Healthy Habits: Week of Mar. 10

Laurinda

How is everyone doing this week? No gym for me this week, I'm getting a little R&R in beautiful (and balmy by my standards) Washington State.

Hi Everyone! This is the first time I've posted on the "healthy habits" thread - but, I just noticed it, and thought I'd start participating.

I currently work out at a local "Boot Camp" (which is a lot like CrossFit) 3 times a week - and I absolutely love it! I also (just last week) started swimming one day/week. The hardest part for me (in getting fit) is my diet. I crave sugar allllllll of the time! Today I caved and bought myself a box of Mild Duds - and ate the entire box. It was the first time I had eaten any candy in 3 weeks - and I was hoping that it wouldn't taste that good to me - but it tasted great. Bummer.

My migraine is gone! It turns out that while I had the migraine earlier in the week, I also managed to get a sinus infection as well. I'm awesome like that.

This week is going to be light exercising, so I'm going to keep going for 5 miles a day. I also need to shake this tired feeling I've had since the migraine started.

I think I just got Kristin's migraine! Ugh. I've been pretty lazy honestly with fitness and good eating habits. Work is my excuse, but after this week it should slow way down and I need to get back into gear. Weather is warming up too, so maybe we could take the bikes out for a spin.

Lol, Mrley I know exactly what you mean about the sugar. I'm totally addicted and there is no moderation with me. I have to just cut it

Kristin glad to hear the migraine is gone. They are the worst! I'm sure a sinus infection didn't really help things, lol.

I'm feeling good running just 3 times per week now. Recovery time is really helping my long runs. I may go back to 4 but not this week well be away for the weekend. I'm also happy we have some decent weather again, and I'm getting outside to run a bit. The treadmill gets pretty boring, and is not too scenic.

I'm keeping up with the exercise and the healthy eating plan but have added a couple of healthy snacks to try and balance the weight loss.

A couple of friends have signed up for this and I'm tempted but not insane. I think the forecast is for snow brrr but if the pestering continues I may cave in.

It was a holiday here yesterday so no Pilaties - I ate lots of bread & pasta instead & feel terrible today. Going to yoga this morning!

I did well for 2 weeks, going to the gym 3-4x/week and eating healthy until last week. The combination of bad weather and a nasty cold and sore throat kept me home. To compound it all, DS was home from college last week on Spring Break and we were back to eating "teenager food" - Mac and Cheese, tacos, spaghetti and meatballs. Ugh! Back to the gym and healthy eating this week!

Kristin, glad your migraine is gone. Mo, I hope your's goes away soon.

Julie, just read your link. I like the part about fancy dress being part of the fun!

Hi all. Taking a break from running after my Rock and Roll Half marathon on Saturday. Can't wait until it's over.

The day of the race is supposed to be rainy. Anyone know how to deal /prep for rain on a 13 mile run?

I finally re-upped my lapsed gym membership. Next step, getting to gym. I'm thinking Saturday.

Got in a run today, finally under 10 min/mi again with the waking breaks. I have decided to use my waist in inches, rather than pounds on the scale, as my goal zone. I am in danger zone, belly wise, ha ha so it's damage control time. Just half an inch less and my jeans look and feel oh so much better
