Thanks to Anne, I now know where to check. I should have figured that out.</p> <p>I had a good week but met a friend after work today and we stopped on the way home. There was nothing to snack on that wasn't either too spicy so I ended up eating a small order of salt and pepper wings. I have been good otherwise so am not going to sweat it.</p> <p>I was sleeping better on the weekend but woke up at 2;30 last night. Ugh.</p> <p>I plan to go to yoga tomorrow and run on the weekend. Also have a golf game lined up for next weekend.</p> <p>Have a great week everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-saturdays#post-711292 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 01:21:56 +0000 anne 711292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My alarm didn't wake me yesterday, and it was too stormy to walk ( will be today to, I expect) but I got in my leg weights and incline/intervals session on the treadmill this morning.</p> <p>Been good with food too, and am only about a pound above the top of my usual weight range!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-saturdays#post-710830 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 14:41:59 +0000 Mo 710830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I feel a little bit redeemed just coming in from a 30 min run I had way too much fun with the wine this weekend, but the scale wasn't too mean this morning.<br /> My Facebook fitness group is doing 'ladders' this week as a challenge. You do sit ups and push ups increasingly up to a certain number and then back down. So, 1 situp and 1 pushup and then 2 of each, and then 3 and so on. Fast as you can, no rest in between. We are going up to 6 and back down the first day, up to 8 the second day and up to 10 the last day. Rest days in between. Should be fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-saturdays#post-709975 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 12:27:41 +0000 anne 709975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Citygirl, I am so with you on the carb thing!! Not so much bread with me, but I am much more likely to overdo porridge, rice pudding, pasta or weetbix than chocolate or wine.</p> <p>I had the week off after last Sun's HM with the exception of one walk. I am planning to get back into exercise thus<br /> Mon - RPM class + 1/2 hr walk<br /> Tue - leg weights and speed/ incline intervals on treadmill + 1/2 hr walk<br /> wed - pump<br /> thurs- run + RPM class + arm weights + 1/2 hr walk<br /> Fri- balance<br /> Sat - long run ( not that long atm, maybe 8km)<br /> Sun - rest</p> <p>This may be a bit ambitious and the walks, a new thing, are dependent on the weather.</p> <p>I am down a tiny bit in weight, but measured myself (finally) yesterday and was not pleased about my waistline, so getting that down and into my now too tihgt jeans is a big goal.</p> <p>Other things.<br /> I have stopped eating in front of the computer, but now need to stop while watching TV. Reading is next, but that is a VERY strong association with me (when eating by myself)</p> <p>Trying to cut down on chedder intake</p> <p>DH told me today he is trying to lose weight too, so need to think more about family meals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-saturdays#post-709831 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 04:20:31 +0000 catgirl 709831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AAH! I am just coming back to say I did a run with the dog in the rain today (that's how much I hate the treadmill - I'd rather run in 50 degree drizzle), and for the first time since I took up running again, I felt really good. I was going to stop after three miles because we were wet, but something kicked in and I decided to keep going and I went another three miles! I can't tell you how elated I was! Then I couldn't even crawl up the stairs at our house.</p> <p>Tomorrow we are going to brunch at a friend's house for bacon and Bloody Marys, so good thing I got some exercise today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-saturdays#post-709818 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 03:56:05 +0000 Mo 709818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm kinda there with Diana - having fun with the weekend above and beyond.<br /> I did run twice and lap swim once. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-saturdays#post-709697 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 01:05:14 +0000 Diana 709697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um, currently on Day 2 of a rather indulgent labor day holiday weekend, so no comment. =P Will eat right/ exercise when I get home Tuesday evening. That's the plan at least. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-saturdays#post-709462 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 18:09:16 +0000 catgirl 709462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not weighing in for a while. Instead I'm focusing on how my clothes fit. I've decided not to focus on weight because my number is not changing, but I am really improving in the stamina and strength departments. Thursday night I ran 5 miles doing intervals, and today I'm going to try for a longer run. </p> <p>Go Fabbers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-saturdays#post-709448 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 17:49:59 +0000 Anonymous 709448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm ready to start fresh in September, Citygirl!

I did tons of walking, that's as much as it went for me, exercise wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-saturdays#post-709259 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 12:14:47 +0000 citygirldc 709259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone. Just checking in with everyone to see where they are in keeping up with they healthy and fit lifestyle. </p> <p>I did not weight in for fear that I gained a few pounds this week. I was in one of those moods where I could not stop eating, especially carbs. I'm a bread-a-holic, plus starchy foods like rices and cereals. I need to break away from this habit. The good news is that I did keep up with my exercise routine but still ate more than I should have.</p> <p>Here's my exercise routine for the following week: Hopefully I'll keep up with it.</p> <p>Sat: Run 4-5 miles / Weigh in<br /> Sun: Break<br /> Mon: bike to work, HIIT class<br /> Tue: Run 4-5 miles, bike to work<br /> Wed: Bike to work, HIIT class<br /> Thu: Run 4-5 miles, LEAVE FOR NYC<br /> Fri: Walking and shopping<br /> Sat: Meeting up with friends in NYC<br /> Sun: NYC Century bike tour - doing the 55 mile ride</p> <p>How is everyone doing with they exercise and eating habits? </p>
