I have exactly 18 weeks until the marathon, which is nice because that's a typical marathon schedule. So I finished off the week with my 6 mile run, which is my long run of this week....tired! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-jan-6#post-815143 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 11:58:58 +0000 anne 815143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hadn't heard that Laurinda, though when I mentioned it to DH he said it had been on the news!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-jan-6#post-813945 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:40:25 +0000 Laurinda 813945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree Caro, great to hear about everyone's successes! </p> <p>[Especially our friends in the Southern Hemisphere, I heard it has been so hot in Australia that they had to add a new color to their temperature maps ~~~ 129.2°F = 54°C ! <a href="http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2013/01/its-so-hot-australia-they-added-new-colors-weather-map/60701/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theatlanticwire.com.....map/60701/</a> ] </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-jan-6#post-813560 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 02:31:07 +0000 anne 813560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well i have been absent from these threads for a few weeks.<br /> Firstly, Christmas was not great for the weight, largely because I cooked Nigella Lawsons gingerbread stuffing, something I had longed to do for years! But I was the only one who like it, so for 5 days I plugged away eating it until I was sick of it and admitted defeat, and the rest got discarded.</p> <p>Secondly, we have had a heatwave here and some individual hot days. Exercise is VERY difficult in these conditions, (we have no A/C) as the only possible time of the day to run etc, is the early morning and I often use this to sleep, as the heat has prevented my getting to sleep at night.<br /> Food too is affected, as I tend to go for the least amount of cooking, and a high amount of cold food (more icecream than usual!)</p> <p>It is school holidays too. I have managed one visit to the gym in DH's lunch time, and a few runs with my daughters. I have to do exercises still for my hip/knee/ hamstrong problems and only run gently. I have revised my race plans down to a 5km in Feb.</p> <p>Lastly I have started work again, and done 3 days of 4 1/2 hour shifts. These have utterly exhausted me. It is partly adjusting to work ( I haven't worked outside the home since 2007), partly the inevitable brain overload of a new job, and partly because the work is quite physical and also has been almost all standing up.</p> <p>I assume I will adjust in time, so am taking it a bit easier on myself until I do. I am in my acceptable weight range, though nearer the top than I prefer, and I know I am a bit on the flabby side and the waistband a bit tight. Hopefully it is reversible! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-jan-6#post-813439 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 01:19:51 +0000 Caro in Oz 813439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's great to read how you are all doing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-jan-6#post-813043 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 19:05:34 +0000 Raisin 813043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, I really need to start drinking more water. I was doing well for a while, then slacked off a bit.<br /> Mo, hope you feel better soon. The flu took us all out for about 2 weeks here, it was rough.</p> <p>Well happy to be home after all the holiday travelling. Did my first run since getting back last night, and it was rougher than it should have been. Just 4 miles, but the start of my official marathon training. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-jan-6#post-812367 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 02:16:02 +0000 Mo 812367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fighting a cold and exercise is on the back burner. Work is exercise. The BF continues to cook nice homemade comfort food a few times a week, which is great since I grab and go while working. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-jan-6#post-811662 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:02:03 +0000 Kristin L 811662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My goals for the week are to keep on walking and drink 1 full water bottle at work (I think it's about 28 fl oz) on top of multiple mugs of unsweetened green tea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-jan-6#post-810653 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 12:49:51 +0000 citygirldc 810653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been a great start of the new year: I've gotten a new job, had a great birthday, and top it off, I lost 2.6 lbs. in 3 weeks. Go figure since I ate my way through the holidays. I have 6 more lbs. until I hit my goal weight and of course that is the hardest part. So it's back on track with exercise and eating healthy. </p> <p>I'm also training for the Rock and Roll Half Marathon in March (Janet, how are you doing with training?) and a bit behind. I'm planning to get my long run in today (8 miles) and the head to gym class for some weight training. </p> <p>My main goals this week are: drink lots of water, cut down on starches, eat more veggies and protein. </p> <p>Good luck everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-jan-6#post-810308 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:56:46 +0000 Raisin 810308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still on Holidays which is really ruining my running the past few weeks. We are going home Tuesday though, so the running starts again Wednesday. I have a lot to do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-jan-6#post-810276 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:00:40 +0000 Caro in Oz 810276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've lined up private sessions in Pilaties &amp; I'm starting a weights program at the gym. I'm off wine until a wedding on 19th Jan. It has been so hot here eating well is easy I've been making lots of different salads. My yoga practise has been really hard for some reason - once I get on the mat I'm okay but I seem to be resisting it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-jan-6#post-810085 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 14:36:23 +0000 Anonymous 810085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still need to cut down on wine, but I'm doing well with exercise and meditation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-jan-6#post-810083 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 14:27:32 +0000 Laurinda 810083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How is everyone doing? </p> <p>Working your movement (or rest!) in, keeping to your diet choices? </p>
