Healthy Habits Week of July 28

Kristin L

Hi everyone! How was your week?

The conference went very well and I didn't eat too bad. Now that I'm back home, it's time to go back to eating better and exercising. My goal is to get 3 Wii workouts and 3 strength training and yoga workouts in.

What are your plans or goals for the week?

Congratulations for getting through the conference without having a dietary disaster!!

I had a tough week and gave myself permission to eat some junky stuff to help get through it. Maybe not the best coping mechanism, but it kinda worked and I am committed to cleaning up my act in the week ahead.

I did do okay with exercise, although not quite as well as usual: Three boot camps, one tap class, and only one session with Trainer Dave due to my schedule being a little messed up.

Plans for the week ahead: Three boot camps, two trainer sessions. (No tap because our teacher is on vacation.) Eat better.

Sounds like a good week Kristin. I had a hit or miss. Stayed home on my days off, so no beer at the beach with friends. That was good. But once I got back to my crazy busy shifts, I was grabbing food at work, which is not so good. Was down a pound or twp on my days off, and right back up once I got working. Sigh.
I did get some weights lifted on our home gym and an interval run, at least!
This week I'm just hoping to get in another run and avoid beer

It was a pretty good week for me. I've been doing a planks challenge every night and I held a 3-minute forearm plank last night and the night before! =) I also went running twice with my oldest, who is turning 10 this week. My husband, my two oldest, and I are doing a Color Run 5k in a few weeks and I think the oldest and I are actually going to try to score a decent time, even though the event is untimed. I am a slow runner so my expectations are not that high... I will be happy if I run all 5k without stopping to walk! I think we can pull it off.

This week I am continuing my planks challenge and hoping to get a couple more runs and at least one toning workout done. It's shark week so I'm hoping to stick to my diet and not go all hormonal off the rails. =)

I met my exercise goal, which was gym 3 times and walking every day. Same goal this week. I did not have a good food week though. When I planned my food, I was fine. When I didn't....

So this week I will plan my food day before I go to bed. I don't think I can handle planning ahead more than that.

Did I say I hate to plan my food?

Marit I have been running with my 10 year old too. Last 5km fun run we did she beat me by 2 minutes!
My goal has been to get back into a good routine now I am working ft. I has put on weight 2 kg over the top of my personal range. I have joined the gym at my work, been more disciplined about eating and am working out how to incorporate exercise into my commute. Going well!

Today my DH noted that I look more lively and active. After a few somewhat painful yoga sessions--very moderate--I notice I am more limber and moving easier. I hadn't noticed just how stiff I had become. The challenge now is not to overdo.

I am so impressed with you Marit. I tried a plank last night--managed 15 second--and now I regret it. A bit too much for my injured abs.

I'm not sure why I'm not losing weight--normally it's easy for me to drop weight I recently gained while traveling. I think I need a tune up on my food diary--maybe I am underestimating quantities.

It's good to account for myself each week.
