Healthy Living, August 19

[iamlindabelcher]

This week I'm trying to keep active. I've been doing walking/swimming 5 days a week but I'm feeling exceptionally lazy this week. I went swimming yesterday at our Y which was a great workout. I'm going to go swimming tomorrow and try and do a walk Friday so I will get at least 3 active days in.

Also, I'm trying not to eat everything but, unfortunately, I had a cherry cordial sundae yesterday and it was so good that I don't even care.

Same as usual. Running and strength training regularly, but especially after a long weekend away, my diet needs to be cleaned up. But my need for gummy candy prevails at least a few times a week!

Currently running 4 days a week. I've cut my long run back to 10 miles. I'm trying to clean up my eating because I am crazy bloated from almost anything I eat.

You guys are very motivating! I am also still running four days a week with a weekend long run, but am not doing speed workouts. It's hot here now so I think my slowing down/lethargy is not entirely a product of being pregnant.

I have been very focused on maintaining a healthy diet because I'm vegan so want to make sure I'm getting all the stuff I need now. I have been pretty good (for two weeks...) about cutting out the random junk I used to eat.

Still running, 4-5 times per week right now.  I've slowed my pace way down already though.

This week my plan is 3, 5, 3, 11 miles.  I have a half marathon on Sept 12 that I'm still planning to run (or run/walk), but NOT race.

Running is good for my anxiety levels.

I am just continuing the C25K that I started and am hoping to do a 5.7 mile run in October. I am also trying to stop eating like a trucker because I have been cutting back on nursing and can no longer get away with that.

I need to eat more fruit. I was getting really good but I'm down to like 1 piece of fruit a day again. Went to the Dr this morning and I've lost about 1 pound since the last time I weighed myself, not on purpose, we're just more active now. It's still like 3 pounds more than when I got pregnant with DD.

ETA proud of myself. I had a plum, a banana and a kiwi so far today. I'll probably have another plum before bed.

Last week was vacation for me, and I gained back a couple of lbs. Blech. I did manage to walk or bike at least 5 miles for 5 out of 7 days.

I plan to hope back on the healthy eating wagon starting tomorrow. I am basically going to do my 21 day fix diet, but allow myself special meals when we go out to eat or hang out with family/friends. I will be teaching dance 2-3 days a week and plan to pick up a gentle/restorative yoga class and a prenatal yoga class each week.
