Healthy Living Check In~7.25.16

[wifey]

Hi Ladies!

This check in is open to everyone, so please feel free to jump in to discuss your healthy living goals.

How did you do with your goals last week?

Any challenges?

Best part of the week?

What goals would you like to set for this week?

QOTW: Was there an area of study that you enjoyed, but did not pursue?

[wifey]

I didn't set any goals but I did ok. I was very active, but definitely plowed through a little sugar, and had a drink most nights.

Challenges: Just trying to squeeze in time for myself. It is an ongoing challenge for sure. Plus PMS. I think I'm on CD 55 now and have felt hormonal and expect AF any day. (PCOS)

This week I want to get some yoga in, and go back to cleaner eating. I had a good workout this morning, so off to a good start.

QOTW: I definitely enjoyed psychology, but it wasn't on my radar for career pursuits.

Awesome DoesItComeInPink! Keep it up!!

Great job, DoesItComeInPink!

wifey - FX AF shows up soon.

I did great with activity - over 80 active minutes every day from Friday to Tuesday. But I'm truly exhausted. My body was not ready for all that walking/running/swimming.

And my FitBit bit the dust while on vacation. I think between the age of the device (2 years) and the salt water, it just couldn't function anymore.

I'll set some goals next week.

Challenge was definitely the vacation food. All the food...

QOTW: Photography. I took photography throughout high school and LOVED it. I took one college course, and was asked to participate in a special trip/exhibit. It was magical. But sadly, I knew at that time I couldn't make a living doing it, plus I love black-and-white film, not digital. That's a dying art.

I just started working out last night after having DD 3 weeks ago. I had a really easy delivery so my OB encouraged me to go back when I was ready. I am a Body Combat junkie. I also got a meal plan from my trainer so will be starting that Monday.

Question - I have a jawbone but it seems to keep breaking. What is everyone's thoughts on Fitbit and what model is your favorite?

[oldbaylover1024]

Hi, jenn83! Welcome I had a FitBit Flex and liked it (it's the $99 variety). I thought about upgrading, but honestly, the Flex does everything I need it to do. However, mine only lasted about a year. Then it stopped charging, but FitBit replaced it for free! The replacement just gave up the ghost this weekend. I plan to upgrade to an Alta. I like the sleek look.

And good luck getting back to your routine post-baby!

Hi jenn83, welcome! I have the Charge HR thanks to Santa, and I'm really enjoying it. The challenges and badges are fun motivators, and I love the options to set a variety of goals, and see my daily calorie burn. I'm not a fan of wearing watches, so I can be bad about taking it off and not getting credit, but I'm getting better!

[oldbaylover1024]

wifey - The watch thing was why I'm not sold on the Charge HR. I keep thinking if I'm going to spend this much on a FitBit 'watch', maybe I'll get an iWatch instead. At least their prettier (vainest reason ever to buy an iWatch v. a Charge HR).

oldbaylover1024, I hear you, nothing wrong with liking cute things! All the best with upcoming results! Will you want to know the team when that info becomes available?

Oh, and yesterday, I got my castle badge for 200 floors....yeah baby! My almost 43 year old knees just asked me "why!?".....

Thank you! I'm very anxious for some reason. I don't know why. I'm sure it's just AL anxiety, but it's strong... very strong And yes, we'll find out the sex! MH gave our office the 'okay' tell me when they call with results, so I'll know before him! Must figure out a fun way to tell him the news...

[wifey]

oldbaylover1024, That's wonderful! I'll be thinking about you. Hang in there!

[wifey]

oldbaylover1024, 200 in a day...

[eliz77]

How did you do with your goals last week? Not too bad, exercised more, still drank so probably cancels each other out!

Any challenges? LO has decided he does not sleep before 12:30am, which is making my 6am works difficult.

Best part of the week? Seeing a number on the scale I haven't seen in like 8 years!

What goals would you like to set for this week? Lose another 3lbs

QOTW: Was there an area of study that you enjoyed, but did not pursue? Biology

[wifey]

Way to go eliz77!! I hope LO starts going down earlier for you soon. For the past 3 weeks Cole (7 mo) has been waking up several times a night and mornings have been harder for sure.
