Just got in some yoga today, which I've put on the back burner too long. Good for you for battling back to fighting weight. I do the same, with indulging myself up a few pounds and then having to get back to business. I figure it's better to play around with 2 or 3 pounds rather than let it become a 5 or 10 lb battle! I could use some fresh summer produce in the house . . . thanks for the reminder </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-anyone-still-hanging-on#post-392868 Wed, 27 Jul 2011 22:00:34 +0000 Barbara 392868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Malina.</p> <p>I've been pretty good - the horribly hot weather here in NC has forced me to cancel my 2.5 mile around-the-neighborhood walks, but I just put more mileage on my elliptical. I was up two pounds from going semi-wild with carbs, but I managed to resist potato chips and dropped back down to my 'fighting weight.'<br /> It's easier to stay on track in summer, with all the fabulous fruits and veggies available.</p> <p>Khris is smart about her homemade goodies - I make low fat/low carb versions of carrot cake and blueberry muffins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-anyone-still-hanging-on#post-392799 Wed, 27 Jul 2011 19:38:21 +0000 Mo 392799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So congrats to Rae, Lynn, Mary and Brenda for keeping it together!! MaryK, I know what you mean about being sidelined and surprised with a loss at the end of it all - happened to me with my ankle months back. Makes no sense, but we'll take it, right?!<br /> Khris, I hope things continue to go well with all the baking - that would do me in for sure! As it is, I'm struggling a little with not being able to just run to the grocery when I want for things. I have to be more of a planner now that the BF and I are sharing a car.<br /> Polly and Anne, the good news is it's never too late to start again! I am finding a bit of a belly out of nowhere so I've added ab work to my nightly push up routine. It's a start. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-anyone-still-hanging-on#post-392796 Wed, 27 Jul 2011 19:33:23 +0000 Lynne 392796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>10, 000 cardio minutes for the year! Way to go, Brenda! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-anyone-still-hanging-on#post-391692 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 01:12:53 +0000 qfbrenda 391692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job, MaryK and Rae!</p> <p>I'm doing pretty well. I'm working toward my year goal of 10,000 cardio minutes for the year. I'm keeping track of those minutes at Sparkpeople.com. And my weight is holding steady. I've actually lost another 3-4 lbs from where I maintained for a few months and I like where I am better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-anyone-still-hanging-on#post-391674 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 00:02:07 +0000 anne 391674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too have fallen off the wagon. Don't have internet access in the day, so my calorie counting went by the wayside. Far too inspired by masterchef to cook deserts.</p> <p>Exercise was going well until a 10 days ago when I got another cold. Am about better now, and planning to do a 5K fun run this week rather than the initial plan of a 10k.</p> <p>And it has been really cold so hard to get around to weighing myself. I did it yesterday and discovered I was up again at my highest non pregnancy related weight ever yesterday(down a little today - was restrained after that shock) Also that my waist measurement is same as my Mum's. Admittedly she is an inch shorter and a pretty 65 year old but still...</p> <p>Well done Mary K and Congrats Rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-anyone-still-hanging-on#post-391590 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 20:44:16 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 391590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've fallen off the wagon totally :(</p> <p>I need to find a new motivation, but that won't happen easily at this point so possibly I'll try again when school starts at the beginning of September.</p> <p>I'll cheer everyone else on until then, though, and commiserate with others as necessary! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-anyone-still-hanging-on#post-391586 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 20:40:12 +0000 chewyspaghetti 391586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still struggling to hang on. I try to make it to the gym three times a week for walking/yoga, and I am going to start swimming on the weekends. Trying to watch my grocery budget closely because of the move means that I am doing a lot of baking/cooking. Not the best thing for weight loss, but at least I can control what goes into homemade goodies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-anyone-still-hanging-on#post-391581 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 20:30:42 +0000 Lynne 391581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, it sounds like you've done brilliantly - well done! You're getting more and more fabuous :)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-anyone-still-hanging-on#post-391569 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 20:23:33 +0000 MsMary 391569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm doing surprisingly well. I thought for sure that I would balloon up during the last two and a half weeks since my surgery, since I haven't been able to work out and my BFF provided lots of way-too-tasty goodies during the immediate postop period. Not to mention the liberal procurement of celebratory margaritas last weekend in San Diego!</p> <p>But lo and behold, I have actually lost a half pound since my nip/tuck and am holding steady at my lowest weight yet. Go figure!</p> <p>I see the doc on Thursday and I hope he will clear me to go back to the gym -- if not for boot camp classes, at least for some moderate trainer sessions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-anyone-still-hanging-on#post-391562 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 20:11:44 +0000 Lynne 391562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Malina, I did not manage to keep up earlier in the year - just too much going on! But I have finally gotten a little more focussed, have rejoined Weight Watchers, and have lost 1.5kg. It's been slow, but I'm confident I can sustain it and get back to a healthier weight. </p> <p>Rae, fantastic to hear your news - a wedding is a good motivations :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-anyone-still-hanging-on#post-391553 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 20:05:59 +0000 rae 391553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn't technically in the challenge, but I've been steadily working out to look nice for wedding photos. I've lost my workout partner to her hectic work schedule, but I've been trying to at least cram an intense 20-minute workout (Insanity videos) into my mornings... </p> <p>I've had the fit-into-jeans goal in mind for a few seasons now... but I'm finally losing inches, so this may be the season! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-anyone-still-hanging-on#post-391533 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 19:35:24 +0000 Mo 391533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will admit to falling pretty hard off the wagon the end of last week. I no longer have a car, and so I can't get to the pool for laps and it's way too hot to run lately. That leaves me with indoor workouts at home, of which I'm pretty bad at fitting in.<br /> I also decided against the triathlon (it happened Sat) and so I don't have a training schedule to keep me on my toes. My motivation is lacking basically.<br /> So, my new motivation is to have my fall jeans fit with some comfortable breathing room, rather than barely zipping up as they do now. :)<br /> I have been quite successful at making pushups a habit right before bedtime these last few months, so perhaps it's time to add crunches to that. </p> <p>How is everyone else doing? Have workouts slipped by the wayside with vacations and family outings, etc? Or do you have a committed routine you stick with no matter what? </p>
