Classic stress patterns for me.&nbsp;But tonight I bought a bunch of healthy food and did the math on calories, so I won't be able to lie to myself about caloric intake.&nbsp;</p> <p>My extra motivation not to give into stress eating right now is that we booked a trip to Buenos Aires in mid Feb... it's going to be hot and humid, so I really really don't want to look doughy in my swimwear. Oy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-29#post-1126523 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 03:21:29 +0000 minimalist 1126523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I picked up a FitBit, primarily for sleep tracking. But I'm interested in seeing how simply having numbers about activity level affects my choices.</p> <p>I've started doing green smoothies again, to raise my veggie intake and especially omega 3s.Will get back to bentos tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-29#post-1124493 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 06:47:39 +0000 MsMaven 1124493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eat drink and be Merry! &nbsp;Next week is January and I may have to go on a real diet.&nbsp;</p> <p>Okay, beginning tomorrow--I walk out the door and across the street. &nbsp;I walk around the park as many times as it takes to do ten thousand steps. &nbsp;No rain predicted, so I can do it every day next week.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-29#post-1124208 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 22:10:04 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1124208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary K, you totally crack me up!&nbsp;</p> <p>I did GREAT over Thanksgiving, and even better than that... until a week ago yesterday, when I got to my parents'. &nbsp; My mom baked every kind of Christmas cookie possible to bake. &nbsp; And it's pretty much been free-for-all grazing ever since :P</p> <p>The workouts commence... probably tomorrow </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-29#post-1124205 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 22:07:51 +0000 Debra 1124205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well ladies, I think I am on Diane's team, way too much eating and merrymaking over Christmas :)<br /> I have pledged to stay on track from today ( just went for a walk) and plan to do this daily, drink more water ( bought a new water bottle) and eat vegetarian (I don't eat much meat but want to cut it out completely)<br /> Soooo here goes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-29#post-1124194 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 21:29:26 +0000 Louise 1124194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in DianeG's 'sweet FA' club! I finally got to the doctors on Friday to get my dodgy knee checked out. It's most likely a slightly miss aligned knee cap so being referred for physio. Generally a 6 week wait so no high impact Zumba though he says I'm ok with Zumba Gold (though this doesn't restart till 13th Jan) and walking. Yesterday I walked the 15 minutes into town which did ease my knee slightly so I think I need to make a concerted effort to have a little walk everyday especially as it's school holidays and I've a tendency to loaf around!

Did a treadmill run and a full weight routine yesterday and a 2 hour spin class today. I was hoping to do an outdoor run tomorrow, but the weather is dipping really low (-30's and feels like -40's C.) so it will be the treadmill again.</p> <p>My New Year's resolution is to learn how to use the Garmin Santa brought for Christmas. I have been thinking I need to use a heart rate monitor in order to be more 'honest' with my effort. Waited till the last minute before today's workout, and instead of heart rate I was told I accomplished 26 laps....during a 2 hr spin class! Tech savvy DS#1 (who does the class too) just shook his head at me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-29#post-1124129 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 19:58:09 +0000 Anonymous 1124129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As we say in the UK ... I've been doing 'sweet FA' lately to get fit or watch my weight!&nbsp; Blame the Christmas food and big boxes of chocolates! </p> <p>&nbsp;Anyway, as I'm so bad at keeping up any kind of routine, if I can just start back to my daily walks and cut back on food then at least that will be a start... but not till after the New Years Eve buffet and dance that we're going to :)... Wish me luck!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-29#post-1124088 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 18:08:19 +0000 MsMary 1124088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My weight is way up to and past my super super emergency red light number, although not quite to my OMG it's the end of the world number.&nbsp; There was much eating and drinking over Christmas!!&nbsp; I came home with a bunch of sweets but yesterday I threw it all in the trash and feel better about that.</p> <p>I did get four workouts in last week, so I'm counting that as a victory.</p> <p>My big resolution is that I'm changing my eating to low-fat vegan, with the help of my new weekly organic veggie box.&nbsp; Super excited about that.&nbsp; I'm also going to cut way back on the alcohol.&nbsp; No more solitary glass of wine in the evening!&nbsp; And I'm hoping our tap dance lessons, which have been on hiatus, will resume in January! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-29#post-1124087 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 18:03:36 +0000 Karie 1124087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I like the computer penalty time idea. I have the week off so I will get to go to Pilates or yoga (my favorites)&nbsp;at the gym&nbsp;every day but Fri. I do need to get back to doing&nbsp;weight bearing exercises - I have relaxed on that since my foot surgery. Having gone through early menopause (at age 36), I have osteopenia and don't want it to go into osteoporosis. I have managed to keep that at bay, even reverse the osteopenia slightly, through calcium supplements&nbsp;and weight bearing exercises.&nbsp;<br />And right now I have three doggies that need walks&nbsp;(one is mine, the other two are my mother-in-law's and we take care of them when she goes to FL in the winter). So I'd better get them outside before the snow starts this afternoon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-29#post-1124083 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 17:48:17 +0000 LACeleste 1124083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi K and Mo and everyone!</p> <p>You are helping motivate me. It has been so beautiful in LA this week so I have enjoyed my outdoor workouts. &nbsp;Eating has been mostly under control--i gave myself a pass for Christmas Eve and Christmas.</p> <p>Off to jump rope... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-29#post-1124041 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 16:10:08 +0000 Mo 1124041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep on keepin' on, K! &nbsp;I ran three times last week and did bodyweight exercises each day. &nbsp;I decided I would do one for every 10 minutes spent online, alternating push ups, squats, and sit-ups. &nbsp;Working well, so far. &nbsp;Best if I do them every 2 hours, for a set of 12. &nbsp;<br />I'm up on the scale, but feel firmer, so I'm not stressing on it. &nbsp;PMS is a factor, too. &nbsp;<br />Today is fun day including out for lunch, so I give myself a pass (every Sunday). &nbsp;I plan to continue running and doing the computer 'penalty time' exercises &nbsp;It would be great to weigh in under 120 in 3 days for the start of the year, but that remains to be seen lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-29#post-1124030 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 15:29:27 +0000 Kristin L 1124030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone! I hope you've had a great week and a wonderful holiday!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm feeling fairly proud of myself this week. I've been able to watch what I'm eating and cut back on the desserts. Still wasn't always eating the healthiest (I do love my momma's fried chicken), but I managaed to get a lot of walking in, so there is that,</p> <p>My goals for this week is to continue on course. The big one for me is not to beat myself up over missing a day. I think having goal, like fitting into my funky wedding dress bra more comfortably for the big day, is going to be my big one moving forward. That and working out so I can have more energy the day.&nbsp;</p> <p>What are your goals for next week? And if you have a New Year's resolution, please share it. One thing I love about this site (in particular&nbsp;the people on this thread) is how we motivate each other to keep going. </p>
