So, now I keep a glass of ice water on my desk.</p> <p>Also made it to yoga twice this week.Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-516#post-1494195 Wed, 20 May 2015 19:26:14 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1494195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always been good about getting my workouts in and eating healthy meals in the proper portions.&nbsp; It's snacking that does me in. I used to eat cheese and crackers, m &amp; m's, trail mix, chips and salsa, cookies left over from work meetings, etc. whenever I felt like it thinking I worked out enough to offset it.&nbsp; Ha!&nbsp; At the beginning of the year I started adding more time to my cardio sessions, but it's not enough - got to watch what I eat too unfortunately.</p> <p>I've been carrying 5 to 10 extra pounds for about a year and finally decided to just focus and get rid of it.&nbsp; I started using a food and exercise tracking app on my Nook and it forces me to stay within my calorie limits instead of just guessing.&nbsp; I end up able to have maybe ONE snack a day, but not ALL THE SNACKS. It's been a week but I haven't weighed in yet.&nbsp; I'll check this weekend if I'm feeling brave.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-516#post-1494163 Wed, 20 May 2015 18:45:03 +0000 kellygirl 1494163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weight is stable--still on the higher end of normal. I'm on Day 16 of my running commitment. I've still not decided on my goals except for a minimum run of a mile a day. I've added in some random longer runs and they have been fine. Kettlebells 3x a week. Hope everyone else is plugging along too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-516#post-1493227 Mon, 18 May 2015 21:04:31 +0000 MsMaven 1493227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Five day trip to mid-west for family birthday and new baby celebrations. Ugh. Lots of desserts, wine, fat, salt and just too much eating. However, when I stepped on the scale this morning it wasn't too bad--just ten pounds up.</p> <p>No exercising either. Just lots of stress. &nbsp;</p> <p>I have a couple of weeks before the next trip, which won't be so centered around eating. Despite being worn out, I'm doing my best to get right back on track. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-516#post-1492985 Mon, 18 May 2015 02:10:26 +0000 Carla 1492985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Training on track for my events with the exception of swimming, but did a bonus 60K bike ride with DS#1. I'm having some sinus issues and not sure if it is related to a summer cold, or a tooth for which I will have a root canal on Tuesday. I just can't face the discomfort of swimming until this clears up.</p> <p>Food has been good. I have been experimenting with marinades and rubs on chicken and leaner cuts of meat Lots of salads and grilled veg. little to no gastro issues this week.</p> <p>Sleep hygiene could be better. I'm waking about 3 times per night. Usually after 1 hour's sleep (midnight) then 2am then 3am. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-516#post-1492901 Sun, 17 May 2015 21:35:47 +0000 Sal 1492901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last Wednesday I made some commitments to myself prompted by some jeans being particularly tight around the waist.</p> <p>1.No cheese as a snack between meals<br />2.No refined sugar in the week (Cake/chocolate/biscuits/fudge) - can have fresh fruit. Exception small amount brown sugar or honey on porridge. Very minimal dried fruit.<br />3.No sugary drinks<br />4. 5 lots exercise per week<br />5. Increase protein and vege content of meals.</p> <p>It was not 100% successful but overall everything was okay.</p> <p>1. I did eat cheese as a snack once.<br />2. From Wed to Friday I had no refined sugar, in the weekend I had one piece of cake (allowed)<br />3. I did have a glass of cranberry juice due to a UTI that flared up in the weekend - this contains sugar.<br />4. &nbsp;I pulled my hamstring at the gym on Friday so had Saturday off, then yesterday carted around lots of pavers for our backyard renovation which twinged it, so could not exercise. &nbsp;It was all right at the gym this morning. &nbsp;So I managed 4/5.<br />5. Did okay on this one, but still room for improvement.</p> <p>Onwards and upwards, will keep going. &nbsp;</p> <p>Good luck with the spring cleaning Shedev and well done Adelfa. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-516#post-1492633 Sun, 17 May 2015 04:05:27 +0000 Adelfa 1492633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My athletic niece crafted an exercise and nutrition plan last weekend at a big family gathering, and I have followed it exactly! The exercise part, anyway, and the food part mostly. I feel like I have a new lease on healthy living. Plus I got to spend time with my niece! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-516#post-1492574 Sun, 17 May 2015 00:50:28 +0000 shedev 1492574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not a great week for healthy eating.&nbsp;Hedev got me a gluten free cheesecake sampler and I couldn't resist. I'm getting a lot of extra exercise spring cleaning, including moving furnature.</p> <p>How was your week?</p>
