Healthy Habits Week of July 14

Kristin L

Hi everyone. How was your week?

This week was pretty good for me. My neurologist told me that some of his patients have found some relief in gluten-free, so I've been trying it since Tuesday. It's been... different, but I hope it gets better.

This week I plan on doing 3 Wii workouts and 3 strength training workouts.

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

Kristin - I haven't hear that about gluten free and migraines. Mine are completely out of control at the moment so I am keen to hear of anything new. I feel I cannot make concrete plan until I wake up and see how bad things are. The only 2 things that I am aware of that I haven't tried are Acupuncture and botox.
I know that work out can really help but you have to be reasonable migraine free to do it.
I always plan lots...
This week I am planning to go to the gym 3 times for zumba class.
I am also planning to ride my bike 40 mins each morning with my dd before work.
Oh, and swimming with DD in the backyard pool

I over did it at the gym a bit, so I was pretty stiff and sore this week, only got 3 workouts in instead of the usual 4 (bah, humbug) - but this week I only plan to do two - I have double call, and well, we all know how I feel about that

I hear a lot of patients tell me that they are trying the gluten-free thing; I think my diet as it is is pretty gluten-free anyway, but I just eat whatever :p I hope it helps with your headaches!

Going gluten free cured my sister's migraines. Though I think at first she also had to give up sugar and honey. She eventually successfully added back in sweets, but has to stay gluten free (or nearly) forever. She's MUCH healthier without it.

I've worked out 6 days a week for two weeks now, but I missed this morning. I plan to be back in the saddle tonight or tomorrow though - I like the workouts!

I would like to rejoin this group. I need to rejoin this group.

Due to an unfortunate lapse in judgement and a one split second false move at the end of May, I have what my doctor diagnosed as "abdominal strain." She gave me some exercises, but the first time I tried the simplest one the pain got worse. Now it's weeks later and I'm not getting over this. I can do the pelvic tilt, but can't move on to dead bug.

In the meantime, due to relative inactivity and a trip away from home, I gained several pounds, which at my stage of life, go right around my middle. Now nearly every pair of pants I owns too tight at the mid-section, and I'm not a sweats type person. Don't own any. Believe me, you don't want to wear tight clothes when you have an abdominal strain.

So as of Monday I decided to take this problem seriously and stop doing so many things that aggravate the injury. Forget gardening and carrying my own groceries to the car. Pay attention to what I'm eating with a food diary. Haven't even been to the NAS. (Did order some stuff online.)

By posting here I am holding myself accountable. I'll report in with my progress next week. Thanks to you all.

Don't know how I missed this thread earlier in the week!

Wishing you well, Ms. Maven!!

I'm still doing my usual routine: Last week I did two trainer sessions, one tap class, and three boot camp classes.

This week there's no tap so I am doing two trainer sessions and three boot camps. Trainer Dave is really on a rampage and we are starting a new challenge at the gym for the next month so things are ramping up!

Food is pretty good. My budget is tight so I am eating almost all meals at home, which is good for my diet. Haven't been full-on vegan but have been vegetarian. I'll take it. My weight is steady at the low end of my range, which is nice. Would still like to drop a couple of pounds.
