once he is committed he drops weight in a dramatic fashion. Of course he is much further away from the ideal weight than I am.
