Chasing children can be its own form of exercise, just engage them in a little active play. I run around with my dogs some.</p> <p>Anne, I'm sure the weight is temporary.</p> <p>Robin, Nice reminder to drink lots of water.</p> <p>Runcarla, nice week of exercise, I love having lots of seasonal produce.</p> <p>Kellygirl, our week is supposed to get hot so I may be at the bare minimum this week, at least I can eat healthy.</p> <p>Smittie, kayaking is really great exercise. You are an awesome caregiver.</p> <p>Kiwigal, I'm sure 4 days cant do too much damage.</p> <p>MsMaven, I'm really happy that this thread is helpful to you, I've had soe sugar sneaking back in too.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-75#post-1515870 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 20:04:43 +0000 MsMaven 1515870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last week was so-so--I had to get off sugar after the trip. Eating better, and this week I plan to get back on a regular schedule for both meals and exercise, and drop the rest of the weight gained on the trip.&nbsp;</p> <p>Not sure--I think I've missed reporting in only once or twice in the last six months. This helps keep me honest and on track. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-75#post-1515865 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 19:53:41 +0000 Sal 1515865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On holiday here and being lazy, I usually exercise well when away but so far four days off. Home again tomorrow, so should be not too much damage done I hope! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-75#post-1515841 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 18:53:22 +0000 Anonymous 1515841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Robin, yes, I do get exercise with the kids. Last week I actually went kayaking with them and visited some caves. Funny that I forget that this is exercise too </p> <p>I like your water-at-desk strategy. I'm going to do a soda-water-at-desk strategy and see how that works out (we have a pop dispenser here). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-75#post-1515812 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 17:17:25 +0000 kellygirl 1515812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got in the bare minimum of exercise last week. It was unusually hot and I was more fatigued than usual so I took it easy. Got my first run of the week in today and am hoping to be more consistent. Hope everyone has a good week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-75#post-1515571 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 03:43:02 +0000 Carla 1515571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Easy week with 4 runs and one yoga, but ended it with participation in an Aquathlon - commonly referred to as a 'Surf and Turf' - sprint distance - 750m swim, 5k run. </p> <p>Food was good. Locally grown fruits and veg are now available, and with a couple of extra days off, I experimented with some new marinades and B-B-Q combinations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-75#post-1515570 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 03:42:38 +0000 Robin 1515570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shedev: Glad you had fun at your cookout. Having fun, spending time with people who's company we enjoy, relaxing...are all things that help us deal with stress; dealing with stress is a healthy habit! :)</p> <p>Cheryle: Maybe you're eating just the right amount of fruit for your snacks for *your* body. Even if the plan calls for less fruit, everyone's body, and what each person needs at any given time, is different. :)</p> <p>Smittie: Not sure how young the children are, but are they old enough to do activities with you that have you at least moving around, (playing age appropriate active games, for example)? It's not structured exercise, but all activity is a good thing.</p> <p>As to me: I did pretty well this past week. Keeping up on my commitment to keep a glass of ice water next to me while I work at my computer. Also ate lots of fiber-rich foods, plenty of fruit, though not as many veggies as i usually like. ate out a fair bit this week, but made sure to have nutrient-rich food each time. Tonight was ice cream, but I chose the coconut milk vegan option rather than the dairy, mainly because my body has been telling me it's enough with the dairy (low-fat cottage cheese and yogurt) already.</p> <p>It's been too hot to want to exercise much. My partner and I got out for walks all three days this weekend, and I've been doing short bursts of exercise when I think of it - doing sets of squats, holding a forearm plank as long as possible, things like that.

And I'm sure 4th July indulgence is expected Shedev</p> <p>I both over ate and ate way too much sugar, as it was DD's birthday and I made a salted caramel cake for the party, cupcakes for the class and meat in a sweet sauce and sticky date pudding (her requests)&nbsp;for her actual birthday!</p> <p>Not surprisingly I have ended up at a weight not previously encountered unless a baby was involved!<br />I have taken action and decided to cut out sugar, grains and dairy (except in social situations)&nbsp;for 2 months or until I reach my weight goal.<br />I have joined the gym and plan to start exercising tomorrow ( I took a week off after going too strong on my free trial the previous week)</p> <p>Am down a kilo already, though that was probably just carb bloat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-75#post-1515521 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 01:28:37 +0000 Anonymous 1515521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Shedev - Do you post one of these once a week?&nbsp;<br />I didn't overeat this week, but didn't eat particularly well. Lots of carbs, not enough veggies.&nbsp;<br />I got in 1 yoga session this week (yesterday), but plan to do at least 2 more before Friday. It was a good session: lots of freaking push ups, and I'm sore!<br />Because I have a week-on/week-off schedule with the kids (young children), I don't get much exercise on the weeks I have them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-75#post-1515506 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 00:47:32 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1515506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shedev, there is always room for improvement. &nbsp;The fact that we are trying is what counts. &nbsp;:)</p> <p>I just checked and did my run/walk of 5.4 miles 5 times this week. &nbsp;That is exceptionally good for me. &nbsp;I usually shoot for 3-4. &nbsp;I am still on the whole 30 and have a week to go. &nbsp;I have followed the rule and not weighed in the time I have been on it. &nbsp;I haven't eaten any non-compliant foods either but have been eating a fair bit of fruit as snacks and the plan suggests avoiding snacks. &nbsp;Nobody is perfect. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-75#post-1515490 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 23:23:20 +0000 shedev 1515490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had a fun but indulgent 4th of July cookout. Back to healthy eating as soon as I finish the leftovers. Exercise was ok but there is room for improvement. How was your week? </p>
