Also did lots of walking on the weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-feb-16#post-1171111 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 03:51:51 +0000 rebekahphoto 1171111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very inspiring to read all your posts! &nbsp;I received a Vitamix for christmas and have been having green smoothies nearly every day... Its been so good. Smoothies for breakfast, &amp; one with a very small dinner, &amp; somedays replace 2 meals with green smoothies---about 50/50 veg fruit, with a few add ins. Great use of our garden goodies</p> <p>Both the Mr and I are feeling great, and even missed them this weekend while we were down visiting the in-laws!&nbsp; They eat much more processed food than we are used to, but this visit we even ate well there--I cooked for everyone &amp; we went out to eat to have a little more control over the menu. worked very wel! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-feb-16#post-1171066 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 03:14:20 +0000 LACeleste 1171066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>Good work on getting and staying healthy!</p> <p>I am experiencing intense wrist and elbow pain--completely new to me. &nbsp;Most likely a combo of&nbsp;too many/too heavy&nbsp;kettle bell tri dips and maybe expected rain? &nbsp;It hurts to open a bottle of water and hooking my bra is damn near impossible. &nbsp;wahhhhhhh.<br />Thank you for letting me vent! &nbsp;Funny how you don't even think about eating chocolate when you can't do the basic things you need to do. &nbsp;This too will pass. &nbsp;</p> <p>Wishing you all a great week! &nbsp;Thank you for your motivation.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-feb-16#post-1169015 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 05:15:42 +0000 lyn* 1169015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had my annual weigh in and I weigh 10 lbs more than I did last year.&nbsp;</p> <p>Given that; I used to be able to only do the same exercises at the gym that I do now with 3 lb free weights, but I have just progressed to 20 lbs.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know that my arms are bigger - my ill-fitting blazers are evidence enough of that :)</p> <p>I don't feel really big. Bugs me a bit that I still weigh more : ( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-feb-16#post-1168610 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 20:05:01 +0000 MsMaven 1168610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Arms! &nbsp;I wear long-sleeves all the time in the colder months and I hadn't noticed my arms. &nbsp;When I was doing P/T they had me work arms and shoulders as well on the pulley machines. &nbsp;When I finished with that I got an exercise band so I can continue to do the arm exercises at home. &nbsp;Well, last week I noticed that I am a lot stronger and firmer. &nbsp;I took a look at my bare upper arms this morning and behold: &nbsp;I am going to wear sleeveless this summer. &nbsp;</p> <p>Last week I was perfect: &nbsp;food diary, no wine, even got 11,500 steps one day--shopping. &nbsp;We did have a long Valentine's lunch (we're done with going out in the evening--nothing romantic there) with fried stuff and wine. &nbsp;Only exception,</p> <p>And I went up a bit in weight. &nbsp;I do know, however, that eventually that will change. &nbsp;Next week, food diary, exercise, and a good report. &nbsp;(No long lunches scheduled.) &nbsp;And I'm going to add another biceps exercise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-feb-16#post-1168576 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 19:39:14 +0000 Anonymous 1168576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K, I'm glad you persevered with the veggies and you've had no bloating. Keep up the good work. Mo, you're doing great as always I see; and I hope you enjoy all your lovely juices Mary!</p> <p>The throaty virus I mentioned last Sunday developed into a full-blown cold I'm afraid and I did nothing but feel sorry for myself till Friday when I felt tons better only to go out for a Valentines meal and eat and drink, yummy food and wine... So, I guess I'm back to square one this week&nbsp;and a fresh start. I want to move a bit more and eat well next week. Wish me luck.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-feb-16#post-1168514 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 18:18:39 +0000 MsMary 1168514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Somehow I missed last week's thread -- sorry about that!</p> <p>I had a great exercise week last week -- did six out of seven days including a 2.5-miles-each-way hike up a local mountain!&nbsp; </p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m57gzA2JCcM" rel="nofollow">But that's not what I came here to talk to you about</a>.&nbsp; I was sitting in the chair at the hair salon yesterday and one of the stylists came up and gave me a menu from a new juicing place that had just opened.&nbsp; And all of a sudden it hit me!&nbsp; That's how I can use up the fruits and veggies in the veggie box!&nbsp; Juicing!!&nbsp; And lo and behold they are having a small appliances sale at Target today, so as soon as I get myself up and out of bed I am going to head right over to Target and get myself a juicer and start juicing all that lettuce, and those lemons and apples and oranges that I can't seem to find time to eat.&nbsp; Big fun!!</p> <p>I am having a small medical procedure on Tuesday that will keep me out of the gym for a week or so but I do have a trainer session on Monday and I'll be watching what I eat and cheering the rest of you on from the sidelines! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-feb-16#post-1168397 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 15:39:20 +0000 Mo 1168397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am following a training plan for a 10K and that went well. 3 runs, one my first speedwork training.&nbsp;The week started with a wine tasting, so it could only go up from there! &nbsp;Actually, I had 3 days of no wine afterwards. &nbsp;I did have some Valentine's chocolate but a manageable amount. &nbsp;I did my body weight exercises 75% of the time. &nbsp;Good enough!<br />This week I&nbsp;have 3 runs scheduled, one is a fun run 5K at a pub. &nbsp;I aim to keep portions under control and wine moderate. Push ups, sit ups and squats to round things out.&nbsp;:) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-feb-16#post-1168377 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 15:26:15 +0000 Kristin L 1168377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone. How was your week?</p> <p>I'm pretty proud of myself this week. Even though we were stuck at home for a pretty good chunk of the week, DF and didn't resort to eating junk food and watching TV all day. We got out and walked a but in the snow/ice (yay!) and didn't let the snow days keep us from eating healthy.&nbsp;</p> <p>My goal for this week it to continue adding more raw veggies to my diet. I took everyone's advice (thanks again!) and I haven't been bloating. I consider that a win.&nbsp;</p> <p>What are your goals for the week? </p>
