I also walked my dog every night between 1 and 2 miles (not much but I hope it adds up). I am logging my food.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-june-16#post-957735 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 02:10:55 +0000 velvetychocolate 957735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you amiable - I will look for the book! Like you, I might do better in the gym, but will at least attempt the 'at home' workouts for now. I'll give it a couple of weeks at home, and if it's not happening, then back to the gym I go. </p> <p>Thanks again though for the book recommendation - I was already scratching my head, trying to remember my old gym routine and wondering if it could be adapted to home workouts at all. I have a few weights hanging around, but not all the equipment that you can get at a gym. Have no idea how I'd do back extensions or pull ups at home ...like I said, will look for that book - thanks! </p> <p>eta: just ordered the book! It looks like it will come in handy for all kinds of situations - for instance, out of town or what have you. </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-june-16#post-957727 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 02:02:27 +0000 amiable 957727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>velvetychocolate - I liked the weight training work outs in a book called "You are Your Own Gym", if you decide to work out at home, I'd recommend the book.&nbsp; I discovered for myself, though, that I need an instructor and something mildly social about working out - I don't keep myself motivated.&nbsp; (So I'm currently trying online workouts, with a little success). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-june-16#post-957726 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 02:00:33 +0000 amiable 957726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm back from vacation, where I didn't eat very healthy (and overate), but was physically pretty active (not counting the driving).&nbsp; I'm looking forward to starting to work out again this week with Jessica Smith's 5-week summer shape up that I was doing before I left.&nbsp; We'll see if it kills me.&nbsp; Right now I'm so tired that any workout sounds awful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-june-16#post-957701 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 01:24:43 +0000 velvetychocolate 957701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate to admit that I've been a real slug in the exercise dept. for a really long time!</p> <p>My "healthy habits this week" contribution is that I managed to get my treadmill all set up in the basement, complete with flat-screen TV. All ready to go. It all starts tomorrow (isn't that always the way?). </p> <p>With regard to weight training - I'm still waffling - join a gym or try and cobble something together at home. In the past, when I was doing some sort of regular weight training, it was always at the gym. Wondering if I can do most of it in my basement? </p> <p>Seems silly and not "all that" but I do have my super-heavy-to-move-around treadmill all set up now. Cleaned up the basement and have turned the "rec room" into something of an exercise room. </p> <p>Does that count?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-june-16#post-957671 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 00:37:08 +0000 MsMary 957671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did well this week.&nbsp; Weight is creeping down every so slowly (we're talking tenths of pounds here), which I like.&nbsp; Did two trainer sessions, a tap class, and three boot camps.</p> <p>I have houseguests next week so not sure how that will affect my workout routine.&nbsp; I am, however, positive it will be horrible for my diet!&nbsp; LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-june-16#post-957500 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 20:05:34 +0000 Kristin L 957500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-june-16#post-957466 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 18:32:02 +0000 Carla 957466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The weather cooperated so I got my bike training in during the commute to work. No missed workouts, and actually an extra swim. Masters swimming wrapped up with coach Tracy providing words of encouragement for all the folks with events this summer. Yesterday, after a 5k run, I did my first open water swim of the season in a small lake that is just a couple of blocks walk from where I live.</p> <p>I get to take it easy this week since next weekend I have my first triathlon of the season! Sprint distance - 750m swim, 20k bike, 5k run. It's on a hilly course, so I am not expecting a PB, but it will be a good test of my changed up training routine. (Starting last November, I added strength training and core work with weekly guidance from a personal trainer.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-june-16#post-957372 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 15:19:04 +0000 Kristin L 957372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good morning everyone! How was your week?</p> <p>This week was little rough. It's harvest, so things are a little crazy. This week I was able to work out for 30 minutes for 3 days on my Wii, so I think I may try to stick with that. I just need to find a workout that works for me. I wasn't able to go to the neurologist because of work, so my rescheduled appointment is now in a month. Uggg.&nbsp;</p> <p>Over to you. What went well this week? </p>
