The change in light levels has me feeling very low on energy. Finally back in the swing of things this week.</p> <p>Sally: Glad you got to wear your bikini! I didn't know it was possible to crave asparagus at 7:00 am, but your mention of fruits and veg has me wanting to find some fresh goodies today.</p> <p>Anne: Don't get discouraged, it's sounds like you focused on the more important things. Some weeks sleep and shortbread are win.</p> <p>Barbara Diane: You are funny! And kind not to tempt us. October-December is the season of temptation for sure!</p> <p>Shedev: Sorry to hear you were sick! I'm at impressed by your workout schedule-4 workouts doesn't sound modest to me!</p> <p>Kerlyn: Good on you for the excercise and getting back on track after the cereal binge I can't keep cereal in the house because I will finish the box in two days!</p> <p>MsMaven: I think we all can relate to those times when schedule makes it more challenging to excercise and eat right! Focusing on good food when you can sounds like a good strategy.</p> <p>Danusia: Sounds like you are really building some fitness with your consistency!</p> <p>Runcarla, have you heard of Phat Fudge? It's essentially a fat bomb and it has been a workout game-changer for me.

Have developed a bit of heel pain (plantar fasciitis) in my left foot. Probably due to lots of city walking - pavement, in very low/flat shoes. Wearing a modest heel, and more cushioning seems to help. </p> <p>Craving dairy hard post exercise. My fitness guru thinks I run better on fat than on carbs and to go with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-17-oct#post-1741854 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 20:21:52 +0000 Anonymous 1741854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a bout of TMJ (started in May) which severely limited my eating and exercising for a couple of months.Put on a few pounds and was unable to exercise during that time, but finally getting back into my routine after getting trigger point massage therapy for 3 months.</p> <p>Did not realize how weak my upper body, especially arms, had become since I was told not to do any upper body exercises until the problem was resolved. Slowly, but surely regaining muscle strength in the upper and lower body and happy that I only gained 5 pounds. Even though I am sore from exercising, I am thrilled that I do not tire as much as I did the past few months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-17-oct#post-1741771 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 17:15:47 +0000 MsMaven 1741771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for keeping this going. I've been gradually gaining weight and exercise has been erratic because of busy schedule. I do much better when life is simpler. I hope I've reversed the trend. I'm trying to eat better quality food.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-17-oct#post-1740800 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 22:02:56 +0000 kerlyn 1740800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did better over the weekend with workouts. &nbsp;Got in a run, weight lifting, and a short walk. &nbsp;Food wise, I've done fairly well. &nbsp;Well, except for Friday night. &nbsp;After dinner I was still hungry, so I had a bowl of cereal, which led to another bowl of cereal, and then some popcorn, and possibly a kit kat. &nbsp;Darn it. &nbsp;Oh well, back on track Saturday, and working on getting lots of veggies in. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-17-oct#post-1740595 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 14:32:32 +0000 shedev 1740595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I finally got my time managed to the point that I can resume my workouts. Then I came down with the flu. But I was a lot less hungry and did lose some weight. I'm working on building on it, and getting in a modest 4 workouts a week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-17-oct#post-1740519 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 07:31:26 +0000 Barbara Diane 1740519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I first listed what I ate this weekend as an example of how off track I am. But then I decided I don't want to tempt anyone/lead anyone astray.<br /> It has been a fun time, but I think being off schedule really doesn't help. Also need to want to be healthy more than to eat sweets and snacks. And prioritize fresh air and exercise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-17-oct#post-1740502 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 04:45:02 +0000 anne 1740502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good work Sally.</p> <p>Not so good here. 2 gym workouts last week and one ride to work (but not home). Very busy&nbsp; (though with great&nbsp;and worthwhile things) and tiredness has meant sleep has triumphed over exercices (including my physio ones) in the little time I've had.</p> <p>Weight is up and healthy eating not so good (again)</p> <p>ETA - almost forgot the really low point for me. I spent my day off on Thursday cooking for a cake stall for school. 3 batches of gluten free shortbread. I could have&nbsp;baked other things, but &nbsp;I forgot my usual practice of not cooking things that need rolling out and cutting (so timeconsuming) and&nbsp;&nbsp;so stood up for ages and got tired out. (Also had to individually wrap them but I did&nbsp;sit down for that) </p> <p>&nbsp;Plus I ate WAY to much shortbread mixture and&nbsp;broken ones etc... Did not feel good at the end of that day!</p> <p></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-17-oct#post-1740491 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 03:27:16 +0000 Sal 1740491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has been a good-ish week for me. &nbsp;Lots of exercise (two walks, two gym sessions, lots of gardening, one bike ride)..and eating whole foods/healthy produce. &nbsp;Oranges are good right now, I had my first asparagus of the season, and some lovely fennel too. &nbsp;</p> <p>Goal at the moment is to be active, eat whole foods and keep the sugar low. &nbsp;I am doing well at these things without being an absolute champion.....</p> <p>Even wore the new bikini in the weekend!</p>
