Yes it's been a bad week. I went outside again, we have had snow now that actually stuck around. The weather was fine, but the mechanics of running on an icy road while pushing a chariot are tough. I really want to run through the winter outside at least sometimes. I'm thinking about getting some cold weather gear but I don't know, I wish they had running shoes made for ice! Some cleats or something! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-795714 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 03:38:54 +0000 Mo 795714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so jealous of you runners and the half marathon as well! It's snow and ice here and no treadmill I did use our home gym this morning and get in one set of 15 of most exercises. It's a start.<br /> I'm actually down weight since the drive. But I know it's not all good since I basically sat in a car for 12+ hours a day. Hence the weights. But I miss running. Really miss it. Guess my running around work will have to suffice. I start in 9 days. Weights until then. And flights of stairs in our condo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-793633 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 17:28:26 +0000 Raisin 793633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alright, I'm back on track. 6.5km (4mi) run that was airily speedy....8mph on the treadmill. Sweaty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-793502 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 14:12:37 +0000 anne 793502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am being way lazier Rae. DH is away, so I can only exercise during school hours but I have a busy week of social events, end of year school things etc and just haven't made it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-793456 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 13:12:26 +0000 Raisin 793456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have ben really lazy! Not a run in 3 days....but my excuse is that DH worked the weekend and I had 2 kids, and school got cancelled on Monday....yet again 2 kids. But I wasn't exactly complaining either Hehe....must make it happen today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-793146 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 00:42:14 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 793146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay so I am sitting here feeling lazy as can be but then thought of this thread and am going to go put on my stuff and get on the treadmill. Even if it is only 20 minutes, it is better than continuing to sit here on my lazy butt.</p> <p>Thanks again for the motivation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-792390 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 01:53:18 +0000 citygirldc 792390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My week started on Saturday with a loss of 1.4 lbs. Yay for me!!! I ended up running my long run of 6 miles since I'm training for the Rock and Roll Half Marathon (Janet, are you running this race??) in March here in DC. </p> <p>I realize much of my weight loss comes from cardio and watching what I eat. I hope to lose the 5 lbs. I gained during Thanksgiving and get back on track for the New Year.</p> <p>My weekly goals are: eat less, drink 8 glasses of water a day, limit my caffeine and sweeteners, and eat more protein. EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-792304 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 22:28:04 +0000 RunnerChick 792304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Laurinda - I'll check back in at the end of the week. It's the time of the year when running is hard...not because of the weather but because things are so CRAZY! I hope everyone has a good week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-792302 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 22:22:57 +0000 Raisin 792302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No run today. Hopefully we have good weather again this week and I can get out each day. Have a good week everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-792301 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 22:21:11 +0000 Laurinda 792301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@RunnerChick -- if your week is going well check in for congratulations. If your week goes not so hot check in for commiseration :-)</p> <p>Sometimes I chase Miss DuBois. She is lightning quick going up the stairs for a senior kitty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-792296 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 22:14:59 +0000 RunnerChick 792296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK YLF-ers - help me get my act together and stay accountable. I need the exercise for my mental sanity and because I am feeling F.A.T! Here's my deal for the week - </p> <p>Monday - Yoga<br /> (Tues - Wed I am out of town)<br /> Thur- weight training workout<br /> Fri - Run<br /> Sat - Weight training workout<br /> Sun - Run </p> <p>A cat that goes for walks is very very funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-792286 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 21:49:02 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 792286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah but Janet, you get the residual burn from the increased metabolism so you are way ahead of the game. </p> <p>I did 30 minutes on the treadmill but walked quickly and put it at 5% incline for about 1/3. I don't have a cat now but years ago I had one that would go for a walk with me in the evenings. It was very funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-792243 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:24:04 +0000 Janet 792243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The good: I just kicked off the week with a seven mile run. Happy that I'm officially more than halfway back up to half-marathon distance.</p> <p>The not-as-good: After my run, I ate a turkey burger and fries (although I barely ate half the fries). That probably added back the 700 calories I just burned off, huh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-792224 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:03:11 +0000 Laurinda 792224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah Dianthus!</p> <p>But I have to ask-- will your cat go on the treadmill ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-792197 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 19:15:28 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 792197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my first week joining in on this thread in a long time. I weighed myself this morning and am hoping to lose 4 - 5 pounds in the 4 weeks before I leave for vacation. I just did a short weight workout. I did incline DB bench press (3 sets), pulldowns, leg extensions, shoulder press, and deadlifts. I was surprised at how quickly it goes when lifting alone. I think I finished in just over 20 minutes. </p> <p>I ate shrimp for lunch and took out salmon for supper. I am going to shoot for 1200-1400 calories a day with lots of fruits &amp; veggies and lean protein.</p> <p>I have a goal. I just have to be very careful since this is THE hardest time of year to watch what you eat.</p> <p>Thanks for starting the thread this morning Laurinda. You motivated me to move. I will try to put in 30 minutes on the treadmill walking 4 mph on an incline this afternoon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-792196 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 19:12:38 +0000 Laurinda 792196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cat on the treadmill video is pretty inspiring as well:</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&#038;v=KFlaaa8fGoE" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?f.....Flaaa8fGoE</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-dec-9#post-792040 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:40:51 +0000 Laurinda 792040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have a lovely light snowfall here this morning, and I am going for a swim (inside!).</p> <p>How is everyone doing this week? </p>
