We got back last week from Taos, NM so I've not been exercising as much as I should. I am back on track this week and working out 4-5x this week with 3 days of cardio and 2-3 days of weight training.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-april-28#post-921927 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 21:17:06 +0000 Sarah A 921927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Kristin, I so hope the migraines clear off a bit. <br /><br />As for active lifestyle ] updates, last week I did manage 5 bike commute round trips (8 mi ea) plus two swims and two runs. This week has been lousy weather so far and my bike is in for repair so I am going to call it a resting week before hopefully being able to return to biking more next week. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-april-28#post-920791 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:24:00 +0000 Anonymous 920791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Kristin, I'm definitely sending you good thoughts. &nbsp;Hope the migraines leave you alone this week. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-april-28#post-920790 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:23:10 +0000 Anonymous 920790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm going on a beach trip with my nieces, sisters, and sister-in-law in three weeks, so I'm motivated! &nbsp;Shooting for Zumba twice a week, weights three times per week, and at least one yoga session.<br /><br />But honestly exercise is never a problem for me. &nbsp;Cutting back on cheese, chocolate, and wine will be tougher! &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-april-28#post-920598 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 05:30:19 +0000 Anonymous 920598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to get my bike tuned up so I can start bike commuting to work and back again.

I had not heard that about beta blockers, Mary K, I'll keep that in mind for Mr. Laurinda.<br /><br />I found some interesting facts about average US height and weight (keeping in mind that like having 2.5 children, there may be no such person as average).<br /><br />******<br />From the CDC, adding in metric : <br />"Measured average height, weight, and waist circumference for adults ages 20 years and over <ul><li><strong>Men:</strong><br /> Height (inches):&nbsp; 69.3 (176 cm)<br /> Weight (pounds): 195.5 (88.6 kg)<br /> Waist circumference (inches):&nbsp;&nbsp; 39.7 (100.8 cm)<br /></li><li><strong>Women:</strong><br /> Height (inches): &nbsp; 63.8 (162 cm)<br /> Weight (pounds):&nbsp; 166.2 (75.4 kg)<br /> Waist circumference (inches):&nbsp;&nbsp; 37.5 (95.3 cm)<br /></li></ul>******<br /><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-april-28#post-920296 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 22:46:01 +0000 Caro in Oz 920296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sorry about the migraines:) Hope you find the right combo.<br /><br />I'm back with x 4 classes this week. Have been doing lots of stretching exercises from the physio &amp; my muscle is healing well. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-april-28#post-920234 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 21:10:38 +0000 Makrame 920234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Kristin, hope you find a way to get the migraines under control!&nbsp;<br /><br />I am getting ready for a local 10 mile race next weekend (it's a very popular hilly run that I have never done; I am hoping not to be the last runner on the course). &nbsp;I signed up as a way to motivate myself and even though I wish I had more time to train, I was glad to do some hill runs over the last few weeks.<br /><br />Found a new podcast to listen to while running - "Another Mother Runner". &nbsp;The first 5 minutes are a bit annoying (chitchat about the authors' families etc.) but they have good speakers on and fun interviews (I listened to a dermatologist give tips on skin care for runners + she is a mother of 3 young kids and a marathon runner; they also had Cara Goucher on (an Olympic runner)&nbsp;and other interesting interviewees.<br /><br />Oh, and I just noticed that they do a "footwear shot" (similar to YLF meet ups) where everyone is wearing sneakers. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-april-28#post-920134 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:20:55 +0000 Mo 920134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I did a LOT of walking on my New Orleans trip. &nbsp;Over 118,000 steps for the week. &nbsp;But I did a lot of eating of rich foods, too. &nbsp;<br />I'm cutting back on starchy stuff and wine to drop the vacation bloat.&nbsp;<br />This next week is all about getting out and running and hitting my home gym.I need to do each at least once a week minimum so they are a routine before I get really busy with both jobs. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Overall, I have 2 to 3 pounds I'd still like to ditch in the coming weeks. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-april-28#post-920130 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:14:42 +0000 Anonymous 920130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi, Kristin. So sorry about your migraines. I have to say I too have been start stop with my fitness too as I've been having bad headaches which are partly due to sinus, but I am also convinced I have some upper neck vertebre problems and I'm taking myself off to a physio tomorow to see it it can be tweaked. However having been headache free today I did do a 40 minute workout of cardio and weights. So at least I'm keeping my hand in. <br />I do hope you can get your migraines under control soon, good luck. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-april-28#post-920070 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 16:20:02 +0000 Kristin L 920070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good luck MaryK! I'll talk to my doc about combining my Topamax with something. Unfortunately, I can't use beta blockers because I'm&nbsp;asthmatic&nbsp;and beta blockers somehow prevent&nbsp;asthma medications from working. I'm not sure I want to trade one problem for another lol. :)<br />&nbsp;<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-april-28#post-920053 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 15:54:28 +0000 MsMary 920053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good luck with the migraines, Kristin!&nbsp; I have had great luck combining a low dose of Topamax with a low dose of a beta blocker (propranalol in my case) for migraine prevention.&nbsp; Works better than either one on its own.&nbsp; You might want to mention that to your doc if the Topamax alone doesn't do the trick!<br /><br />I had a good exercise week (5 days at the gym plus a tap class) but struggled with my food.&nbsp; It's hard not to eat everything in sight when I'm here by myself in the evening.&nbsp; Hoping to do better in the coming week!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-april-28#post-920042 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 15:23:20 +0000 Kristin L 920042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi everyone. I haven't been as truthful about my walking as a should have been (for shame!). I can't get past these migraines! I'm about to start&nbsp;2nd week of Topomax and if y'all could send me some positive thoughts/prayers/whatever you feel is right, I would appreciate it. I know it will get better. I just need to find the magic right dose. :)<br /><br />Onto more happy news! How is everyone else's week?&nbsp;
