How about a weekly healthy living post?

[dixienormous]

I might start C25K in the fall but right now I'm just trying to be more active in general.

H and I got Fitbit bracelets yesterday. It syncs to your computer or your smart phone and logs your food intake, weight loss goals, water intake, sleep, and how many steps you take. It also measures your active movement. It's water proof and doesn't look like anything but a black rubber bracelet. You can choose your own weight loss intensity (we're doing 1.5lbs a week). It will adjust your allotted calories depending on how active you've been, always allowing for the caloric deficit for your weight loss goals.

It's a pretty snazzy gizmo.

I am trying to be more active too, I do have to be better about tracking my intake in MFP though. I need to make sure I am not eating too few calories for my activity level.

I need to get back to working out. I have worked out exactly once since A was born. I am squishy.

Yesterday all I ate way cookies, gummy frogs, and a donut. Today will be better.

I would totally participate in this post though. I've been trying to improve the way we eat. We eat out too much and we both eat horrible lunches. I've been trying a whole bunch of new lunch ideas and they've been excellent!

Yes, sounds like a good plan. I have been slacking this summer with wine and desserts.

This is the board officially dying.

I also want to get more healthy recipes. We're trying to do more meal planning and if I can get better calorie counts that would make it so much more awesome.

I've noticed a serious lack of wrathofkuus posting. Revitalize the board!

I was just tired of the weekly running posts since I don't run.

It's been on the down swing for a long time. Depressing.

Some have migrated to so and some have stopped posting. Yeah, depressing.

I have been trying to eat better. I have decided that anything sweet that I want to eat has to be a fruit. So hopefully I'll eat more fruits and get a fix on my sweet tooth.

I've been tracking on MFP and running 3x a week, yoga or something else the other 4 days.

In that case, I'll just give you a pro-health tip that I realized last night: did you know that, if you add enough butter and cream, having a pot of mashed potatoes and a mimosa is a good, balanced meal?

I've been eating better! Lots of fruit and veggies!

But I'm getting squishy because I'm not exercising

Ideas like these are why I love you so much.

Protein, carbs and fruit - I'm totally on board with that.

Does avoiding being run over by a kid on a scooter count towards healthy living?

Because I totally did that just now.

It is much healthier than the alternative.

That's how I see it, the little shit.
