I've been doing fairly well in terms of exercise but once again the scale does not want to go down. &nbsp;</p> <p>My schedule has been 3 days of cardio and 2 days of strength training with some short runs. &nbsp;I'm hoping I'll see a difference but I know what my problem is and that is my food intake. If I can control that, then I'm sure i'll see a considerable difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-april-27-28#post-1236590 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 14:24:04 +0000 Mo 1236590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lyn*, I am up in weight too. &nbsp;It's hard to fight those ingrained thoughts that up = bad and down = good. &nbsp;But you are obviously stronger, and actually smaller by 1/2 inch. &nbsp;Nobody is coming over to pick you up and then say, 'yep, you are heavier.' &nbsp;;) &nbsp;They might, however, notice that you are smaller </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-april-27-28#post-1235948 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 22:04:45 +0000 lyn* 1235948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Down another 1/2 inch, but the scale keeps on going up. It's frustrating, but I feel stronger ... and that's more important than gaining 15 lbs in 6 months, right?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-april-27-28#post-1235730 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 17:26:39 +0000 Alassë 1235730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still hitting lower numbers on the scale, and got out for walks every day. The weekend was not good food-wise, so I'm getting back on track for this week. Overall, I'm happy with my progress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-april-27-28#post-1235430 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 07:28:16 +0000 anne 1235430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gardenchick, I am very impresses with a 6 mile hilly run!! And tell me more about a cardio Sculpt class?</p> <p>I just did my second ever 5km in (just) under 25 minutes on the treadmill, which I am pretty happy about, since I had a bit of a runny nose as well, and felt like I wasn't quite giving it 100 % </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-april-27-28#post-1235392 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 05:19:31 +0000 gardenchick 1235392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let's see--went running 3x this week as usual. This morning we did a 6 mile hilly run which felt challenging, in a good way.<br /> Went to the gym for a cardio-sculpt class on Thurs. This week I plan to get there 2x.<br /> What I would like to do would be to eat less sugary stuff, and be more mindful about eating. I tend to get very snacky throughout the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-april-27-28#post-1235348 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 03:47:01 +0000 anne 1235348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good workout everyone!</p> <p>I made my 3 runs last week, including one 8km that is the longest run I have done for some months. DD10 came along with me on her new (for her) bike and loved it, and I think it pushed me a little faster for have her there. Now the other girls are clamouring to come out with me too! This is going to be hard however, as the mornings are getting dark.</p> <p> I got to the gym for one weights session, but had a slightly sore back and so skipped the second one. I got inspired by a friend who is dead lifting 60kg (1 to 3 reps) at Cross Fit. I do 15kg (mulitple reps) though could do more now I have worked out that I can add weights to the bar once I have got it down from the rack! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-april-27-28#post-1235190 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 23:13:41 +0000 Kristin L 1235190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job Mo.

How was last week?</p> <p>Mine went pretty well. I'm not feeling quite as blah as I was and I was able to get 4 workouts in. And I'm super excited that i found a workout that's suppose to help strengthen ankles. It's geared towards runners, but considering how my ankles like to roll when I walk (or sprint), I think it will help me.</p> <p>My goals for this week are to add a few of the ankle exercises to my normal routine. I also have not been as good about trying to stay calm as I would like to, so it's back to working on my anxiety with mediation.</p> <p>What are your goals for the week?</p>
