Healthy Habits Week of Mar. 31

Laurinda

Thank you for the well wishes! My cold has subsided, and I am getting back into my routine. Facial tissues with lotion were a big help for my sore nose -- as was a new type with a menthol scent, which I bought by accident but found very comforting.

I have not had much weight change over the past 3 months but when I tried on my spring/summer pants they are suddenly a couple sizes too big. I know that slouchy is the trend, but after my hard work I am on Team Fitted, so will be visiting the local consignment store to buy and consign.

I hope everyone is doing well!

I only got to the gym twice last week, but I am hoping to get back to normal this week. And thanks to the combined effects of the Marital Separation Diet and the tummy bug, my weight is below 120 for the first time in a long time. I'll take it!

Laurinda I am glad you are feeling better!

MaryK - how tall are you? I can't remember. Hope you are feeling better.

Last week was a washout for me.Last weekend was completely packed, and one of the things I had to go to was emotionally draining as well. I was also uptight with PMT. I decided I had to put rest and housework/washing ahead of exercise in the little time I had last week.I did some overeating and put on about 2 pounds, but now TOM has arrived and is nearly over (I often suffer from varicose veins for a day or to of it, another reason to put my feet up) I am down one of them and ready to start eating more reasonably again. I went out for a little 3.8 run yesterday, but as DD5 and DD7 wanted to come and DD5 can't really run for much more than a km, it was a bit more of a walk than a run, but nice to get out there. Exercise is a great mood lifter for me, and so good if I can get it without having to give up sleep. Loving my sleep ins over easter!

I only got to Boot Camp once last week. I have had a horrible time sleeping this past week - and it has affected every area of my life. If I don't get my sleep, my day is just ruined. When I was younger, I could get by without much sleep, but not. any. more. Because I wasn't able to sleep, I couldn't work out - I just felt sick and weak and exhausted! Very depressing! I did eat OK though. I'm headed to Boot Camp early in the morning - IF I sleep tonight! (fingers crossed!)

It sounds like there were many challenges last week from illness, to life turmoil to sleeplessness and hormonal imbalances. Perhaps this is the week that all will go well.

I ate too much at Easter dinner but am going to work harder at my diet again. I am settling back in at work after being off for 2.5 months (vacation and surgery). Today is a stat holiday for us so I am looking at taking in a hot yoga class at noon. I was going to try a new barre class but it looks like the two offered today are both full.

I need to pick a few classes and go weekly to get out and about and away from the fridge.

Hello ladies. I've lost 2.2 lbs. since my last weigh in (quite a few and I'm delighted. I'm concentrating on losing the last hard-to-lose 10 lbs. and want to change up my routine a bit. I'm thinking about joining a cross-fit program but not sure where to start. I've looked around and now there are options out there, but I'll wait and see.

Meanwhile, I know my weight loss was due to tracking everything I ate. That's helps me stay in control.

I think my pants are fitting better. I think that since I've stopped drinking my calories (except for my crystal light with dinner), I've dropped about an inch. Of course, that's along with exercise. My weight's maintaining, and I'm not going to freak out because muscle weighs more than fat.

I wish my Wii would stop telling me I need to lose weight though. It keeps telling me I need to lose about another 10 pounds so I can have a BMI of 22.

I have been struggling with workouts. Weather, colds and sinus issues, you name it, gets in the way of a weekly run lately. I am up 2 pounds from where I'd like to be. I'm trying to change my mindset from the scale to inches around my waist instead. In that regard, I'm half an inch from my goal. Not so bad I suppose.
Heading to New Orleans in a few weeks, and that means lots of good food, so I'd like to get back down to goal before we go. Guess I better get on the workout bandwagon asap.

I am still recovering from the Easter bonanza this past weekend too! Back to the running and healthy meals. Supposed to do an 18 mile run this Thursday....eeek! Would be my furthest ever, if I manage it.

I have only made it to the gym 2x/week for several weeks now. I really would like to be going 3-4x/week. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has had a setback. Aiming for a better week!
