No overindulging in too much thick-crust pizza. Darn those carbs!</p> <p>Chewy, you are brave (and wise) to weigh yourself every day. NEVER on Monday for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-challenge-check-in-425#post-339425 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 00:08:23 +0000 qfbrenda 339425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG, there's nothing wrong with a glass of wine as long as you factor that into the rest of your day. :)</p> <p>I'm holding steady with my weight. Maintenance has been interesting, and is turning out to be about the same as losing. I still need to do the same things: exercise regularly, track my food at least some of the time, eat lots of fruits and veggies, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-challenge-check-in-425#post-339424 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 00:05:45 +0000 Mo 339424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I plead the fifth. I did get in all but one planned workout (school holiday Fri. overran the pool, so no laps) but food and drink wasn't so hot come the weekend. Back up to my weight limit. And today I did nothing to get back on track. Blech. Tomorrow.<br /> On a lighter note, I have downloaded a sprint triathlon schedule. I know, I was using a cane a week ago, but this is 13 weeks down the road. It gives me hope at least. I won't have to start trying to run until 2 weeks from now. So up and down the stairs I continue trying to get that ankle loose.<br /> Una, I'm having your wine *and* mine each night </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-challenge-check-in-425#post-339423 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 00:00:04 +0000 catgirl 339423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i have been doing a run every other day and have been eating fairly well; however, I am having trouble resisting a glass of wine at night while I read the paper or unwind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-challenge-check-in-425#post-339355 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 21:36:09 +0000 Elly 339355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly I am kinda glad that me and the "trainer/partner" I have been working out with are about to part ways. I really enjoyed her company and the beginning was great, but the second half I felt like all I did was train train train after her scheduling difficulties put us behind and that I was constantly having to bend my schedule. Today should be our last workout together. </p> <p>Even though I haven't been making it to the gym more than 4x a week, I feel like I have been over-training. I really have gotten to the point that I love my workouts and the boost they give me, but I think I will have to vary them more because doing a similar workout tends to leave me with pain or weakness-- but sometimes I can take 4 days off and it isn't enough. </p> <p>I still haven't figured out how I am going to replace my cardio when I am away from a recumbent bike. I tried a walking workout the other day, and it was alright, but the chest pain and dizziness did hit me. Running is out of the picture totally, since my heart rate shoots up to 180 instantly and climbs from there. </p> <p>My eating has been crummy, partially because I still have been getting indigestion from leafy greens and because of my total crunch for time. Woo hoo, only 4 days and 25 pages left before I am done for the semester! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-challenge-check-in-425#post-339295 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 20:36:00 +0000 chewyspaghetti 339295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I completely forgot to weight myself this morning- and I weigh every morning! LOL<br /> I know what it was yesterday, and it was up three pounds from earlier in the week because- yes, yet again the hugs got pizza. Man!<br /> I did manage three workouts last week, and I have added a light dumbell routine for my arms. Even though it wasn't a perfect week, I am feeling pretty good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-challenge-check-in-425#post-339234 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 19:17:25 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 339234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was a very bad girl and skipped my run today. However salad/veg consumption is up over all for the week despite a 3 pizza slice lunch. Oops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-challenge-check-in-425#post-339220 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 19:06:28 +0000 Jenava 339220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been training for a half marathon; I have a 5k dash scheduled for next weekend, and a 10k and 8k scheduled for the weekend after. I've been getting a lot stronger, but my eating is terrible. I'm up to 9 miles but haven't lost a single ounce! How can I burn 1,000 calories three times per week and still not lose weight? Pizza, that's how!</p> <p>I'm trying to get back on track this week and started logging my food. I'm also have trouble with foot pain, so I'm going to try to ease up to my higher distance next week by doing more short runs more frequently during the week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-challenge-check-in-425#post-339200 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 18:44:11 +0000 medusa 339200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the last week of April, challengers. We're almost 4 months into the challenge! How are things going?</p> <p>I'm sad to say that I didn't check in last week, or even read last week's thread after I started it. (Sorry about that! And I'm off to go back to last week's thread and read what everyone wrote.) Life has been pretty crazy - I've been traveling for work 10 days out of the last 2 weeks, and I just got back from a job interview. With all the travel I've kept up with exercise really well but my eating has been all over the place - lots of sweets, stress eating, the whole 9 yards. So this week my goal is to get back on my eating plan. </p>
