Healthy Habits 11/9

shedev

Is it Sunday already? I focused on eating my veggies and portion sizes this week. Only gained 1 lb from indulging in leftover Halloween candy (and I ate a lot of it) We have 3 bags left but we decided not to open them for awhile. We're a little burned out on candy. I bought a lot of fruit for the next week. Exercise is holding steady.

7 for 7 on exercise this week! 1 swim session, 1 bike session, and 5 short lunch hour treadmill runs. Below the drying gear from mid-week to prove it!

Coming off a 10 day nasty cold and the stomach flu - so did not get any workouts in last week at all until Friday - and wow, did I ever feel weak during that workout! In fact, my cold (mainly congestion) got worse again after my workout, so I skipped working out yesterday and today - hoping that I can go full-force starting tomorrow. I was able to continue to eat pretty well - but did clean up the Halloween stash leftovers, so got a heavy dose of sugar along with the healthy fruits and veggies! I have one more week of my Game-Changer Challenge and in addition to doing much better with my exercise and diet routine, I have made some great new friends - which is super helpful on those days when I struggle getting my butt to the gym!

Was on the treadmill yesterday for the first time in awhile--- it went well but may have caused the flair in chronic illness symptoms yesterday, but I've also been having problems with symptoms at lower levels for weeks. A side effect of increased job stress and the change of seasons --- I'm working in a totally windowless office 9 hours a day and currently we don't have enough AM light to get a road run in and still make it to work, but it is dark when I leave. No sunlight (heck even limited sunlight as it is still warm enough here for outdoor lunch most days) is KILLING me. The SO is on a healthy eating kick, which helps. There is a bowl of halloween candy on his table, but it isn't even appealing at this point (although I dove in last week). I'm trying to substitute tea for soda when I'm feeling crummy (caffiene helps with my symptoms).

I have 2 weeks until my half marathon and I've been slumping, tapering, whatever, even though I should be doing that next week. I'm in hibernation mode ever since the temperatures have cooled down. Ugh, I hate Winter. Anyway, I plan on hitting the gym today, long run tomorrow, class on wednesday, run on Thursday and Friday. This is the plan so far. Wish me luck. Oh, and my eating habits are horrible right now.

Hopefully better this week on the workout front as I skipped several days last week. Wish me motivation getting out for walks in 30 degrees! (Cold snap tomorrow.)

Okay week. I added in an extra long walk and bike ride. Eating was mostly good except for some chocolate!!

It is now feeling more spring like here with warm temperatures and long days. Spent most of the weekend painting a new deck so that was also good exercise!

Well done Carla.

Marley, hope you are feeling better.

Elly, lack of sunlight is a bummer. Hope your flare ups subside soon.

Citygirl DC, hope your marathon goes well, I'm fighting hibernation mode too.

Alasse, sending positive motivational vibes.

Kiwigal, nice to get out into the fresh air.

I had a good week last week. Made it to the gym four times (three trainer sessions and a boot camp class), plus did a nice hike on Saturday that involved climbing hundreds of stairs.

Food was decent, too. I actually managed to drop a pound or two so I'm sitting just below the top of my weight range. Hopefully the trend will continue.

This week I'm shooting for two trainer sessions and two boot camp classes.

Bad week for many reasons, and this week isn't much better. I am working on getting beck to the normal eating and exercising. Very busy and still not feeling 100%. Will not give in to Holiday stress and eating. Will not give in, will not . . . give . . . in!
