Health/fitness check in

[HoneySpider]

I'm starting this because I just went to the gym for the first time since May 20. Between severe m/s, the D&C, and traveling, I have been out of commission. It was kind of hard to make that first trip back, a little bittersweet because the reason I stopped going after being so diligent was because I was so sick, and now I feel good and am healthy but not pregnant. Ugh.

I told myself to do 30 min on the elliptical and not worry about speed, incline, etc. I did pretty well. 

My eating has been ok, not great, and definitely not good enough to lose any weight, so Monday I am starting back on healthy eating.

I walked 7 miles over the past two days. My brother living here with his fitbit has motivated the two of us. So we compete daily/weekly, and I finally convinced him to ASK me if I'd like to join him on 3+ mile walks instead of him sneaking out at 11 pm or later to go to try to one up me in steps lol.

I had a green smoothie for breakfast, and am about to make a spinach salad for lunch. I have not snacked on any junk today, and have weaned myself back down to one soda again.

I'm a mess in this department right now. I've gained about 30 pounds in this past year. About 10 of those came after the m/c. I've been eating whatever I want and it's gross. I signed up for hello fresh dinner delivery recently and that has helped with avoiding takeout. I need to just get my shit together though and put down the damn mocha frappaccino and donut every morning.

suzv You've got this!

Food is so hard.

I kept skipping working out, so this summer my goal was to walk 1-2 miles, 5 days per week. Simple, but easier to fulfill. I've been doing great! If I skip a day for rain I just go more the next day. I feel better for moving but I'm not miserable like I was trying to do hard exercises. It's a start.

I'm still running 2x a week, but I have fallen off doing my dvds when DS started not going to bed until midnight. I hope to start those back soon.

We're doing meal planning to try not to eat out so much. It's not the healthiest meals, but the goal is just to eat at home.

I've been getting 2-3 workouts a week in. I really need to make some healthier choices with my eating, but it seems like junk good abounds in the summertime!

suzv - are you liking hello fresh? I got a coupon to try three meals and was thinking about ordering for next week.

wanderingenough I do like it! There's a nice selection and the recipes aren't complicated and are easy to follow. If you choose the classic box, you choose three recipes out of five options. It's easy to cancel or opt out of a week if nothing is appealing.

I cannot get my act together with working out.  I have been doing well with healthy eating and have lost 11 lbs since June 15, but that's a small drop in the bucket compared to how much I need to lose!

I'm still chugging along. I've been trying to get a minimum of 10,000 steps on my Fitbit and tracking everything in MFP. Just joined a gym tonight so I can work on training for my 5k in September. I'm down about 23 pounds so far. Which I'm super happy about, but I still have another 65 or so to lose. Trying to focus on the positives instead of thinking about how far I have to go, but it's tough sometimes.

I have been working out 3-4x a week. My eating has improved a little bit, but not enough.

I am feeling a lot better with even just the work outs. I am going to sign up for a 10k run in October. I did the run last year as well and I want to improve on my time this year.

I haven't been running in the past two weeks because life got really crazy and I just haven't had the energy, so I think I'm going to have to start c25k over again. I saw my nutritionist this week, though, and she was really impressed/happy with my food log and diet plan, so I'm feeling pretty good about that.

I really need to get my butt in gear. I am having a hard time finding the motivation to workout in the evening after work. I'm just too tired and feel gross. I guess I need to start waking up early to get it done.

Eating wise, one day I do great then the next goes to hell. I need to really track better. Since it's a new month I am starting new goals. I am going to try and cut out alcohol this month except for 2 planned wineries we are going to in a few weeks. I am going to track 100% on MFP.
