Both problems were solved in less than a month! I made some changes in the way I eat also and I feel great! citygirldc on "Healthy Habits- 10/12" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits--1012#post-1376342 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 15:02:56 +0000 citygirldc 1376342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ 6 more weeks until my half marathon. My knee gave me trouble after my long run on Sunday and may have overdone the run since I hadn't ran prior. I managed a 5 miler yesterday with no problems and am glad about that.  My goal is to lose 10 lbs. by the end of the year.  I lost 2.2 lbs last week although I'm hesitant to weigh in today since I overdosed on sodium the past few days.  I think I'll wait until Friday. shedev on "Healthy Habits- 10/12" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits--1012#post-1375229 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 20:58:54 +0000 shedev 1375229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Marley, boot camp sounds hard, but fun. Style Fan, I hope your hip feels better soon. Run Carla, Great week, Enjoy the holiday.

Good thing, 'cause it is the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, with all that entails!

Haven't had either for exactly one week now.   On the work-out front, I made it to BootCamp 4 times this week.  All of the work-outs felt great (afterwards) but were killer while I was doing them.  I really can't wait until I start seeing/feeling like I'm getting into a little better shape.  I mean I would really like to spend the last 10 minutes of BootCamp enjoying myself, rather than fighting to keep from puking!  ;-) shedev on "Healthy Habits- 10/12" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits--1012#post-1374669 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 01:06:57 +0000 shedev 1374669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Mo, how are you settling in? Interesting about the altitude. Kiwigal, sounds like you made your goal.  Ms. Maven, I'm sure the cruise weight will come off fast, hope your back feels better. MsMaven on "Healthy Habits- 10/12" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits--1012#post-1374495 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 20:36:41 +0000 MsMaven 1374495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Back yesterday from 10-day cruise to Mexico. We were second ship to dock at Cabo San Lucas post hurricane. The Coral Princess stopped Oct 2 and we aboard the Star Princess were October 2. Actually, no dock, it is a tender port. Our ship carried 20 palettes of food, bottled water, medicine and diapers for the folks in Cabo. The supplies had to be unloaded onto boats and carried to land and unloaded again. The Captain said volunteers did the unloading, which I took to mean both crew and some passengers. That made us feel good. The city isn't up for much tourism yet and I'm afraid that the tourists didn't spend a lot of money there, although passengers were anxious to help the locals if they could. Anyway--6 days at sea and only 4 ports. I meant to check out the fitness center but didn't make it. I'll post photos another day.  Just to say it was very hot and incredibly humid and not conducive to doing much. I tried to be moderate in eating but drank a lot of wine and gasp--Amaretto every evening. (My friend calls Amaretto and Frangelico "liquid candy." Normally I only drink it around New Years. Salty food, carbs and fat, so gained 4 1/2 pounds--it could have been much worse. I expect the weight to drop quickly if I get right back. DH gained 5 pounds and ate 2-3 times as much as I did, but he started out weighing a lot more. We are both motivated. I strained my back before going and so tried to take it easy and will do so the next day. I was doing some last minute gardening before we left and overdid it. So next week: rest, watch food intake, and gradually move back to exercises.  Sal on "Healthy Habits- 10/12" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits--1012#post-1374475 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 20:09:48 +0000 Sal 1374475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A good week for me. I had a minor freak out when I realised two occasion wear dresses were too tight. So I was great with no sugar or alcohol til the weekend. And I was very moderate then too. Did three gym sessions, good walk with a friend and hiked up 1200 steps nearby to a lookout. Goal is to always look for healthy choices and fit in more incidental exercise on my bike and on foot. In spring this is easier.

Less cheese, more veggies. Now that fall is here, how are you adjusting your exercise?
