Healthy Habits: Week of Nov. 25

A new week, a fresh start!

Hope the US-ians survived Thanksgiving without too much damage, and everyone else is doing well with their plans.

My goal this week is getting to three strength/resistance workouts, plus two pool or dance sessions.

Good luck to everyone this week. I will set my own bar low this week, as I know I'm not going to do anything today for sure and probably tomorrow. I'm still battling the flu and its done a number on my gut. So I'll be here supporting you at least for the first part of the week!

I am pleased to report that I actually went to boot camp class at the gym at 7:30 on Thanksgiving morning! Yay, me! They were closed on Friday but I did go back on Saturday for a total of 5 workouts last week. I'll take it.

We hosted Thanksgiving and had a few days of indulgence, but the leftovers have been eaten or tossed and I am back on track. My weight is up a tad but I am hopeful it's mostly just bloat.

This is the last week before we go on our big trip, so I am determined to work out every day! I think I will add an extra trainer session to send myself off on a high note!

Monday: Trainer, tap class
Tuesday: Boot camp
Wednesday: Trainer
Thursday: Boot camp
Friday: Trainer
Saturday: Boot camp

I am also going to stick very closely to my lowfat vegan food plan so I can get as trim as possible to leave room for some fun with food on vacation!

Have a great, healthy week everyone!

Started today with a nice slow run. I managed to come out of Thanksgiving weekend still below 120 - hooray! No turkey dinner for me, but we had plenty of liquid calories at our street party.
This week will be 3 or more runs, and continue to work on regularly getting in my nightly strength moves.
Food is sort of catch as catch can. We are moving in about 10 days, 2 weeks at the most, so trying not to buy more than we can use. That means more frozen foods, canned soup, etc. At least most of it is the healthier version, like Lean Cuisine's.

X3 Pilates & X1 yoga again this week. It is very hot here so I've been swimming too (the water is so cold though).

My aim this week is to remember to do the exercises my physio gave me, and try a gentle run in a few days.

My kids are all sick with a stomach bug, and one in particular has been for nearly 12 hours. Hoping I don't catch it! Sympathies to Rae! I am pretty occupied looking after them, and hanging out all the towels and sheets that need washing.

Progress! In yoga was able to hold a dolphin/plank pose for around 10-15 seconds (felt like hours ;-).

Anne it seems like that stomach bug is going around here too! I just finished with it....think the baby may have it though.

I did get out for my run today and it felt very good. I guess 3 days off due to the flu wasn't so bad.....other than the flu part, haha.

A short run today. -3 out at the time, and then I saw the postman and I knew my moms Christams gift would arrive, so I cut it early to meet him at home.

Rae, that's so funny - just yesterday I saw the UPS man on my run in the neighborhood. I didn't think too much about it because my Danskos were due to come today. I got home to see I'd missed him - the delivery was a day early! Argh. They just now redelivered.
I probably shouldn't tell you, but it was too warm on my run. Mid 70's. (ducking and hiding now).

Oh you're so lucky Mo! It's getting cold here. I have to wait for it to warm up, was -11 in the am, and by lunch it was -3. There's no wind though, so I'm fine after 5 min or so. I find running in the cold weird though, it's almost like I'm numb and I don't feel it. But I don't feel like I'm working out either.

I am weirdly losing weight this week on a high refined carb low protein diet with no exercise! Oh yes, that'd be the post stomach flu diet! I am not totally sure I got it (unlike DH and the 3 DD.s who were vomiting etc) but I did feel queasy and have that sensitive stomach that you get in the aftermath. Only feeling like eating smallish portions of rice, cereal, potatoes and a few vegies. I have managed an egg one day, a couple of tsps of tuna and yesterday some of a mince curry that I make mild for the kids and usually need to spice up with lemon pickle, I sat though a morning tea yesterday and didn't hanker for the brownies there. I usually love spicy, interesting sauces and food so this is a change.

I doubt it will last long and is probably not very good for me! Might manage a run on the weekend

Everyone seems to have the flu these days! Yuck! Hope you feel better anne.

I almost wimped out on my run today, and decided to do a fast, sprinty run on the treadmill tonight. Only 20 min, but a hard 20 min.
