~*~ Tuesday's Getting Healthy Check-In

musicalsilver

Merry Tuesday Ladies!

This check-in is not necessarily exercise-related.  I know a lot of us are trying to eat healthier and give up bad habits thanks to the motivation of pregnancy/new baby, so any kind of getting heathy is welcome here!

What did you do last week?

What are your plans for this week?

What's your long-term/mid-term goal?

GTKY: Any mardi gras plans?  And along those lines - do you practice Lent?

And the leader board for participation!!

Vying for first place with eight weeks under their belts:

@kdc2007 - 3lbs down is awesome!  Well done lady!

@NicoleReed0324 - Maybe try a small piece of dark chocolate for "dessert" - it's heart healthy and not too many calories!

@phishgirl29 - Hope you made it to the gym, and well done on the diet!

@Pitchslap - Hopefully you feel less like dying in step class - that's always a good goal!

@tiffletons518 - I hope your cold is/was short-lived so you can get back to half-marathon training!

@tttwalters - Gravity sounds pretty intense - hope it's a lot of fun for you!

And being wonderfully persistent at coming back to us - with 3 weeks in a row under her belt - @calikat80 - Good luck making it to 6 consecutive 9 minute miles! 

And last but not least, after a three month hiatus - @ItsStackie - Having healthy food in the house is a great way to actually start eating more of it!

OmmmmGeeee! I just signed up for a half marathon in November! Ladies, this is serious, I've only done 5ks.

last week: went a little crazy for the wedding weekend, but before I ate healthy and jogged a bit Wednesday. I also had my soccer game on Sunday, and played better than I thought I would after the weekend.
this week: we are continuing to keep healthier food around, and with DH mobile again he can help cook and clean again! Plan to continue Wednesday jog, and either start going farther or add another day in soon.

goal: now is a half marathon in November!!!

No plans for Mardi Gras, but I am going to a clothing swap tonight.
eta: I don't practice lent.

Last week- Well with the plague I only worked out once, but it was good for something. I lost 3lbs! That's more than I lost all of last month. So, I'm now less than 2lbs away from prebaby weight!

This week- Trying to get back on the wagon. I still can't breathe out of my nose and am coughing a lot, but I'm trying.

Goal- Since I lost a week, I'm now cautiously approaching the half at the end of the month. If not, definitely a half in August. 10 more lbs by mid-May

QOTW- I am a Christian, but I've never really done Lent. I do usually enjoy a Paczki on Fat Tuesday if I can get my hands on a real one, but that's about it.

Last week: diet had been going well but exercise hasn't been a priority since I went back to work. I'm on my feet all day so I'm active but I need my heart rate to increase more than it has been.

This week: another crazy one. I don't see the gym in my future sadly

Goal: tone up!

QOTW:just meat free Fridays.

Last week: ran twice, did abs and arms every day and are pretty well. Got my 5 a day in and lots of water. I still haven't lost the last 8 pounds though so I have to kick it up a notch.

This week: well I just used the babysitting at the gym and it was awesome! The boys all did great and I ran 5 miles. So awesome. Hoping to clock more time that way and this weekend.

Goal: getting to marathon training condition by may. Oh and running said marathon in November of course!

I may give up cheese for lent. Not sure I can do it though. Snacking after dinner would make more sense probably.

Last week, I worked out 5 days but I'm struggling with the chocolates! Eek! I'm maintaining my weight though and I feel really good. I need to just take one cheat day a week or something.

This week: I ran twice already.. Hope to get in at least 3 more workouts!

Goal: tone up that tummy for beach season!

Lent: I LOVE fish fry Fridays! I think it's so cool to support local fire departments and churches. We love going. I typically don't give anything up for lent., but I decided to give up chocolate and desserts. Yogurt only if I need something sweet! Wish me luck

I never join in on this but I am trying hard to get back to prebaby weight so I wanted to read what others were doing.

What did you do last week? I did 3 workouts last week

What are your plans for this week? We are moving so I may not get all of my desired workouts in but my plans are to really watch my eating habits. Especially since we are moving I don't want to give in to something quick and easy unless it is healthy.

What's your long-term/mid-term goal? My goal right now is to lose 15 pounds. I really am only about 10 pounds away from my pre baby weight but I want to lose 15 and get in better shape.

GTKY: Any mardi gras plans?  And along those lines - do you practice Lent? No mardi gras plans and I used to practice lent but I haven't in the past few years now that I am going to a different church that doesn't practice lent.
