Welcome to Healthy Habits!

My name is CC (short for Christina) and I will be your Healthy Habits coach for BL 11. I love the BL challenges and Healthy Habits has helped me significantly in achieving many of my goals.

Some Background Information: Thanks to donac (Dona-hostess of Team Donald) and jenanderson for their amazing help so I know how to coach! I couldn’t do this without seeing them in action previously. I will be continuing the prizes that Jen started.

Here’s How Healthy Habits Works: Each week there will be 3 Healthy Habits (HH) to complete. The first two HHs will always be drinking water and exercising. (Note: The amount and time will increase throughout the challenge!) At the end of each week, you will tally up the number of points you earned for the week and send me a private message with your total. Here’s an example. For Week 1, the 3 HHs are drink Six 8 oz. glasses of water a day, exercise a minimum of 20 minutes per day, and eat at least 3 servings of vegetables a day. If on 4 days you get in all 3 HHs, you would report your points like this:

4/6 days of drinking water
4/6 days of exercising
4/6 days of eating veggies

Your total points (ex: 12/18) AND your team name should be in the subject of your PM.

This is a team competition. On/about Tuesday evening, I will post the week’s results. I will share the number of participants on each team and the top scorers on each team. New for BL 11: I will also list the people who earned 7/7 on one or more of the HHs for the week. If you participated on the team with the most participants, you will be entered into a drawing for the week's prize. Each prize will have something to do with the 3rd Healthy Habit for the week. I will post the winner and ask that you PM me your contact information. (Please Note: If you do not wish to be entered into the drawing, please let me know in your PM. I understand people’s WISHes for privacy.)

Participation in Healthy Habits is entirely optional, but I encourage you to participate and help your team be on top for the week. Good luck on your journey and I hope that HHs helps you as much as it continues to help me!

Welcome to Health Habits Week 9

Week 9 is 2/25-3/3.

This week's 3 Healthy Habits are:
1) Drink Eight 8 oz. glasses of water.
2) Exercise a minimum of 30 minutes a day.
3) Journal you food.*

*Journaling is something that is very important for many of us so it's back for another week. I encourage you to journal infomation like PointsPlus, calories, fat, etc., but even just writing down every bite you had that day is great!

At the end of the week, please PM me your points. I will post the results on/about Tuesday. Don't forget, this is a team competition!

Remember, every participant counts, regardless of the number of points you earn!

If you have any questions, please free to ask!

P.S. Week 7 Result shoul be up shorly, unless I fall asleep first.

Thanks! You're right, I need to buy them "yucky" stuff.

Time to get over my pity party and hit the stairs for some cardio - ugh! No going to the gym tonight, too icy out there; brrrrr!

I Hate this for you! I hate when I disappoint myself. I hate working so hard all day and then blow it all.

I try to buy the kids and DH snacks that they like and I do not. For example they love Fig Newtons and I would never eat those!

I also do not like Little Debbie Oatmeal pies, but you know what even that box has called my name ALL DAY!

So come here whine and let it all out! That is the beauty of these boards -- all support no judgement. We have been there done that too!

Hang in there!!

I don't know why I'm so tired tonight. Its not even 7pm here yet and I'm ready for bed. I think its because I slept so cruddy last night. I'm hoping that tomorrow will be a better day and I can kick some butt at the gym. I've not ate all that great today but I'm not going to beat myself up over it. Some days you just have to say, 'You know what, I've been good all week I need a break." My headache is finally gone and my body isn't sore anymore. Here's to a new start in the AM. With that being said I think I'm going to go change clothes, grab my Sparkpeople book, and read some. You never know I might get lucky and fall asleep .

 

[tea pot]

Great job! Every day is a new beginning.

Love it.....I need to remember that..... actually I should try to treat each day as a new beginning.

 

[cclovesdis]

Evening All!

Today was an okay day. I overate, but wouldn't call it a binge. It wasn't the greatest day, but it could have been much worse. So, here's to a great day tomorrow!

I will be your coach this starting tomorrow. I'm already in bed, so most of my posts will be around this time of the day. I'll be posting the QOTD the night before too, as I may forget at 4:30 in the morning. It's amazing I remember my brain that early in the morning. Thankfully, it comes with me.

QOTD for Friday, 2/25: What is one health-related goal you have for yourself this weekend? What is one other goal you have for yourself for this weekend?

I'll start. My health-related goal is to exercise at the gym on both Saturday and Sunday. My other goal is to clean up around the house so I'll hopefully feel more organized. Rose: thanks for the inspiration for this QOTD!

Have a great, OP day tomorrow everyone!

Good evening all!

I did 9 miles of WATP today! I did well with eating today. Made a cold cut roll up panini for supper and then DH and I had some tortilla chips and a spicy cream cheese dip. Watching Big Bang Theory now. We watched Ghosthunters and Face Off and now the girls have gone to bed. I'm still drinking my water.

Tomorrow night for supper DH and I will have steak cheese and onion roll up paninis with whole grain tortillas from TJ's. Just trying to make more exciting meals for us.

Picking up MegaMind tomorrow! Glad our entertainment for tomorrow night is set!

Have a good night!

Just back from Weight Watchers and I was down 3.8 pounds. I find it funny that on weeks when you feel great you lose just a little, and then on the weeks you just feel like a schlump you do great. Here is to more "schlumpy" weeks!!

Go Team Mickey.

Can you validate my parking?

I would ask Walt to give me pointers on a successful career. Someday I hope to find one.

QOTD for Friday, 2/25: What is one health-related goal you have for yourself this weekend? What is one other goal you have for yourself for this weekend?

Have a great, OP day tomorrow everyone!

I want to stay OP all weekend. I've finally dug my heals and and have been successful 4 days in a row I haven't cheated at all. I've also significantly increased my water consumption and cut back on diet soda. I've completely stopped caffeine after 5 PM. I also bought a book for a low Glycemic Diet and I hope to read it and be ready next time I grocery shop. So far the plan make a lot of sense Hopefully I'm back on track.


I was scheduled for 3 nights at the restaurant this week, but have already added tomorrow night and possibly Saturday night. Next week will be at least 3 nights so I'm feeling better knowing that my income won't be as crappy as it could be. I've got over 30 applications out there so hopefully I hear from something soon. My goal is to apply for 2 jobs per day, but that doesn't always happen, but some days I do more. It takes a lot of time to job hunt.

QOTD for Friday, 2/25: What is one health-related goal you have for yourself this weekend? What is one other goal you have for yourself for this weekend?

Health related: Buy new running shoes and then use them on Sunday! My old ones are now over a year old and I get the impression that they are starting to feel "tired". So I think it is time to invest in new ones since I am running three times a week at the moment and I really don't want to get some injury from using old shoes.

Other: Get a new update up for my WDW trip report.


I had a great week this last week and got a wonderful surprise this morning on the scale! Not only did I have a great loss, but also with the weight I have now, I am down to a BMI of 24.9!

 

[cclovesdis]

Good Morning!

I will reply to everyone tonight. My only other plan is to go to the gym. I hope to get in all 21 HH points this week.

I wanted to pop on this morning and say:

Don't forget to PM your weights to tigger813 (Tracey) and your WIN measurements to Connie96 (Connie). There no Healthy Habits points to report.

Have a great day everyone. for weigh-in.

CC

 

[KristiMc]

Good morning,

No school in Northeast Ohio. My kids are up though and I have been up since I got the call this morning.

Not much planned for the day other than shoveling.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[tigger813]

Workouts later today. I went back to bed after the alarm and a text message. I did go to the wellness center for my tea. I just made my wellness shake with mint extract and green food coloring. Too much extract. It pours out instead of drops out. I'll have to work on that! It was tasty though just a bit strong.

Enjoying my 2nd cup of tea. Going to hold off on my weigh in until Sunday or Monday. I blew it last night with my chips and dip. Going to be good today even when I have lunch at the mall though I may just bring a protein bar for lunch. I need to check what restaurants they have at the food court. Going to meet our friends at 10:30 since it's snowing here. It is lightening up finally so hopefully it will be rain soon so we can head down. It's raining at my friend's house.

Dinner for DH and myself will be a steak rollup with onions and cheese. I may have one small drink since this has been a long week! I should probably cut up the steak while it's still slightly frozen.

Have a magical day!!!!

TTFN

 

[my3princes]

Snow day here too. We're expecting 6 - 12 inches today and it didn't start until after 6AM. Colby and I are going to completely clean his room today, then I'm working tonight if I can get out of the driveway. I had a great weigh in considering how bad I've been lately. It's a clean slate for me today.

 

[KSH]

Hello Team Mickey!

I haven't posted in a while, it has been a busy couple of weeks. Had to take my mother to the hospital last Thursday, she has dementia and is in assisted living, and now she has developed congestive heart failure. Thankfully a new drug was all it took to get it resolved for now, so she's been back in her facility since Monday and I've just had to go back a few times to check on her. She seems to be doing much better.

I'm back on track now and had a good weigh-in today. Thrilled about that because it has been a really slow start for me with weight loss so far - seems like it was one step forward two steps back. But now hopefully I have the momentum going in the right direction!

Hope everyone is doing well, I am looking forward to staying in touch more now!

Take care,

Karen

QOTD for Friday, 2/25: What is one health-related goal you have for yourself this weekend? What is one other goal you have for yourself for this weekend?

Health-Related Goal: I intend to be a little bad Saturday night (I am going to see John Lovitz perform stand up and I plan on having a few drinks during the event). My goal is to get right back on the diet on Sunday.

Other Goal: I hope to finish assembling some furniture that we purchased a while back. Also, I need to hang shelves and display cases for our ever expanding collection of vinylmations.

 

[Connie96]

Howdy folks. I'm excited to see a few WIN entries trickling into my inbox this morning. Keep 'em comin'!!
