Healthy Habits Week of April 14

Kristin L

Hi everyone. How was last week? It's been beautiful (and warm) down here, so that means lots of outdoor walks! I can't describe how happy that makes me. I found this interesting desk workout the other day. I've done it a couple of times and it's really helped when I just need a small break from staring at my computer.

Looks likea good stretch for the back Kristin!

Running up the miles is making me a carb monster. I can't stop looking for sugar. I almost can't wait for the marathon to be over just so I can try to get back to healthy eating. I'm doing my best. One more long run this week, and then it's all just maintenance until the race. We're gone to Croatia for 10 days and the when I get back it's only 11 days away, so can't do much more than 5/6 miles. Not that I'm complaining

I went to the gym this morning. I am so deconditioned. I used be able to hold a plank for a full minute no problem. Today I could only do 40 seconds.
Also I got a massage and the masseuse said my neck was incredibly tight and I need to do more stretching.
I did however resist buy a slice of carrot cake today while grocery shopping.

Somehow I missed last week's thread, but I did make it to the gym five times plus tap class, so I'm counting it as a success. I ate a lot but I'm giving myself a pass given that I moved last Saturday. My weight is up a pound or so but I hope I can get it back where it was this week.

I watched a great movie today that inspired me to recommit to a plant-based diet: "Forks Over Knives." I did my grocery shopping so I am all set for the week.

My exercise plan is three boot camps, two trainer sessions, and a tap class.

Good luck, everybody!

Thanks for starting the thread Kristin!

This is almost fashion related: I debuted the new purple swimsuit, and it was so much better than my old faded bagged-out suit. I forgot the boost (not to mention holding power) a gal can get from new workout wear.

Hey all, hope you don't mind if I join in. I 'won' last week with most amount of weight loss on a challenge group I joined on my book swapping site. Kinda fun, since I win an extra credit for a book, always welcome.

It is gorgeous out today and I am itching to go for a walk at one of our local parks, but I am stuck inside waiting for the phone repairman. :/

I've done something to my back so I'm just walking this week. The weather is perfect for it so that's good.

My back is acting up too so, like Caro, I'm also walking. Got out four times last week and both days so far this week. I may try to get back to the gym midweek.

Ugh, this long weekend was terrible food and exercise wise. I am planning to eat healthy and work out every day for the rest of the week.
