It's not bad, though I got lazy about measuring etc, so it wasn't much use to me - I have a pretty good idea about calories, check packets etc already but if you didn't it could be a good resource.</p> <p>Well done to all of you this week!! Especially MsMaven.</p> <p>I have a cold last week, as didn't exercise between a 5km run&nbsp;on Mon and a 9km run on Sunday. &nbsp;But I have done 2 &nbsp;x&nbsp;5km (treadmill) runs already this week, the second just a few minutes ago, and with a PB (24:25)</p> <p>I plan to enter a 10km face this weekend, though I haven't actually run 10 km in some months (maybe years) My longterm aim is to do one in less than an hour, but I may not make that this time.</p> <p>Food wise, I cut out sugar for this week. Last week, with no exercise and with the sudden onset of rainy colder weather and the accompanying boost to hunger levels, I had gone up to the top of 'my" weight range. Now I am back down to the middle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-4#post-1245298 Thu, 08 May 2014 04:22:29 +0000 gardenchick 1245298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anyone familiar with myfitnesspal app? It is a way of tracking diet and exercise, I've been playing around with it a bit... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-4#post-1244590 Wed, 07 May 2014 15:53:11 +0000 citygirldc 1244590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last week went well. &nbsp;I exercised 5x with cardio and strength training, but the eating habits are still hard to control although I'm trying. &nbsp;Sunday, we had the 45 mile bike ride in NYC and used my HRM to determine my calories burned. I burned about 1500 calories so we splurged on pizza and wine. It's back on track this week although I keep saying that every week. LOL!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-4#post-1242851 Mon, 05 May 2014 22:46:55 +0000 Kristin L 1242851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! It sounds like things are going pretty well for everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-4#post-1242744 Mon, 05 May 2014 20:30:59 +0000 shedev 1242744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ms Maven, well done. I had an ok week. Got forced to work an extra shift so I missed one of my workouts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-4#post-1242565 Mon, 05 May 2014 17:48:55 +0000 Alassë 1242565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, K! I love it. Mostly onward &amp; upward this week for me, too. I did go on walks every day, which was good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-4#post-1242062 Mon, 05 May 2014 02:25:01 +0000 gardenchick 1242062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let's see--four workouts, including running 3x and one cardio sculpt at the gym. I did skip one workout on Thurs- I had a hard time getting away at lunch.</p> <p>It was my birthday this week so I did consume a lot of chocolate cake!</p> <p>Now that I made it through the birthday celebrations, I'm thinking about being more mindful in my eating, and especially cutting back on sweets and carbs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-4#post-1241725 Sun, 04 May 2014 20:14:17 +0000 MsMaven 1241725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One more thing I should mention: &nbsp;I've hiked up all my bra straps by half to 3/4 inch. &nbsp;The girls aren't so heavy and I can do this without agony. &nbsp;That's a half inch further up from my belly--hooray. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-4#post-1241720 Sun, 04 May 2014 20:04:57 +0000 MsMaven 1241720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good week. &nbsp;In the last 2 weeks I've lost 3 pounds--at last. &nbsp;I can button/zip everything in my closet, although some tight things aren't wearable out of the house. &nbsp;Kept up with exercising--almost overdid it and needed to slow down a bit. I've added more posture exercises.</p> <p>And no wine this week. &nbsp;DH did bring home part of a box of Swiss chocolates a client had brought in. &nbsp;He passed them around the office but left enough for me, although it is killing him for me to be so good and only eat one a day. &nbsp;(70 calls each.)</p> <p>Next week I will continue with exercising, and keep up with the exercise plan. &nbsp;Now that I'm getting closer to my goal I know it will be harder, but the motivation is greater as I succeed. &nbsp;It has taken me a long time to get to this point though.</p> <p>Oh, and I put a couple of pair of pants in the donate pile and some soon to be too big skirts will soon follow.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-4#post-1241418 Sun, 04 May 2014 14:25:16 +0000 Mo 1241418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had one missed workout, too. &nbsp;I got rained out of my lap swim yesterday. &nbsp;I could have dodged the storms on my bike, but it was a cold snap and I wasn't motivated to get out in the low 60's when it's going to be over 85 today until fall lol. &nbsp;So I sipped wine instead. &nbsp;oops. &nbsp;Not even a full bottle over the whole afternoon, and I was pretty good with my food, so not a total loss. &nbsp;Onward and upward.<br />It's Sunday gym day with BF. &nbsp;Then 2x each run, swim, bike for the remainder of the week. &nbsp;<br />On the food front, I realize I need to watch my starchy carbs again, despite doing a lot more cardio. &nbsp;They bloat me up when I have too much. &nbsp;I can handle a moderate amount, about 40 or 45% of my calories. &nbsp;Once I get over 150g or so I start to look puffy.<br />Oh, and let's see if I can do 3 or more pull ups at 15lb counter balance today. &nbsp;If so, I will brave the 10lb next week.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-week-of-may-4#post-1241408 Sun, 04 May 2014 14:14:43 +0000 Kristin L 1241408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it inappropriate to start this post saying "May the 4th be with you?" :)</p> <p>How was last week for everyone?</p> <p>Mine went pretty well. I missed a workout, but it was due to a migraine. I've finally learned that when I get one, I need to rest and take it easy. For all of those who also get migraines, have you tried drinking gatorade during it? It's not like a magic bullet for me, but it seems to help make it a bit more bearable.&nbsp;</p> <p>My goals for the week are to keep up with my workouts and to keep trying to fix my gut.&nbsp;</p> <p>What are your goals for the week?</p> <p> </p>
