workout Wednesday and Healthy Living 9.9.15

[kaydee0402]

What activities have you been doing? Yoga and I've added running. I'm at a 12 minute mile. My goal is to get down to a 10 minute mile for my race in February.

Did you meet your goal from last week? Yes, I got out and ran and I met my step goal for FitBit three days in a row

What are your goals for this week? Continue to meet my step goal, eat healthy and get at least two more runs in.

I have been mall walking with the kiddos (so slow, distracted toddler speed but still) bc of the extreme heat/humidity this week. I've also been doing wii fit.

Did not meet my weight goal this week ...again. but I'm gonna get three days of workout in if it kills me. My personal goal week starts monday so I have to modify everything for this thread lol.

This week will be the same goals. Lose some weight and do a short wii fit workout at least three days.

What activities have you been doing? Just walking, and trying not to pig out! I'm terrified of my supply going away. If I can make it to November I'll really start moving and shaking!

Did you meet your goal from last week? I've hit my 10,000 step goal a couple of times.

What are your goals for this week? Keep on steppin'!Another of my friends joined Fitbit, so now I have someone who will actually keep me accountable, besides my husband who doesn't wear his half the time... You wanna be my Fitbit friend? PM me!

I will just say that I failed miserably at doing anything healthy over the long weekend and so my goal is just to get back on track this week. (Said as I eat a caramel Tootsie Pop.)

mumomma13, don't feel defeated. We've all either been there or are currently there. Good for you for signing up for DietBet. I couldn't even bring myself to do that so you're way ahead of me

What activities have you been doing? Went to Yin Yoga. Found some videos online to do it at home. Trying to do it every other day

Did you meet your goal from last week? My goal was to do something, so yes.

What are your goals for this week? Do yoga at least every other day. Ride my bike (now that DS is asleep around 7 I can actually get out). Might start doing the Zone again or at least tracking my calories with an eye to it. I'm bad at remembering what counts as a block and I eat in the cafe at work so it's hard to plan for that.

mumomma13 I know it's frustrating. I'm right there with you about the scale not being were I want regardless of working so hard to eat right and get some form of exercise. But this is my motto: if i stop or give up, the time will pass anyway. So I might as well keep trying and hoping this is all worth it. We'll get there!

[dreemkin]

I want everyone to remember that it took 9 months to have a baby (we grew a freakin' human) so it should take at least 9-12 months to be back were we want to be body wise. Keep it up!

[wimcgrath]

What activities have you been doing?
A T25 video here and there, short run with the jogging stroller, longer run solo (so much easier!!!)

Did you meet your goal from last week?
Not quite. My goal is exercising 3 times during the work week and then once over the weekend, and I think I did 3 times total, plus crappy eating over the long weekend. McDonalds breakfast is my downfall (among others). I want to clean up my eating more.
BUT there's a nice new gym opening up in January near us, and DH, DD, and I got a family membership. They have a great kid zone, all equipment, and classes, which are motivating for me.

What are your goals for this week?
See above- exercise 4 times- 2 runs, 2 toning DVDs (T25 most likely). Again, I want to try to eat cleaner with more veggies and less fast food. It's easy to just grab food when I'm out running errands on the weekend!

I really want to fit in exercise but I am just struggling to find the right time. Most of it is me being lazy I know, but now that DD is waking up later (not complaining) it is harder to fit it in before H leaves which is ideal especially since we are heading into winter.

I might join a gym but it seems so expensive!

Join the Y.  It's $93 a month, but it's worth it.  Your membership comes with free child care while you work out, activities for families and discounts on things like swim lessons.  We're signing DS up for lessons in October and it will only be $35.  Plus, all the free work out classes you can take!  Yoga is my favorite

Yeah we don't have a Y anywhere close but we do have a similar type gym that I am looking into. I just have a hard time justifying the cost when I can run for free, but I don't run consistently enough for that to be a logical argument.

I used to be a Planet Fitness member and it was super reasonabley priced. But I don't have time to go to make it worth it. After dinner, DH gets the girls and I do wii fit for an hour. It works well for us bc I don't leave the house.

[flyster]

What activities have you been doing? Walking, running, yoga, weights. I decided my goal was to do some type of excersize every day for 30 days, plus try and walk around more as tracked by fitbit. Days I don't make it to the gym in the morning, I go for a walk with LO at night, or do yoga.

Did you meet your goal from last week? almost...I missed Friday last week.

What are your goals for this week? Excersize every day, and try and get to my 10,000 step goal a few times...its tougher than I though, I've only gotten there once!

[flyster]

On the gym front, I have planet fitness. The one near me doesn't have child care (not sure if any do) and its only $10 or so a month, so really cheep. Then again, its cheep enough that it doesn't make you feel guilty for not going. Always a downside : )

I've found that LO likes watching me do Yoga at home. I do it in his play room since the floor is padded. of course then I dont' get the really "centered" and relaxing part of yoga done, but he adds some weight/difficulty to some moves if he decides to crawl on me.
