Nestie Healthy Gals Check In!
How's it going this past week?
Any bumps in the road towards progress??
Re: Nestie Healthy Gals Check In!
Last week I basically didn't work out, huge bump in the road! I went to my brother's graduation, a jack & jill and then hosted a shower so I also ate way too much! I think gaining a couple pounds last week was enough motivation to get me to work out this week!
I went swimming Monday, running yesterday and swimming again today! Hopefully I can keep it up!! I am also trying to eat better after eating so much junk last week!
I haven't had a "run" in over a week, which makes me sad, b/c my goal is to run 3-4 times a week. Been really busy with dance stuff, so not much time for my own workouts.
I think I've been making good choices regarding what I'm eating lately.
I fell off the wagon a few weeks ago. I have currently regained all 10 pounds that I lost.
I have set a walking date with my gf starting next wek for twice a week. I also have all my exercise videos at home ready to go, I just need to get DH out of the house so I can do them.
Hopefully this will get me back on track.
I'm just currently looking for meal plans as I find thinking about what to make at night stresses me out and then we just head for take out.
I'm sticking with these even though I'm on the healthy gaining side vs the losing side
They are good for me to keep in check.
So far I am doing really well - I have only gained 7 pounds throughout the pregnancy which is great for me. I think it has alot to do with the fact that my eating habits have completely changed. I'm working harder at eating the right foods and not eating junk just becuase I can. I'm trying to stay active, but it's getting hard as I'm tiring a little easier than I did (I know it's going to get worse). I'm trying to park further at work, take the stairs etc. I really want to get back on my elipitcal, but I am just so tired after work it's hard.. it's my July goal to get on it three times a week though.
I'm doing okay. Now that my class is done I am back to walking to/from the train to work (about 1 hr each day) which is good excercise (and so much nicer than the subway). The rain got in the way of it this afternoon, but aside from the rain it's a nice walk.
I'm also back on to meal planning which makes me happy. So much easier to have a good dinner this way.
And we made my most favourite carb free dinner the other night - salmon cooked with aspargus wrapped in pancetta, also cooked with cherry tomatoes and green olives. So delicous. I am really hoping to get back into the meal planning habit as we have a lot of cottage type weekends coming up and those never seem to be as healthy as during the week!
The past week has been pretty good, I managed to work out every day last week, and took Monday off this week but will probably manage a work-out every other day.
Food has been my enemy a bit in the past week. I made cupcakes last Monday and despite my best efforts to hand them out, have been hanging around. I bought chips at work yesterday too, which was bad, because I have portion issues with them.
