I am also doing my push ups/sit ups ladder challenge. Done 2 out of 3 days of them so far.<br /> But I am soooo tired this week. Like running an extra min per mile pace and struggling with push ups, to the point I have to do knee push ups. Up a pound and a half, too. I swear, with all the pregnancy talk around here it has me worried! Knock wood I am on oral contraceptives. But man, I'd like to shake the tiredness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits---september-check-in#post-715187 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 22:56:22 +0000 Vicki 715187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for keeping this current, Dianthus! I commend you on your activities and I love the variety of them.</p> <p>I've been taking neighborhood and beach walks and doing abs and floor work. You've reminded me to use up my five remaining Pure Barre classes I paid for and I'll get to that pronto. Eating is usually pretty good, although I do enjoy dessert with dinner, several times a week.</p> <p>My goal will be to take a Pure Barre class next week and also get on the bike. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits---september-check-in#post-712547 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 14:57:52 +0000 citygirldc 712547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there. I'm glad you started since I'll be away this Saturday. My week usually starts on Saturdays. I did NO exercise Saturday or Sunday or Monday. However, I ran 6 miles yesterday, and will take a High Intensity Interval class today and ride my bike. </p> <p>My plan is to run tomorrow morning before we leave for NYC for the weekend. We'll be walking all over the city this weekend and plan to do a 55 mile bike tour on Sunday so more calories burned!! </p> <p>My eating habits have been out of control due to some personal stresses and have gained a few pounds so I MUST take control of that ASAP. </p> <p>Wish you all luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits---september-check-in#post-712532 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 14:48:57 +0000 ManidipaM 712532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plan for this week: Take a walk around the block six times each day! (Used to do this twice a day, have to start over because... see below!)</p> <p>What happened last week: Let's not talk about it --- apparently, I was too busy sleeping to get a move on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits---september-check-in#post-712130 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 01:56:25 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 712130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank Anne. I hadn't looked in the off topic forum so didn't notice this one. I will go check it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits---september-check-in#post-712119 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 01:42:30 +0000 anne 712119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to alert you to this thread in the off topic forum<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-saturdays" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-saturdays</a>.</p> <p>As for me, yesterday's workout has left me with a sore back of thigh. I also woke up feeling a bit sore throat ish, and so am taking today off exercise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits---september-check-in#post-711753 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 17:11:15 +0000 Kim 711753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No more running for me for a while, my foot is still acting up. Wah.</p> <p>Eating has been good, my weight has stabilized and I've been within 1 pound for 2 months now. No more up 3 down 1, up 2, down 2, up 1, down 3...Fighting the same 5 pounds for about a year now! LOL</p> <p>I'm going to do some walking, some recumbant biking and some yoga this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits---september-check-in#post-711635 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 14:41:27 +0000 Mo 711635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I partied too much over the holiday weekend but picked myself back up and went running yesterday morning. I plan to alternate runs (Mon and Fri) and a swim (Wed) with some strength training (Tue, Thur, Sat). I got in 2 runs and a swim last week, so this week is just adding the strength component.<br /> The biggie for me is still wine. I do well with overall calories for the most part. I have cut back my coffee from the 4 cup line on the pot to 3 cups (which equals one tall mugful). Now to cut back the wine to 8 or 9 oz instead of 12 or 15 with dinner!<br /> I do chart my weight on a spreadsheet and averaged 120 for the month of Aug. I'd like Sept's average to be 119 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits---september-check-in#post-711598 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 14:13:50 +0000 Isabel 711598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I am so glad that you resurrected this !</p> <p>I have not had such a good week. I haven't exercised at all. The two and half weeks prior, I biked or walked everyday. I also had eaten really well. But I am just wiped this week and have been "sneaking" chocolate baking chips !! Don't tell anyone.</p> <p>Today I want to get on a bike or go for a walk even for 10 mins.</p> <p>I am so impressed with your accomplishments this past week !! YAYYYYY !!! ( you remind me, I should do some yoga...and NOT meditate on chocolate chips...LOL )</p> <p>CONGRATS !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits---september-check-in#post-711508 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 12:02:02 +0000 rute 711508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been doing this for 2 years now and feel great: yoga 3x times a week + crossfit 3 x times a week.<br /> Healthy food (I dont' count calories, I eat only healthy food)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits---september-check-in#post-711499 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:48:23 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 711499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies,</p> <p>I hope you don't mind that I am starting the healthy habits thread this week.</p> <p>I had a good week for food this past week. I set a target of 1200-1500 calories per day and stayed within it all but one day and was under 1600 that day.</p> <p>I ran twice, golfed twice, and did yoga once. The first golf game was 18 holes on a 34C day with little wind. It was tough work since we don't use a driving cart. We prefer to walk and get more exercise. I checked the listings for calories per activity and it was around 800 calories for the 3.5 hours.</p> <p>My weight is down 3.4 lbs but some of that will be fluid. I am very happy with the result and am trying to only weigh once or twice a week.</p> <p>My goal this week is to run twice, and incorporate activity into at least two more days.</p> <p>How did your week go? Have you set any goals for this week? </p>
