Get Healthy Wednesday!

[partiallysunny]

How's everyone doing? Anyone get back on the bandwagon? Anyone fall off?

I've taken a few mile long walks with my H while pushing my son in his stroller this week.

Last week and this week while watching The Biggest Loser, I did some pushups and situps. It's impossible to watch that show and not get off your ass.

My eating has gotten better. I'm not reaching for the sweets after work like I have been. I eat one granola bar when I get home from work and that lasts me til dinner.

I still eat the sweets though. I've just cut back. 2 or 3 cookies instead of 12, lol.

Small steps.

I'm doing okay - trying not to kill myself with diet and exercise because I want to be prepared for my half marathon. It's only a week and a half away omg!

[sparksfly]

Well, I haven't been around much lately, life and work have sucked a lot lately. And I am so far off the wagon, I can't even see the wagon anymore. Sigh. Really need to get back in gear with the working out and eating better. I was down almost 20 pounds and put it all back on and I think I gained more then the 20 back.

Thanks lady. I feel like I have a screw loose for signing up for this thing. I do not enjoy long runs like I used to, but I'm done with them until the actual race and hope that I will just be able to relax and enjoy it!

Hi sparksfly. It's good to see you here again, but I'm sorry you're stressed.

I definitely fell off the wagon this week, and I think it's starting to affect certain things (haven't been sleeping very well.) I've got to get back on track. I know this, and I feel guilty that I've had zero willpower this week. Blech.

[partiallysunny]

Don't feel guilty margarita! Bad days happen. So do bad weeks. Hell, I had four bad months.

I have been crap in the workout department, but I have been pretty good in the portion control department. I need to get back on the stick.

[margarita]

Thanks partiallysunny. You're right, and I know I would say the same thing to anyone else. I do think it's connected to some things that have happened/been going on the last week or so. My motivation started to tank around then. I'll get back on track one of these days! Next week is looking good.

[partiallysunny]

You can do it margarita!

While I'm mildly comforted by the fact that I haven't seemed to have gained any weight in the last 2 months, it doesn't feel like I've lost any either. I'm eating smaller portions, but it's really just smaller portions of unhealthy crap... the weather is gloomy and all I want to do is sit on the couch with a fire in the woodstove and eat comfort food.

After I get back from my trip next week I'm joining a gym. I already know which one, I just don't want to spend the money on it until I get back.

[partiallysunny]

Maintaining is nothing to sneeze at starrieskies

I did not do any pilates or stretching classes this week, but I'm planning to do one Saturday.

What I have been doing, that I'm fairly proud of, is cooking more, which means I'm eating healthier. Last night I made sweet potato apple soup again and pot roast. I almost couldn't finish my portion because I've been eating less. But I do still reach for sweets when I'm stressed.

I am eating better. It will help now the H said he is on a diet. It's hard to eat healthy when the other person in your household isn't.

I need to get back to working out. I do so well then stop. The only thing that helps me I think is I walk a lot. I did dance my butt off Saturday night but it's not enough to call a work out.

Thanks for the hugs ladies. It has been a long year, my grandfather died right before Thanksgiving, I had a minor surgery to remove a saliva gland removed (had a stone in it) and right after Labor Day my grandmother died. And through all of that I have been working overtime on a regular basis(getting better fingers crossed) and now we are starting the process of cleaning my grandparents house out. Which is an adventure all on its own.

I have stopped running.  I want to begin again.
I did start doing a weekly yoga class at work.  Which is nice.

The side effect of upping my ad dose is weight loss.  My appetite HAS dipped down.  Especially when I have anxiety.  So right now, although I'm not making the healthiest choices, I'm eating way less than my usual. My stomach is rumbling right now but I just have no desire to go get some soup or something.

Good luck with the half DL! I hope the tapering helps. Is there any awesome incentive to get to the finish line (aside from the whole running thing, which is awesome in itself, but sometimes a girl needs a beer or a cupcake)? Do you need someone with a tempting goodie at the finish line?

I'm readjusting to buying vegetables after a summer with a CSA (where we'd get a ridiculously large box of beautiful vegetables each week). No matter how hard I try, I don't seem to be able to deliberately buy the same quantity. At the very least, though, I'm no longer intimidated by Southern greens!

There's a wagon? Where?

Baby steps, muddled. Baby steps.

At least that's what I keep telling myself.
