I've been off the booze since St Patty's, which is my longest stretch in quite a while. Eating has been mixed, but getting better, and I'm not feeling hungry, so I think I'm training my appetite back to where it should be for an inactive, middle aged body. But the continued inactivity is an issue I need to work on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embracin-g-the-healthy#post-1203249 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 01:50:15 +0000 shedev 1203249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tracy Liz, the veggies and protein sound delicious.<br />Linda, its so hard to eat right on the road.

I've got a 10k in 2 months, and have been horribly sidetracked by this relocation business. 2014 was to be a banner year for performance for my triathlons, but now I'm struggling just to keep up the minimums. </p> <p>I'll do the races I'm already registered in, but allow that this year won't be stellar. On the other hand, I couldn't be happier about the move, and in the long run it will support my (and DH's) fitness lifestyle goals. </p> <p>So, in light of my first event the end of maya, I will follow an 8 week program that should provide sufficient tune up for the event.</p> <p>Good luck to you all, and your fitness goals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embracin-g-the-healthy#post-1202406 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 02:54:21 +0000 citygirldc 1202406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been eating healthy this weekend, tracking food, and walking everywhere since I'm currently in Boston visiting my sister. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embracin-g-the-healthy#post-1202365 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 02:10:36 +0000 Linda 1202365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TraceyLiz, vertigo sidelined me seriously, too!&nbsp; Anyway, I'm in too!&nbsp; I am gradually working toward more than 3 days a week of high intensity intervals on the treadmill (HIIT on the TM for short).&nbsp; I keep re-starting weight training over and over, I only really could stick to that when I convinced DH to do it with me and so far, that's been a no-go.&nbsp; But I know I would get fitter faster if I could commit.</p> <p>We often wind up eating on the road, if we don't manage our schedules well, and I'm really trying to a) buy organic, and b) cook or prep more meals at home.&nbsp; </p> <p>Oh, and when I buy them and eat them, I remember that I really LOVE Granny Smith apples.&nbsp; It's just that I go for spells when I "forget" that and wind up looking around for sugary or cookie or candy type snacks!</p> <p>So, every one of you YLFers are not svelte and gorgeous as you look in your WIWs???&nbsp; You could have fooled me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embracin-g-the-healthy#post-1202291 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 00:16:04 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1202291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in as I gained a few due to vertigo and sinus infection! &nbsp;Will probably being going to St. Thomas with DH new company, so need to get in shape.. I am going to stick to protein, fruits and veggies and get rid of complex carbs as well as work out again.. I began two days ago with my Fluidity Ballet Bar and went bowlng with sons and DH today( trust me after 3 games I am feeling it!) &nbsp;Would love to see what I can achieve by the end of April...&nbsp;</p> <p>Going to go on a no buy for that time frame as welll and then maybe splurge on something more extravagant... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embracin-g-the-healthy#post-1202286 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 00:02:39 +0000 shedev 1202286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary K, it's so nice that you had that time to spend, you and he will treasure it always.<br />Deb, I'm very happy you are joining in.<br />Diane, I feel like being healthier makes our daily life much easier.<br />Kim, most of us can, glad you are joining in.<br />K, I'll check out healthy habits tomorrow.<br />Jules, embracing the healthy is all about the little tweaks we can make to be a little more&nbsp;healthy.

Not about weight for me so much as feeling better overall - before I started the last six weeks of working two jobs, I decided that I would eat what I felt like and not worry about working out simply because of time. It was a good decision in terms of not judging myself, but I do feel a bit sluggish, and I'm not crazy about that! Now that it's over, it's time to eat/exercise for energy and not just to get through the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embracin-g-the-healthy#post-1202048 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 16:52:55 +0000 viva 1202048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in, too. I don't have any work travel on my schedule which means a lot of time working at home alone and extra marketing, and that means the potential to be bored, frustrated, lonely, and tempted. I can use the extra motivation and support. Thank you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embracin-g-the-healthy#post-1202019 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 15:53:35 +0000 Jules 1202019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, I'm in! Not interested in weighing myself or obsessing, but I've sworn off booze for a month (until I go visit my BFF for her 40th end of April), and am trying to be much more concious about what I eat. I was indulging to the point of not really enjoying it anymore and that's where I draw the line - time to break the habits. Next step is getting back to the gym, hopefully next week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embracin-g-the-healthy#post-1202000 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 15:29:50 +0000 Kristin L 1202000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check out Healthy Habits.

I need to try to make time for a bit of regular exercise and make healthier eating choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embracin-g-the-healthy#post-1201584 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 01:38:44 +0000 deb 1201584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embracin-g-the-healthy#post-1201563 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 01:03:35 +0000 MsMary 1201563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think that's a great idea!&nbsp; I've been on vacation and having a grand old time with my Marine, and it's time to rein it in a little!!&nbsp; April Fitness Month it is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embracin-g-the-healthy#post-1201508 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 00:18:11 +0000 shedev 1201508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's a whole lot of rumbling about weight going on so I'm issuing a challenge. your mission, should you accept it, is to embrace the healthy. We did this at my job. I'm gluten free, for Celiacs- not weight loss, so I'm not really dieting. I am trying to make better food choices, like fruit for snacks.<br />I've declared April my personal fitness first month. I'm cutting back on working to focus on becoming more fit. I worked 80 hours last week and have averaged 65-70 hours, and that just hasn't left me any time to work out.<br />Anybody up for embracing the healthy, fitness first? </p>
