I do find now I don't eat as much of it because it really makes me feel awful.</p> <p>So tomorrow is another day, I will try and get back on the wagon. I have found that making a nice soup each weekend and freezing it in portions has really helped me for lunches at work. I am not as tempted to graze the candy jars or walk down to the caf to buy something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-12#post-931216 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:27:29 +0000 texstyle 931216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yesterday I spent about 2&nbsp;hours squatting and bending and pulling in the garden doing some harvesting of potatoes, beets, onions and greens. (We now grow about 30-40% of our vegetables). It was a great workout really and my legs and bottom were sure feeling it later. The reward was a nice dinner at home. Went for a long hike on Saturday. <br /><br />I mentioned the breathing training device on the other thread last week (resperate)&nbsp;- anyone with anxiety or high BP may want to check it out. It trains you to breathe more slowly and deeply. You can do it without a device but it just helps you get in the habit I think. I've seen a pretty big change by using it so far. No affiliation with the company or anything, just a rec by my doc a while back so I finally got one.<br /><br />I'm sticking with YLF and sites like apartment therapy instead of the news for hobby reading purposes. I do catch the headlines most mornings so I don't stay away from it altogether, but in general I think we all have information anxiety. I read a book by that title about&nbsp;20 yeas ago and it was really such an insight into the current media.<br /><br />Hope you all have a happy, low stress week full of healthy eating and good exercise (outdoors if possible). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-12#post-931035 Mon, 13 May 2013 07:01:20 +0000 Mo 931035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Kristin, hope the migraines get solved. &nbsp;My BF suffers with them as well. &nbsp;<br />I pigged out completely today at brunch. &nbsp;Ah, well. &nbsp;<br />Rae, would love to hear about your race. &nbsp;I really need to get out there again. &nbsp;It's been since before my trip in late April that I've gone for a run. &nbsp;<br />Today I vowed not to get on the scale for my birthday, and I don't think I will tomorrow either, but I've been back in goal weight range the last week. &nbsp;Just need to concentrate on good food choices and toning up. &nbsp;Been doing well with the food, and even logging it up until yesterday, so that's a big reason I'm still in range. &nbsp;Minding the starchy carbs. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-12#post-930906 Mon, 13 May 2013 01:54:58 +0000 Laurinda 930906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ One great thing about attending the same class every week is getting to know the other regulars, you get&nbsp;a built-in support group. <br /><br />I have a new account at the local consignment store and&nbsp;am spring-cleaning my now too-big clothes.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-12#post-930840 Mon, 13 May 2013 00:50:03 +0000 Anonymous 930840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ lyn*, I love Zumba! &nbsp;So much fun. &nbsp;I've made friends with a lot of the women in class, too. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-12#post-930792 Sun, 12 May 2013 23:31:56 +0000 Raisin 930792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi Girls! &nbsp;Sounds like you are all doing well. &nbsp;Runcarla, I am cringing at those photos of the snow, however. &nbsp;Yuck! &nbsp;I hope it melts very soon.<br /><br />For me this week: nothing! &nbsp;I did my marathon today and I am so utterly sore, I think it will be a full week before I walk normal again...lol. &nbsp;And I really don't want to see my running shoes for a long time, anyway! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-12#post-930780 Sun, 12 May 2013 22:43:07 +0000 annagybe 930780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I lost at least two pounds this weekend to insane weekend of call.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-12#post-930775 Sun, 12 May 2013 22:31:04 +0000 Carla 930775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Travel for work last week and this one coming up is limiting my gym time, but I've paid my dues and my first event ( a 10 k) is 2 weeks away. Like many of you, I'm having to tune out the news...so much horror and tragedy.</p> <p>A foot of new snow today isn't helping my mood, but I know that by the end of the week the temps will be up to spring like norms (16-18 deg. C).</p> <p>DH picked out these flowers for my hallway table display. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-12#post-930771 Sun, 12 May 2013 22:16:04 +0000 lyn* 930771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ @ Kristin -&nbsp;Ah; I have noticed I have been much happier since I have been filtering my news intake - I briefly browse the National Post in the morning with my tea, but then that's about it - no CNN or Fox News. My parents freak out ALL THE TIME because of CNN. Good luck with the neurologist; they are the expert in those headaches!!<br /><br />@ Diane - You look great! I try to take it easy on the salt intake a week before I have to do beach-y things.<br /><br />@ Alicat - Zumba looks so fun, do you enjoy it?<br /><br />For myself; I've been increasing my long walks, but been a bit bad because it's dollar drink days at McDonalds and I usually enjoy a ice coffee on the way home - but at least it's not a fappy from Starbucks which I used to get? Also; gone an entire week without soda pop of any kind. Slowly getting used to elss fizz in my life.<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-12#post-930746 Sun, 12 May 2013 21:14:48 +0000 Anonymous 930746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hope your neurologist is able to help you, Kristin. &nbsp;Greece sounds wonderful, Diane!<br /><br />My plan for next week is to follow the exercise rotation that Jessica Smith posts on her Facebook page "10 Pounds Down,"&nbsp;plus throw in a few Zumba classes. &nbsp;I also want to keep my eating as lean and green as possible.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-12#post-930707 Sun, 12 May 2013 19:31:46 +0000 Anonymous 930707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm similar to you Kristin. I really have to watch my stress levels and try to keep my BP down too. I hope the neurologist can help you.<br /> As for fitness well I did do a short workout earlier today but I just polished off my birthday chocs! Still at least they've gone now <br />Tiredness from menopause hase been a big problem for me, I hope to just try a couple of exercise bike sessions to see if they pick up my energy levels this week. Only two weeks till I go to Greece for my hols when I will do a lot of swimming. Trouble is no sign of a beach bod and I don't think I can do much for that in two weeks. Oh well... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-12#post-930697 Sun, 12 May 2013 19:13:52 +0000 Kristin L 930697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everybody. How has your week gone? </p> <p>My goal for this week is to stay calm and try not to get too stressed out. I have an appointment with a neurologist on Thursday so we can hopefully get these migraines taken care of! I've also realized that I have to limit the amount of news I watch. </p>
