I've decided to start down the road of the paleo diet. I've done it for a little bit at a time in the past, and have really liked it. I'm definitely a 'meat and veggies' girl for losing weight, as opposed to someone who responds well to the low fat approach. I struggle with it a bit, because I'm on a student budget, and meat is more expensive than veggies around where I am. I could do a chickpea curry for a fraction of the cost of a chicken breast and broccoli. &nbsp;That, and I'm enough of an environmentalist to appreciate the costs of factory farming (both to the environment and the animals themselves).&nbsp;</p> <p>In the end, though, my body doesn't do well on carbs and sugar.&nbsp;So, I guess the best I can do is say 'I'm making these decisions with my eyes open'. Wish me luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-928#post-1365517 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 19:32:58 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1365517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy b-day shedev! And congrats on the submission, MsMaven. </p> <p>I slept in today and missed my bootcamp class. In my defense, my DH got back late last night from a boys' long weekend in Las Vegas. I could sign up for tomorrow morning's class but it's taught by a different teacher and that always takes some interpersonal juice to deal with, something I don't really have first thing in the morning. Ugh.</p> <p>I hope you guys don't mind me mentioning some goals that are health-related but not food or exercise - I'm really wanting to get better at flossing more often, and all that teeth-maintenance stuff. So I brushed, flossed and did a whitening rinse this morning after breakfast. One day down... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-928#post-1365425 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 16:35:21 +0000 Alassë 1365425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, Peri! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-928#post-1365413 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 16:17:44 +0000 Peri 1365413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Checking back in...I've been following, just trying not to type too much. Plus nothing to report...same holding pattern. But...I have finally had a weekend where I didn't gain back the same 2-3 pounds I lost during the week!! So this week should be able to show some more progress...I've lost 3 of the 5 I was wanting to lose.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-928#post-1365361 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 15:08:36 +0000 anne 1365361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday Shevdev,</p> <p>I am down a little weight but succumbed eating wise to PMS, and to enjoying all the lovely food DH and I had at a marriage retreat we went to&nbsp; last week.</p> <p>Also, am down with a head cold which set in just after I had my first run for some time. So no exercise for awhile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-928#post-1365137 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 05:27:27 +0000 MsMaven 1365137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another week of barely maintaining. I've been sitting in front of the computer way too much, but this evening I sent off an article to submit to a history journal--three years in the writing! Big sigh of relief. It's been an intense week.</p> <p>Happy birthday shedev! I thank you for keeping the healthy habits thread going. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-928#post-1365120 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 04:15:33 +0000 Jeanie 1365120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Birthday ShevDev! &nbsp;I am trying to amp up my exercise because clearly my metabolism has pooped out and I now have a belly. &nbsp;I've never had one and it is weird and in my way. &nbsp;I am going back to once a week yoga (which I love but just was too lazy to drive there)&nbsp;and adding more cardio and strength training. &nbsp;I heard a trainer say that strength training is the only way to change up your genetic tendencies so I feel hopeful. &nbsp;I am also trying to eat less meat to be healthier and I think it's better for our planet. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-928#post-1365089 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 02:50:48 +0000 Sal 1365089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Birthday Shedev. &nbsp;I will be 45 next year:)</p> <p>Congratulations to Janet, that is a great distance. &nbsp;Injuries are so frustrating Alasse, and your commute does make it hard Runcarla. &nbsp;You are doing well Mo considering how busy you must be before your move.</p> <p>I have had a good exercise week with four good workouts. &nbsp;And lots of party dancing.</p> <p>However I fell off the wagon with eating and ate A LOT of chocolate. &nbsp;It is foolish as it did not really agree with me afterwards. &nbsp;I am not usually a binger but I did binge on chocolate. &nbsp;I need to be stronger than that.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-928#post-1365041 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 01:46:39 +0000 shedev 1365041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, sounds&nbsp;like your life is very busy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-928#post-1365025 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 01:14:33 +0000 Mo 1365025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday! &nbsp;And congrats again to Janet! &nbsp;<br />I had a good week with workouts. &nbsp;No swims. &nbsp;I thought about it once or twice, with yesterday being my last attempt but it was grey skies and so I packed up my swim goggles.&nbsp;<br />Did lift 3 times, ran 2 or 3(?) and biked once. &nbsp;I stopped keeping records with the juggle of the move. &nbsp;I have been eating plenty and there's been wine. &nbsp;But, I am staying just below 123 for now. &nbsp;Been struggling with that number for a couple of months. &nbsp;I anticipate a few pounds down once I get home. &nbsp;Historically, that's what happens. &nbsp;<br />Had some goodies out watching football today, but hit the gym to lift first. &nbsp;Planning a run tomorrow. &nbsp;More of the same up until Saturday when I fly out. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-928#post-1364912 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 21:07:03 +0000 shedev 1364912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alasse, I hope your hand feels better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-928#post-1364862 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 19:38:51 +0000 Alassë 1364862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A very happy birthday to you, Shedev! Enjoy your celebration!</p> <p>I somehow hurt my hand, so that's thrown a monkey wrench in my workouts. Walks are going well, however.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-928#post-1364790 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 16:46:55 +0000 shedev 1364790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like&nbsp;a great solution, Carla. At least for the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-928#post-1364756 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 15:57:19 +0000 Carla 1364756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey! Happy birthday Shedev! Also, seconding the big congrats to Janet on her Century ride!</p> <p>Still dealing with a 12 hour day with work and commute, so not up to standards of pre-relocation workouts. The gorgeous weather has supported really enjoyable weekend runs/bikes, but it is getting dark earlier in the pm, and I don't get home until 7pm week nights and eat dinner late.</p> <p>Friday I signed up with a small gym in the concourse under the building in which I work. Cardio machines, yoga and Pilates are available. I start lunch time workouts Monday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-928#post-1364734 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 15:24:52 +0000 shedev 1364734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, A hundred congratulations to Janet for her completion of the century ride.</p> <p>I turned 45 today. With all the celebrating going on it wasn't a great week for health and exercise. I'm back at it tomorrow, but today it is bbq for an unseasonably gorgeous day for late September. A girl's gotta live a little.</p> <p>How was your week.</p>
