It paid off when I weighed in this morning and saw a 2.2 lbs. loss. It was a nice surprise. My goal is to lose 7-10 lbs. by the new year. I think it can be done.</p> <p>Meanwhile, I have the Philly half marathon coming up at the end of November&nbsp;and this week's training has been bad. &nbsp;Tomorrow is another day. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-105#post-1371470 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 20:12:04 +0000 Style Fan 1371470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shedev thanks for the confidence booster.&nbsp; Everyone at the Yoga studio (where C3 and Barre Fitness classes are offered)&nbsp;is very supportive of each other whether we are going to enter the Ironman competition.&nbsp; I need to remind myself that they are focusing on themselves in C3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-105#post-1371384 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 17:29:49 +0000 shedev 1371384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alasse, I'll send you a little of my fall.</p> <p>Kiwigal, I,m starting to take a little melatonin and it is really improving my sleep. I had to purge most of my sweaters a while back because I gained just enough size in the shoulders to make them snug.</p> <p>Elly, I hope you are feeling better, take care of yourself.</p> <p>Runcarla, sounds like you are getting sorted, awesome.</p> <p>Kellygirl, I never have time to get sick, guess I'm not allowed. Hope you are feeling better.</p> <p>Mo, that was really ambitious. You cant separate me from the recliner after my moves.</p> <p>Textile, but... everythings better with bacon, JK.</p> <p>Style Fan, Great fitness plan. I'm sure no one else at C3 is thinking then there's you. Don't think it either.</p> <p></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-105#post-1371365 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 17:04:24 +0000 Style Fan 1371365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like to join in on this post if that is okay.&nbsp; I do yoga everyday (Power and Flow).&nbsp; Power is very vigorous and is a real workout.&nbsp; I needed to build some strength after years of&nbsp;not doing too much.&nbsp; I walk everyday as well.&nbsp; Last week I did C3&nbsp;and Barre Fitness for the first time.&nbsp; C3 is Core Cardio conditioning.&nbsp; Lots of squats, planks, etc.&nbsp; There are people training for the Ironman, Triathletes, Marathons at C3.&nbsp;&nbsp; And then there is me.&nbsp; Tough workout.&nbsp; Barre was pretty tough too.</p> <p>So my plan is to continue with Yoga everyday and add C3 once a week and Barre Fitness once a week.</p> <p>I am a vegetarian and we are moving towards a vegan diet.&nbsp; Doing pretty well on that front.&nbsp; Lots of planning though for meals.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-105#post-1370735 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 21:12:34 +0000 texstyle 1370735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We had some wonderful cool mornings last week and weekend so I got more hikes in than usual. Been having some shoulder pain form overdoing it on some other projects so I've taken a little break from the weights.&nbsp; I wish I could focus on stretching more - I'm so averse to moving slow/relaxing that I can barely force myself to do 5 mins. of stretching, let alone the 20 mins. that I could likely use. I think at home we've been on some sort of weird bacon fest. Today I used self control and absolutely refused bacon at breakfast (even though DH had cooked up a huge batch and it was "ready to go" in the fridge). Repeat to self "Bacon is not good." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-105#post-1370728 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 21:05:12 +0000 Mo 1370728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lifted the morning of the move. Then biked 6 miles yesterday to Oktoberfest.<br /> Relaxing today. Might run or bike tomorrow. Bfn should arrive home late Tue. Then I'll have wheels to get groceries. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-105#post-1370464 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 14:54:57 +0000 kellygirl 1370464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been busy and barely peeking my head in around here. Funny how I succumbed to a bug once I knew that I had "time" to get sick. The last week or two the only exercise I've been getting is walking the dog. Started back on weights Friday and am on track again. My weight is in the lower normal range so that's good. All in all, I can't complain. Hope everyone has a great week.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-105#post-1370321 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 05:37:10 +0000 Carla 1370321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joined the gym in the shopping concourse right under the building where I work. Assessment and orientation on Monday and workouts Tuesday through Friday this week. I can get in a 2-3 mile treadmill run and a quick hit of core work and/or stretching before a shower and RTW. Felt much more like my regular self this week, though my abs were a little sore! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-105#post-1370307 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 04:30:10 +0000 Sal 1370307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear that Elly...sounds like TLC is in order this week. &nbsp;It is so hard when things stack up like that.</p> <p>Well done Marley.</p> <p>I just had an emotional setback...I tried on a couple of formal pieces that I rarely wear after thinking about Joy's thread in the main forum. &nbsp;They were too tight.</p> <p>I suspected that could be the case in the shoulders as I have been working out a lot and have more muscles. &nbsp;But they were also too tight in the waist, upper hip area. &nbsp;So I think the fashion for loose/flowing/boyfriend fit has made me a little too relaxed and I have not realised that I have thickened up through the middle. &nbsp;On the positive side I am healthy.</p> <p>It is spring here so I need to be a little less indulgent, keep up the exercise and watch the eating.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-105#post-1370292 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 04:02:17 +0000 Marley 1370292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to jump in on these threads again. &nbsp;After only haphazardly exercising over the past 6 months, I signed up yesterday for a 'Game-Changer' challenge at my Boot Camp. &nbsp;I got myself weighed and measured and took a fitness test - went shopping today for my meals for the next week and am ready to go in the morning! &nbsp;Gulp! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-105#post-1370263 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 03:19:09 +0000 Elly 1370263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This has been a really hard week for me. A particularly stressful meeting and the blowout the following day (after a week of stressful meetings, someone moving into my home unexpectedly, and the SO having major work stress) caused a serious flare up of my illness. I desperately need to get back into some form of exercise, but I also need some TLC-- unfortunately my worst flares are like a flu-like illness with the aches and pains and fatigue but always affects systems the flu never touches, like the bladder! Woe is me (jk, of course)! That said, I need a flu shot and I'm going to try to drink less coffee, sleep more, take my vitamins and anti-inflamatories, drink more water, and take a few walks this week. Once I get myself back on track I can build back up to what I really want to be doing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-105#post-1370136 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 00:22:47 +0000 Sal 1370136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay on the exercise front, not so special on the food front. &nbsp;Seems to be a regular refrain. &nbsp;It is supposed to be spring here but it is very chilly outside with galeforce winds.</p> <p>On the positive slide I am sleeping very well!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-105#post-1369986 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 20:29:04 +0000 Alassë 1369986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plenty warm enough - we need more fall in our area.&nbsp;<br />I've banned push-ups till my wrist gets better. Here's hoping it heals quickly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-105#post-1369953 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 19:55:08 +0000 shedev 1369953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gotta post and run today. I had an ok week. Could have been better. Real fall just hit here. Is everybody staying warm?</p>
