~~ Tuesday's Getting Healthy Check-In ~~ / Show off your shoes!

musicalsilver · March 2014

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: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?

Extra bonus GTKY: PIP your running shoes! Or, if you're not into running, your work-out shoes. Or, if you're not into that, just your favorite shoes!

And the leader board for participation!!

11 weeks strong, tied for first:

@kdc2007 - Maybe your stomach bug helps toward the waist-reduction goal even if you couldn't work out? Hope you're feeling better!

@NicoleReed0324 - It's wonderful that LO is so cooperative with your workouts - I hope it continues!

@phishgirl29 - Excellent job keeping up with your routine!

@Pitchslap - Hopefully the chiropractor helps you as much as it did for @calikat80!

@tiffletons518 - I hope your house is full of healthy people this week!

With 6 weeks - @calikat80 - I'm so glad your chiropractor was able to help so much!

With 4 weeks - @ItsStackie - My job is to be your guys' cheerleader ;-) Or just to run the check-in ... you know, same difference.

With 3 weeks - @LBeez13 - Good luck finding a workout class you're into!

And last but certainly not least with 2 weeks - @tttwalters - *Only* ran? That's a wonderful thing to keep up!

musicalsilver · March 2014

I forgot to take a picture of my shoes :-( I'll do it tonight!

I don't normally participate in my own check-in, but I had to share ... I got picked in the lottery for the world's largest 10K!! At least I think it's still the world's largest ;-)

4th of July - me and 60,000 of my closest friends. I'm pumped :-D

tttwalters · March 2014

that's awesome @musicalsilver!

WasNotWas · March 2014

holy moly @musicalsiver that's a lot of K's!!

tttwalters · March 2014

What did you do last week?

I ran and did weights, and went to the gym twice. It would be easier for me to go on the weekends if DH would come with and it is something we could do together but I think I am going to cancel DH's membership. We pay $60 a month and he has been 3 times since January. I don't know how to motivate him anymore. He used to be so fit, and into running and biking and now he does nothing. We went for a walk last night and that's about all he will do. (sorry for the rant)

What are your plans for this week?

The weather is finally warming up, the sun is nice and warm and the cold winds have died down so I feel more motivated to go out for long runs. I used to love running 2x per day, morning and lunch time. I found it really helped with the stress at work. I am going to get back to that routine at least 2x per week. Before DH leaves for work, and once with William in the afternoon.

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

To do a sub 2 hour half marathon. A friend wants to do an ultra (80km) but I think with the stress of moving and going back to work around the same time that the ultra is, it may be too much. Has anyone ever done one?

GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?

A golden retriever, is anyone surprised?

this pic was from this morning, I am hoping my days of wool socks and long pants are numbered! I started wearing Mizuno's post baby as my feet grew to an 11, I was always an asics wearer and they do not make my shoe in 11. I love these shoes though!

itsStackie · March 2014

What did you do last week? Not much. I played soccer, and walked often. I failed at eating healthy, but I got my coupons and plan to take over the grocery shopping again soon.

What are your plans for this week? Plan to run tonight or tomorrow and one more day before I go to the beach for a few days. Hopefully it stops raining.

What's your long-term/mid-term goal? Marathon in November. Want to be able to do a 5K by May/June

GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? Tiger, because I would be awesomely strong and I look pretty good in stripes. Plus, tigers are pretty lazy.

Extra bonus GTKY: PIP your running shoes! Or, if you're not into running, your work-out shoes. Or, if you're not into that, just your favorite shoes! I forgot my pump this morning and when I ran back in I remembered to take a pic for today. Score~!

RedCherry1109 · March 2014

I'm Back!!

What did you do last week? I walked 8 miles.

What are your plans for this week? trying to hit 20 miles this week.

What's your long-term/mid-term goal? To lose weight and get fit.

GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? ummm....A house cat so that I can be fat and lazy all day.

Extra bonus GTKY: PIP your running shoes! Or, if you're not into running, your work-out shoes. Or, if you're not into that, just your favorite shoes!

I love the color red!

Lizzybizzy80 · March 2014

Hi all! The running sock thread gave me a kick in the rear. Accountability really helps me so I'm going to just jump in.

Last week was tough because I had friends staying with us. We stayed up late and had too much wine. I did walk 4 miles near my house.

I plan to walk today, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I hope to start adding in jogging soon.

Long term goal is to be a healthy mom. I'm already an older mom and I want to be able to keep up and be a healthy role model. Mid term goal is to tone up and lose about 30 lbs.

Unhealthy me would be a koala because they mostly eat and sleep. Healthy me will say golden retriever.

tiffletons518 · March 2014

Last week- I survived. Lol. If one good thing had to come out of the stomach flu, it would be that I'm now 2lbs under pre-baby weight. I think once I drop all my period bloat I may even be seeing the 140's. There aren't words for how happy that makes me.

This week- I've done Jillian every day. I haven't had the time/energy for Bob yet. Getting to the gym with H's schedule hasn't been an option either. However, we're supposed to hit 50 on Friday, so come hell or high water I will be going for a run.

Goal- I am roughly 7lbs from goal weight, so get there and tone up some more. I'd like to get back to consistently running under 10 min miles too. I feel so slow now and I'm ready to get back where I was pre-pregnancy.

Qotw- I have no idea. I'd probably be some sort of dog. Is there a breed that's super lovey but also kind of a spaz? That'd be me. Ha.

My shoes... one run outside and I've already christened them with some mud. They are about to get so much dirtier.

tiffletons518 · March 2014

Am I the only one who can't see @tttwalters pic? I was promised ugly socks!

WasNotWas · March 2014

Alright I'm back!!

What did you do last week? Last Friday I started the couch to 5K app, Saturday and Sunday I walked 4 miles each day while pushing Ty in the stroller, and yesterday I did day 2 of the app.

What are your plans for this week? This week starts with today! I'm about to go to the Y at lunch, I am so excited. I miss fitness being a priority because I miss ME being a priority. I plan on doing day 3 of this week tomorrow and doing some light weights Thursday. Friday I might go to the gym at lunch or take the day off, the weekend will be more walking with the kid.

What's your long-term/mid-term goal? Long-term goal is 30 lbs. I can't believe I just wrote THIRTY POUNDS. Keep in mind, I lost all my baby weight in the first month..ugh. Mid-term goal is to be consistent and just physically do something every day for a while

GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? I would be an elephant! I love them, they are so cute and majestic and get to play with their food.

Extra bonus GTKY: PIP your running shoes! Or, if you're not into running, your work-out shoes. Or, if you're not into that, just your favorite shoes!

I will PIP in a bit, I'm gonna take a pic while I am at the gym!

tttwalters · March 2014

damn it, let me try this again!

tttwalters · March 2014

@tiffletons518, I am jealous of your recent weight loss, even if it was caused by sickness.

also I am loving all the new people!

itsStackie · March 2014

@tiffleton518 - heelers aka Australian cattle dogs are super lovey and super spazzy.

We almost adopted one a year ago, but realized one spazzy mutt would be enough especially with a baby on the way.

itsStackie · March 2014

@kdc2007 I've always wanted a border collie, but know they need a lot of attention too. My parents have an Australian Shepard though which I helped raise, he was a frisbee champ too until he had some hind leg problems. I love my mutt, but sometimes I just wish she were fluffier like Collies. Maybe when we are ready for our next dog we will tell the SPCA our preferences.

WasNotWas · March 2014

@tttwalters, turns out I'm an 11 too. The running store lady kind of gave me the side eye and said my selections would be limited

itsStackie · March 2014

I had to add a pic of my handsome boy. My dog is always so jealous and tries to steal the frisbee from him.

yep, us and our giant feet! I still wear 10's in everything else though because there are no cute size 11 shoes.

needanustart · March 2014

Last week: DH was gone and then sick so I had limited backup on trying to get out and run or workout, but I managed to squeeze in 2 runs and didn't eat too crappy. Lots of wine. Oops.

This week: get back on track food wise. Ds1 came upstairs while I was nursing Lo and told me he was getting out Pb and carrots for him and Liam because "it's healthy so you won't be not happy about it." It was inspirationally cute and I need to follow my own advice!

Goal: marathon in November! If Pamela Anderson can do it, right?

Animal: bird. Would love to fly. And I love treehouses so a birdhouse would be cool.

Kicks: saucony foreva!

No longer the best · March 2014

I'm lurking ... I want to come and play in this thread but I am a bit scared.

I have 2 unofficial goals the first is to lose 20 pounds (10 of that is baby weight still). My second goal I'm a bit embarrassed to admit is to be able to do a full sit up. In my Pilates class I felt think I was the only one who couldn't do it and I felt shitty about it.

tttwalters · March 2014

@nolongerthebest, don't be scared. We love you!

No longer the best · March 2014

And I would love to be either of my animals they are provided with food they didn't have to work to be able to buy they can nap whenever they want!!!

Western Diva · March 2014

What did you do last week? I ran 5k on a treadmill (walked 5 min, ran 15, walked 3, ran 15, walked 2, ran 3)
What are your plans for this week? Run 5 k one evening, spin on Saturday
What's your long-term/mid-term goal? Run all of 5k while pushing both boys this summer
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? Bird, flying must be fun!
Extra bonus GTKY: PIP your running shoes! They are pretty old although running has been sporadic over the last 3 years! Probably time for new ones.

needanustart · March 2014

@tttwalters‌ I did an ultra relay. I ran about 36 miles over 24 hours (3 long legs). It was brutal but so cool! If I did it again I would do a 12 person instead of a 6 person team because it was intense then and I was at my peak fitness. Ultras can be really fun, the thing is you really have to want to do it or it will just suck.

phishgirl29 · March 2014

Last week: I was solo due to DH gong on a drinking trip with his friends and then I got a stomach bug. I lost 4lbs so that's something I guess.

This week I hope to swim again. There needs to be 28 hours in a day!

Goal is to tone up.

QOTW: I would be any animal with zero responsibility. I'm always overthinking and taking care of others so I would want a change in my animal life.

I've been swimming a lot so no one really wants to see my feet, do you

musicalsilver · March 2014

Excuse the puppy photo bomb. Once I saw that these had what looked like DNA on them I pretty much decided fate was telling me I had to get these shoes ;-)

NicoleReed0324 · March 2014

Last week: skipped a few workouts but I did well with my food!

This week: hit the weights and treadmill!

Goal: tone up tummy! Csections suck

I would love to be a giraffe. It's my favorite animal ever.

Here's my shoes! A Christmas gift from my parents to go along with the treadmill they got me! I love them

LBeez13 · March 2014

What did you do last week?I continued my 4 days of hard workouts. My husband and I also took baby K and went and ran the trail around the lake downtown. It is a big thing to do in Austin so it was a nice fun Saturday workout for us.

What are your plans for this week? I just want to stay consistent and continue my 4-5 workouts.

What's your long-term/mid-term goal? Long-term goal is 15 pounds. Mid term goal to reach by end of April is to lose around 8 pounds.

GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? I never know how to answer this question. Everyone always has something cool to say and I can never think of anything. I guess I would pick monkey and I have no idea why.

Extra bonus GTKY: PIP your running shoes! Or, if you're not into running, your work-out shoes. Or, if you're not into that, just your favorite shoes!

I don't have a pic on my comp but I always wear Nike Free's to run.
