During the week, I either cook something quick after I get home from work, or I start the crockpot when I go home for lunch and then fix a side dish to go with it after I get home from work. The more time-consuming recipes are reserved for weekends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-25#post-1775397 Tue, 07 Feb 2017 02:59:41 +0000 JAileen 1775397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still eating healthy. I'm avoiding alcohol, white flour, sugar and potatoes. My exercise is walking the dogs one to two times a day. (Yes, they're spoiled.)</p> <p>The Super Bowl is usually an eating event, but we only had pistachio nuts, and then homemade chicken vegetable soup for dinner.</p> <p>Maneera, we eat lots of cauliflower, too, in lieu of potatoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-25#post-1775376 Tue, 07 Feb 2017 02:13:57 +0000 anne 1775376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back to my routine of 2 gym visits (mostly weights) and 3 runs a week. The latter is harder with the heat, but there are training advantages to running in warmer weather so I'm pressing on. I added one yoga session back in last week. Hadn't done it for over a year and found it hard, but was surprised that I wasn't sore the next day. </p> <p>I was also riding my bike to work a couple of times a week, but got a flat that has put me out of action til DH fixes it. I love riding so I hope he'll get to it today.</p> <p>I'd like to add a pilates session, (my physio says it'd be good for me) but since I can't make my gym's one, and don't want to pay for one elsewhere, I&nbsp; have planned to try out various internet ones tailored for runners. Only tried one so far! Would love to hear recommendations. I have done pilates mat classes in the past before, so I know the genera idea.</p> <p>I still haven't lost my Christmas induced weight or regained my discipline. I think it is partially because I am in my personally acceptable weight zone, not over it, like I was in October. It is hard to be as motivated, though I do prefer to be at the bottom. Probably, like last time, I need to work out when my next appraisal at the gym is and work to that. I'd rather go into winter a little lighter as I always go up a bit in the cold.</p> <p>Oh, and I'm experimenting with berry and spinach smoothies, to try to get my vegie intake up. I never had smoothies much because I detest bananas!&nbsp; My results are drinkable but not really very tasty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-25#post-1775203 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 19:35:00 +0000 Angie 1775203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Walk with Sam daily. Walk for work (I shop!). Yoga 4 times a week. Meals are very healthy OUR way. LOTS of fun cooking at the Cox Castle. Trying new recipes and loving the results.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-25#post-1774948 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 02:21:48 +0000 Maneera 1774948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Getting by as planned. 5 Zumba classes a week. 2 Tabata workout (on the days I don't have Zumba). </p> <p>A brisk evening walk (though I have to confess, this is more for 'getting out of the house' than anything else ) </p> <p>I think the amount of cardio I do is more than enough. I made real progress in diet. Eating very few carbs now and what I do eat, comes from veggies. I do eat carbs post workout though. </p> <p>I'm enjoying cooking again. I shared the link on my old post, but here it is again - <a href="http://www.edify.net.au/low_carb_recipes_list.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.edify.net.au/low_carb_recipes_list.php</a></p> <p>I highly recommend the cauliflower rice with curry dishes! Just yum. Has become a staple in my household. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-25#post-1774943 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 02:04:16 +0000 Carla 1774943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PF is gradually letting up and I did my first (short) run since November -so I'm feeling more the thing. </p> <p>GF, this week was about form for me as well. DS#2 is a stickler for good form, and has picked up that my ankle ROM is poor (probably from a history of ankle sprains experienced while running)! I sometimes weight forward on my toes, lifting my heels during squats. So, he's got me doing high rep (4X 10-15) goblet squats after my strong lift squats. It's like ballet plies, without the turnout. Talk about quad burn! </p> <p>More than a few glasses of wine Saturday. DH asked me if my Chakras were out of whack this morning! I did some atoning in the gym. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-25#post-1774897 Sun, 05 Feb 2017 23:18:42 +0000 Sal 1774897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ticking along here- three walks, two<br /> Gym workouts and two runs. Running is slow but I keep on keeping on!</p> <p>Lots of fruit and vege!! A few glasses of wine:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-25#post-1774766 Sun, 05 Feb 2017 18:06:11 +0000 gradfashionista 1774766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What healthy habits did you pick up, resume, or maintain this week?</p> <p>I worked out daily, doing my squat and bench. Daily maxes were 195lb and one 200lb for squat, 135b-145lb for bench.   </p> <p>Overall, I felt a bit weak and inconsistent, which gave me an opportunity to think about form. I'll spare you the particular details, but I'm happily still learning a lot from failures about what contributes to a strong, confident lift. Tension is paramount, of course, but there are so many minor things, like width of foot placement, foot angle, width of hand placement, lat tightness, glute tightness, depth, etc., that it can take awhile to understand why you fail--miss reps--when you do.</p> <p>Meals are remarkably unremarkable. Grilled fish and veggies, protein wafer and/or chocolate as a treat, nuts, soft-boiled eggs on brown rice cakes. I feel uninspired to cook at the moment but am quite comfortable in this routine. Oh, and sugarless baklava.  IT EXISTS. It's made from maltitol (so not super diabetic friendly), but it isn't too sweet. More nutty. If they had used butter, it would've been even better. </p>
