Healthy Habits Week of June 1

I cannot believe we're already in June! Where has this year gone?

How was last week for everyone?

My week went pretty well. My foot is feeling a lot better and I was able to get a few good walks/jogs in. I'm also going to go buy a kettle ball later today and start working out with that.

What are your goals for the week?

Yes, it's crazy that June is here already! I got in my training workouts. Food and wine are better, but not ideal. But hey, it's real life and I'm not looking for perfect.
I did have a good lap swim yesterday where I figured out how to improve my stroke. Hard to self teach.
I do have a problem with my bike's gears I'm going to have to fix. Coincidentally it happened the very day I signed up officially for my triathlon. Figures.
Next week is more of the same. Bike, run, swim, off, brick, swim, gym - repeat. Lol.

As for my new normal on the scale. I'm 30lb fat instead of the 29 I'd like to be. Oh well. 43lb muscle, which is wonderful.

That sounds like my luck Mo. Good luck with your training!

Well, the week's food was pretty good, but I overate on the weekend (veggie-light). I also hit the low weight again for a day before going back up. So, some good, some bad. I hope to get back to counting servings and filling up with fruits/veggies this week. On the plus side, walks have been occurring each day regardless of humidity.

Hi, everyone! I'm doing reasonably well. Did two trainer sessions and a boot camp this week. Had lots going on so didn't get to the gym as often as I'd like, but that's the breaks. Food is okay. My weight is down below my super red light number, which is good. Would like to drop 3 pounds or so but with everything going on I'll take it for now.

Good week except for one bad day when I went to a reception and drank wine--hard to judge how much when they keep refilling your glass--and high fat little nuggets to eat. I made up for it and begin June 1 at the lowest morning weight I've recorded since October 2012! I lost 3 1/2 pounds in May and kept up the exercises.

I can wear all the "before clothes" although some are still tight in the waist. My belly has gone down, but there is still too much extra there.

I'l love to lose another 2-3 pounds this month. The big challenge is an upcoming trip. Travel is where I am weakest and put on the most weight.

I have started running again! A woman down the road and I have been trying to do a little loop around our neighbourhood every night. Tiny distance, and only about 15 minutes of running, but I haven't had to stop and walk except for a crazy rocky hill trail part.

Last week I had an up and a down point. On Wednesday I made my goal of doing 5km in 24 mins on the treadmill. Hooray! Now I am going to keep trying to do it but with a higher incline.
On Thursday I did a circuit class at my work gym. By Friday I could barely walk without pain as my hip was so sore. I had a bursitis there years ago and hoped that wasn't reoccuring. I know I need to work on core strength and stretching out my too tight hamstrings to take the stress off the hips.

Happily by Sun I was okay again and yesterday (Mon) I did a very leisurely 10km accompanied by 2 of my daughters on their bikes. I planned to do 8km but we got lost (yet again!) 10km still seems to take it out of me - I was quite tired today.

Food wise and weightwise NOT going well. Typical start of winter increase in appetite which I need to get to grips with!
