Healthy Habits week of April 21

Kristin L

Hi everyone! How was last week? I hope everyone is safe and a little bit more at ease since the suspect was caught.

I fell off the wagon a bit. I had another migraine (uggg) so not much was done this well. this week I'm hoping to get some walking done during my lunch as well as when I get home. Does anyone have a fitbit? How have you liked it?

I am not sure what a fitbit is! I do have a GPS running watch which I just love!

I have been off the wagon food wise for a while! Exercise wise I managed 2 rpm classes and a pump class last week, all at 6am which made me mighty yawny at work on Friday afternoon, and one 5km run plus a couple of 2-3km walks with the kids.

This week I am heading to the city and that combined with feeling that I either beginning or fighting off a cold, means I am going to lay off the exercise for a bit for the moment.

I'm shooting for 3 weight workouts, 2 cardio workouts, and one yoga workout in the upcoming week.

I'm going on a beach trip with my sisters and nieces in a month. I'm motivated!

I don't have a fitbit but I know a few people who swear by 'em!

I made it to the gym five times last week (three boot camps, two sessions with Trainer Dave), and to tap class. Weight is holding steady despite the fact that my BFF and I had a couple of sleepovers at the Bachelorette Pad featuring junk food and wine! LOL So I count the past week as a win!

Plan for this week is more of the same -- plant-based diet, minimum five sessions at the gym, and work on my sleep hygiene as well.

I was going to try to write something impressive about bike commuting 4 roudtrips I would have usually driven before 3 weeks ago. But I am eating a chocolate chip cookie. I kind of feel silly posting on the healthy habits thread WHILE eating a cookie .....

Hahahaa Sarah A! I just got finished eating a Trader Joe's Joe-Joe - chocolate with vanilla bean creme center. So, I know what you mean. HowEVER, I try to give myself a little bit of a break on weekends and then really stick to healthy food during the week.
Last week I did really well on the eating part - not so good on the exercise part. I have been having to get up super early to take my husband to where he meets his carpool partner - and because I'm not going to bed any earlier, I am just beat all day long and consequently talk myself out of exercising. I, like MaryK need to work on my sleep hygiene - its really unhealthy right now!

This is inspirational to see how well you all are doing!
I've gotten into a good routine, but for only two days/week. This week I am scheduling *something* (could be yoga, pool, workout or a walk) for every day, and writing it in my calendar. In ink, LOL.

i'm back in! I'm hoping to get back to running shape. Ran this weekend and have been climbing regularly. I also want to add some core strength and attempt to have flat abs at this late stage in my life! Smoothies are my new saviour.

I had an active week last week. Walked five days and did several hours of yard work. Off to a good start this week - walked yesterday and did a Pilates class this morning. DD is coming home tomorrow for a visit and we are planning on doing a few yoga and body sculpt classes together. Should be fun!

Hi all! When I measured my waist last week I swear the tape measure had shrunk!... Any hooo, I decided it's time I got a bit more serious with exercise as I'm hitting the beach in 5 weeks! I started off by doing a whole lot of gardening on Saturday and then on Sunday I did a weights and cardio workout. I'm going on the exercise bike later today too. Combining this with just cutting down on portions and eating very little sugar will hopefully do the trick. I reackon I need to just shift around 3lbs, though I doubt the scale will alter much Iif I gain a bit more muscle. As long as I measure less I'll be happy. Wish me luck.
