Tony goes home on Sunday and we will be eating at all his faves over the next two days so both lunch and dinner out.  I will try to be careful.  He thinks my hips and legs are tighter from all the walking but I am not sure.  Yesterday we walking for a few miles in the water.  It was quite the workout since the undertow created a lot of resistance and the need to use the core for stability.  My kind of exercise.

Turned the corner Monday. shipskitty on "Healthy Habits 1/25" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-125#post-1433613 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 10:51:41 +0000 shipskitty 1433613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ok week for sticking with better food choices despite the long weekend and still taking a salad for lunch each day so slowly losing my holiday bonus. Terrible week for exercise though. Wasn't 100% well this week (thanks DS for sharing!) so it fell off my list of priorities. Onwards and upwards though. Next week will be better. Alasse - hope you are feeling better. Kiwigal I have read about how stress can mess with your bodies metabolism. I find that for me stress makes me more likely to comfort eat. But there is definitely a threshold where if I cross it I am so knotted up that I can't eat and lose my appetite altogether. Not a happy place to be.  anne on "Healthy Habits 1/25" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-125#post-1433596 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 10:15:13 +0000 anne 1433596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shedev - no. I don't like bread much and only have the occasional slice of GF buckwheat bread. GF pasta maybe once a week. I do eat GF weetbix a few times a week.  So hot here that exercise is going by the by!! 35 and Humid shedev on "Healthy Habits 1/25" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-125#post-1432100 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 23:43:40 +0000 shedev 1432100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Alasse, sorry to hear you are under the weather. Sending you healing vibes. Style Fan, sounds like you are still fitting in more exercise than most would during travel. Anne, are you using a lot of GF products like pasta or breads? A lot of them have as many or more calories than the gluten filled ones. I tend to use them pretty sparingly. Citygirl DC, great first week back. Yeah, we lose fitness fast. It takes 2 weeks to lose the benefits of 1 week of exercise. Diane G, nice plan. You can always add more later as you want. Kiwigal, it asually does come down to the basics although the groundbreaking stuff is much more exciting.

I did indulge with wine and tiramisu at a friend's place- but to me that is the point of being healthy 80% of the time, being able to indulge occasionally. Late last year I got the food treats wrong and was indulging too often - not walking enough, and being stressed out made the weight cling on!!  This was despite doing lots of gym work. There is a NZ author in the health field called Dr Libby and she thinks being stressed makes it harder to lose weight.  In my case I am sure that is correct - I know others who get a stomach in knots when stressed and who forget to eat.  She also talks about the importance of breathing, alcohol free days and green vege.  Nothing ground breaking but all good stuff!

For me that's a huge step. I have a different mindset now and really feel like I will stick with it. Lots of healthy meals too. citygirldc on "Healthy Habits 1/25" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-125#post-1431953 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 19:32:26 +0000 citygirldc 1431953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The last few weeks have been a dud. I've been tracking what I've been eating but no exercise since I had was sick last week.  I've cut down on my wine intake to having a  glass ever other day and trying to get my veggies and fruits in. My goals for the week:  <ul> <li>Mon: HIIT class - I was so winded in class today I couldn't keep up.  Apparently, one CAN lose fitness in 2 weeks. Ugh!</li> <li>Tues: Run 5 miles</li> <li>Wed: TRX class plus short run</li> <li>Thur: Run 5 miles</li> <li>Fri: HITT class</li> </ul> anne on "Healthy Habits 1/25" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-125#post-1431589 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 01:44:44 +0000 anne 1431589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have been not posting here for a while - but I think I need to. I have had a month between jobs, which was lovely and a much needed break and family time, but I am not very self controlled at eating when I am home all the time, and not that great at exercising in the hot Australian summer. And I really need to lose a couple of kilos or some of my work wardrobe (which is on the minimal side as it is) won't fit. Or some of my casual wardrobe, for that matter. And having both reached a certain age, and now eating gluten free as a celiac (once your gut heals, it absorbs more nutrients), it is getting harder to lose weight.  I did a lot of walking in Melbourne, but no other exercise last week. Planning to go to the gym today...

Run Carla, great that you enjoyed the yoga. Ms. Maven, great job staying with the plan.

Kept food diary, did exercise of some kind every day, and my jeans all fit, although some still not 100%. And a week of no wine or alcohol. I spend a lot of time in front of my computer (2 articles accepted but need to do some revision.) I drink a lot of water, which means I have to get up more often, and then the cats nag me to play with them every so often. Since I keep them indoors, I feel obliged to give them some exercise time. Good for me too. This week more of the same with a couple of events to look forward to. Also, with the warm weather, I'm getting out summery clothes and trying them on, inspiring me to keep on track.  Carla on "Healthy Habits 1/25" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-125#post-1431063 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 01:28:41 +0000 Carla 1431063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A bit of a stressful week, during which I consciously cancelled a workout and went to a fancy pastry place and had a slice of cake and a cup of coffee,instead! I did 2 runs, 2 swims, 1 bike, and tried out a 'yoga for runners' class. Never did yoga before, and LOVED the class! I am committed to becoming a regular! Food was excellent! DH and DS did very well with their cooking responsibilities! amiable on "Healthy Habits 1/25" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-125#post-1431049 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 00:47:31 +0000 amiable 1431049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A good week for me, I've worked hard with my diet on this meltdown challenge, and seen results.  This next week I'm thinking I should amp up the exercise a bit too.  I'm currently doing one 15 minute workout in the morning (JessicaSmithTV).  She's rather light-weight right now, and I'm thinking that I should add in one of her more advanced and/or longer workouts too.  We'll see if that happens (I thought the same thing last week, but didn't act on it) shedev on "Healthy Habits 1/25" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-125#post-1431031 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 00:16:30 +0000 shedev 1431031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I had a good week with food.PN hasn't been hard to follow so far. Ok week for exercise. My body wants to hover around a couple pound range. How was your week?
