I got in two weight sessions and two, 40 minute hikes on hilly terrain. I've been limiting my wine to just one glass a night and that in itself has made a real difference for me. Just 200 calories a night extra for 30 days can add up to nearly 2 pounds! I'm drinking more lemon-aide (made with real organic lemons and no sugar, or maybe sometimes a little honey). Oh and I've really been trying to add more fiber - madarin oranges for "dessert" are highly recommended. And I make these "hippie" cookies with a lot of flaxseeds, oats and sunflower seeks in them. Great for a snack.&nbsp; I've also been limiting our meals to reduce potatoes and bread more than usual. My clothes are feeling just a little loose, in a good way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-412#post-1474869 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:25:11 +0000 AM 1474869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>shedev:&nbsp;</b>Thanks for your support!

And I owe it all to "Spring Cleaning"! Lots of furniture to move around while cleaning and getting stuff ready for donations. Also cleaning out my in laws house for double the workout. According to my FitBit I have been averaging 30 stairs and 20,000 steps a day. Now that the weather has vastly improved my spring cleaning continues outside, plus I may sneak in a few bike rides while I am at it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-412#post-1474276 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 15:18:34 +0000 kellygirl 1474276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My weight is up a few pounds but only noticeable on the scale (at least from what I can tell.) I have been exercising in fits and starts and am trying to be more consistent. On a positive note, DDs have agreed to try and eat healthier for 30 days and not complain about my cooking! This means more vegetable based dinners. I'm very excited and hope that they can stick with it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-412#post-1473957 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 00:41:26 +0000 MsMaven 1473957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not doing that well. Two weeks ago I was almost at my goal weight but I've been hungry and something has happened to my metabolism. So I've gained a bit of weight and have some aches and pains from doing some light gardening--although nothing like I use to do.&nbsp;</p> <p>I did start up yoga again. I stopped because it was irritating the knee OA, but since the gardening did that anyway, and I had a lot of morning stiffness, I decided what the heck. And guess what? I am doing better--back and knee not so achy and less morning stiffness. Also, I'm done with gardening for now.&nbsp;<br />I'm also determined to keep the food diary--this is important for me to keep on track, no matter how bad a particular day is.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-412#post-1473475 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 06:58:57 +0000 anne 1473475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last 4 days I have exercised every day, combo class at gym Fri, Spin class Sat, 8km race Sun and PT session today. I NEED a break tomorow! Prior to that just ran/jogged in a park run with DD7 and ran 7.5 km on Monday.</p> <p>Food and weight wise have been a total bust. With Easter (5 days off work&nbsp; with lots of baking) and then my birthday, I have been going back into some unhealthy patterns and need to change, especially since I went up around 5 pound in a week.&nbsp; Not sure if I can bring myself to go off dairy again, but am working up to cutting out sugar again (and maybe grains this time as well)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-412#post-1473351 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 00:22:29 +0000 shedev 1473351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla, I'm so happy that yoga is helping you feel better.</p> <p>AM, any gains will be temporary.

I'm Still doing my StrongLifts and will begin week 6 tomorrow. I don't see much difference in my body shape yet so I'll keep at it. Food intake ok. </p> <p>Today was race day at dc's famous cherry blossom festival 10 mile race. The day began with a beautiful crisp Spring morning and a 2 mile bike ride to the event. Then ran 10 miles by the full bloomed trees. My PR time was ok but I'd like to think it was a very crowded race. </p> <p>Rest of the week will be SL and bicycling for a while. Im taking a break from running. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-412#post-1473223 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 17:58:16 +0000 AM 1473223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two days of swimming and 1 day of weights. First week of incorporating weights. My goal is 3 days swimming/2 days weights. I saw my&nbsp;biggest weight loss yet. Down 5.5 pounds but am visiting family and then to celebrate my birthday at Historic Inn/Longwood Gardens. I'm sure I'll be up after these fun times! But progress. Thanks again for keeping my accountable.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-412#post-1473162 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 16:12:45 +0000 Carla 1473162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Returned to work after 2 weeks of vacation, but stayed on track. 5 runs (made up for a missed run last week), 2 swims, 1 bike, 2 yoga. Nutrition was good, but maybe a little carb dependant (DH cooking again). Getting home late from work (dinner at 7 pm) messes with my gastro, but keeping the meal small seems to help, and no snacking!</p> <p>Yoga is new to my regime since January. I never, EVER, did it before. Now, I feel compelled to attend classes because it is working miracles for me! After 3 years of dealing with right sided periformis issues (sciatica like pain) my symptoms completely disappeared after I took a 90 min. Hatha class! I experienced a mild return of symptoms after a double run day, but then they resolved again after the next yoga class. The 'yoga for runners' class is a great stretch and relaxation class and I have my best sleeps after the Tuesday night class, but the Hatha class is rehab magic! I just wish I could figure out which moves are responsible for the recovery so I could build them into my own routine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-412#post-1473119 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 14:20:34 +0000 shedev 1473119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well my habits weren't so healthy the first part of the week, but I got back on track in the second half. Weight held steady.</p> <p>How was your week?</p>
