Healthy Habits Week July 21

Kristin L

Hi everyone! How was last week?

My week is going to be a bit crazy because of work (it's conference time!). My goal is get lots of walking in and make sure I eat healthy.

What about you? What are you're goals for the week?

Same ol, same ol. Two trainer sessions, tap class, three boot camp classes.

We are doing a challenge at the gym. We do three minutes on the Strider machine and see if we can beat our personal best for average watts, which is the amount of energy we put out. We started last week and I swear, I was slain by the end of the week! Big fun!

Food has been okay. Still vegging it. I made some hardboiled eggs this weekend for some healthy portable snacks.

My goal is to ylf my food and to think of eating higher quality foods, smaller quantities. And to go to the gym three times, and walk my dog at least once a day.

1 weekday workout last week: 2 miles + 2 sets of weights.
Yesterday (7/21): 3.1 miles + 1 set of weights.

Ideally I'd do:
1 workout between Mon-Wed
Lots of walking in Seattle Thur-Sat
1 workout next Sunday

My goal is to continue what I did last week: don't do things that stress my abdominal strain. I do feel somewhat better this week and I think it's getting better. If not better within the next ten days I make an appointment with a physiatrist.

Kept food diary every day until dinnertime when it fell apart. I see where I am going astray (dinner, eating out, wine) and I will try to correct it.

Kept doing the stretching exercises. This helps.

Drink more water.

My goal is to get in any non work exercise. I need to work on 3 servings of fruits and veggies each day too. I know, it's minimal, but I'm not even hitting those numbers. It's sad. Work is taking over my life this month.
Big picture goal is to just maintain at 119 through the rest of summer.

I had been working out hard and consistently since Christmas but the extended summer holiday is proving disruptive. Everytime I pop the DVD into the machine the 'MUM CAN I HAVE' starts, so I am going to cut myself some slack and just do what I can until mid August.

Something else I have been mulling over, often our aim is to tone up but what does this mean to you, is it reducing body fat or gaining a little muscle definition?

Argh, I can't edit my earlier post, so I'm just going to add posts as I do my workouts.

Today (Tuesday), I ran 5k on the treadmill and did one set of weights.

Like RoseandJoan I am struggling with the summer interruptions. This week I have decided that I must get more serious. I did go to the gym today for a very challenging 60 min zumba class.
I also downloaded the app called MyFitnessPal which is essentially a diary/tracker to help keep on track and become more aware of things. Several people I know have had great success by using it. I did this today and hopefully can see some benefits from using it soon.
For this week the plan is
daily walk of 45 mins
3xgym

My first goal is to continue the daily exercise I have been doing -- at least a half hour, preferably an hour of either swimming or walking/running. It's been so hot here that I've been swimming instead of running.

My second goal is to work on my eating habits. I'm mostly pretty good, but I do get lazy with my choices, and I have a sweet tooth. It will be easier now that the boys are out of town -- I tend to eat healthier when we're not doing so much entertaining and hosting.

My mini triumphs today were some planks and grabbing salad to go with my steak for din din. Baby steps.
