Congratulations and have a wonderful trip.</p> <p>Ms Maven, its a very challenging time of year, I think maintaining thru December is good. Hope your travels are a lot of fun.</p> <p>I'm sidelined with the flu this week, so no exercise but food doesn't really taste like anything so I'm not tempted to overeat.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-1214#post-1412872 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 17:13:42 +0000 MsMaven 1412872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations dianthus! Slow and steady worked well for you.</p> <p>I'm late checking in this week, but I think I've only missed once or twice this whole year and don't want to quit now.</p> <p>Christmas baskets, boxes of See's chocolates in the mail--a challenging time of year. I'm managing to maintain, but at about 4-5 pounds above my goal. Dark rainy days don't inspire me to move around, but hooray for the rain! I'm not walking at much, but have resumed regular workout schedule.&nbsp;</p> <p>Next week comes the big challenge: holiday travel.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-1214#post-1412734 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 10:37:26 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1412734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello healthy fabbers. &nbsp;I am up at 4:00 so thought I would read YLF. &nbsp;I haven't posted on this thread in a while now. &nbsp;I had sciatic nerve issues off and on since February so have focused on diet. &nbsp;I completely cut out carbs for about 4 months and joined weight watchers a month ago. &nbsp;I was not too far from goal and admit I joined primarily to get my partner to go with me since he had gained a fair bit of weight over the last two years and his family has a history of heart disease and diabetes.</p> <p>We had our WW meeting last night and I was within the magic 2 lbs of goal weight. &nbsp;I have lost about 13 lbs since June. &nbsp;Slow and steady wins the race, right? &nbsp;I am leaving for Mexico in 18 days and have a new pair of running shoes ready to go. &nbsp;I usually walk between 8 and 12 miles per day while there and may pick up 10 lbs dumb bells and do a bit of exercise in the mornings to get started.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-1214#post-1412074 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 21:31:51 +0000 shedev 1412074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla, I have a lot of sleep problems too. Haven't found a solution yet.</p> <p>Deborah, of course you can join in. Walks can be such a great time to connect. Your coach is awesome.</p> <p>Alasse, so happy your wrist is healed.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-1214#post-1411787 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 13:24:15 +0000 Alassë 1411787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe not as good as could be (long weekend = exercise break), but I'm hoping to get back into the workout/walk routine again. My wrist ache is healed, however. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-1214#post-1411762 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 11:01:42 +0000 Deborah 1411762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May I join you??</p> <p>About a month ago I made some adjustments to my general diet and am feeling good. &nbsp;Clear headed and a lot more energy. &nbsp;And this week I have started walking. &nbsp;I am not a lover of exercise but I do enjoy a good walk, so Master 11 has appointed himself my 'coach' and we are walking together each night for approx 45 mins to an hour. &nbsp;Today was only our fourth walk but I believe I am already feeling the benefits.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-1214#post-1411705 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 04:43:38 +0000 Carla 1411705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 runs, 1 bike, 1 swim. Nutrition was very good. Sleep hygiene not so much. First 2 nights were okay, but frequent waking followed. I stayed out of the fridge (I have a new dental plane/guard that helps!) but did check the computer once or twice. </p> <p>This coming week the challenge will be to get to the gym, and the parties are starting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-1214#post-1411539 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 23:05:45 +0000 shedev 1411539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, great to enjoy the break in the weather.</p> <p>Kiwigal, we all get a little of that at the holidays. Have a great time in Chile.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-1214#post-1411415 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 18:24:08 +0000 Sal 1411415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shedev for these threads.</p> <p>Few too many holiday parties around here, lots of wine and nibbles. Exercise okay but scope for improvement. </p> <p>We are off to Chile this week so I likely won't check in here much for the next few weeks. See you all in January! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-1214#post-1411411 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 18:17:05 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1411411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DH and I went for a long walk in a local park yesterday - probably a couple miles at least. It was nice to be out since we got a break from the rain. And he got a Fitbit monitor from his company as a Christmas gift and has given it to me. Anyone use any of the Fitbits or similar? It's one of the wrist ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-1214#post-1411159 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 01:19:17 +0000 shedev 1411159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Due to the wedding yesterday, I'm sure I'm up a couple lbs. It was a lot of fun. I got to see people I hadn't seen in a long time.</p> <p>My sister wants to start going to the gym&nbsp;with me. She tried this last year, but found the gym to be intimidating. She went for a few weeks and then said she&nbsp;was too fat for the gym. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she will like it more this time.</p>
