Greetings, healthy fabbers! I plan on joining you from her on with your weekly thread. Living in a new city, I don't have those friends who call me when I don't show up to the gym. I don't even have a gym! So please, if I don't show up on the post, hunt me down like a wild boar in the bayou!
I'm trying to set up some healthy new habits now that (most) of the boxes are unpacked and the kids are in school. I'm having a bit of a hormonal hangover at the moment, but I feel better now -- like I've come out of a long tunnel. I'm exercising again, although not yet returned to the intensity of a year or two ago. I've also recently started tracking steps with my fitbit, and am using myfitnesspal for tracking what I eat. Keeping it simple at the moment. I'm mostly using the tracking to moderate my eating and begin making wiser choices. Right now, I have it set for 2,000 calories. At my current weight I can actually probably lose without dropping those numbers --- at least at first. What an eye opener! I'm focusing on mindful eating, better planning, more fruits and veggies, adequate protein and plenty of fiber.
And, when no one is looking.........I've started doing a little YouTube Zumba before my circuit workouts.
