I am so guilty of failing to get enough water. Be working hard at it

The way that I do it is with a large water bottle. I fill it every morning, it holds 40 ounces. I know I need to have it gone by lunchtime, when I refill it, and the refill needs to be gone after dinner.

 

I have smaller bottles that I use for when I am exercising, different sizes depending in what I am doing. For example 12 ounces is perfect for an hour of slow flow yoga, but only half of what I need for an hour of cardio or hot power yoga.

 

By having "pre-measured" water and time goals, it forces me to drink some every half hour or so. It quickly becomes a good habit. :)

Sunday 2-3 hours of flow yoga

Monday 1 hour strength training and sometimes some power walking or slow flow yoga, just depends on my mood and energy level.

Tuesday 2+ hours power yoga, 5-6 mile power walk

Wednesday 5-6 mile power walk and sometimes an hour of yoga

Thursday 5-6 mile power walk and sometimes an hour of yoga

Friday 5-6 mile power walk and an hour of flow yoga

Saturday 5-6 mile power walk

 

Every day, 20 minutes of stretching and light strength training with bands, exercise ball, light dumbbells, etc. I have three things I do daily to work on hip flexors and hamstrings, the rest of the time I mix it up with whatever my body is saying it wants or needs. Flys, core work, bicep work, whatever.

 

My work schedule varies, but I make time for exercise even on the 12+ hour days .

Wow, you have it all planned out.

 

congratulations.

 

Just curious ------

 

Do you need to lose weight or just tone up????

[ducklite]

At this point I have about an inch I'd like to lose off my hips, everything else is simply maintenance. Except abs, because you can never have good enough abs. :). I do cardio for heart and lung health and so I can eat as much as I want. (Notice I didn't say "anything."). I do yoga for stress and stretching, plus arms and abs. I strength train because it's indicated for women over 50, although I don't particularly care for it.

Well. I was gonna do my best to be good today but had a cheat day anyway. Lol. Did great for breakfast. But then made homemade pizza. Had 2 small slices and then ate a lil cookie dough. Lol. But still with all that I didn't go over my WW points. Which is cool.

 

Just didn't have any motivation today. It really is hard to fight my laziness sometimes. But tomorrow is a new day and a new week and I'm going to keep on trucking!!

 

Have a great Monday y'all!!

I don't think you are getting enough calories, and definitely not enough protein if you are eating that and working out as well. You can put your body into starvation mode where it tries to hold on to the fat and burns muscle instead. Not healthy, and counter productive. Have you joined My Fitness Pal? It will help you track calories and exercise as well as macros.

I agree....getting the right diet/calories is really important. If you get into a starvation mode during weight loss you will lose muscle and there is a greater chance of excess calories going directly to fat.

Great day! Instead of the Special K shake which has a lot of added preservatives (chemicals), consider making your own.

 

My recipe is a half cup of plain fat free Greek yogurt, a half cup of fat free milk, a scoop of whey protein powder* (I use The Organic Whey brand as I eat only organic/GMO free), half a banana, and a half cup of berries plus ice if you want. It works out to around 300 calories but gives you a lot of protein, vitamins, antioxidants, and is super filling.

 

Make sure you are getting at least 1200 calories a day plus whatever your exercise calories are.

 

*I use a whey based protein powder as I don't like the texture of hemp and stay away from soy due to the way it affects your estrogen levels.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I'm in West Monroe for the weekend as my DH is riding in a monster truck/mud show this weekend. I'm doing my best to stay on track with a crazy schedule. Went to the gym at the hotel both days. Treadmill for

30 yesterday and elliptical for

30 today. Yesterday had Cheerios with almond milk, a plain grilled chicken sandwich and lots of water. Last night proved to be the challenge with the show. I didn't want to eat concession crap. Had half a plain hot dog just to tide me over. Late night dinner was at Hooters. They did not have a lot of healthy options at all. I settled on a grilled fish sandwich (but didn't eat the bum) and a side salad with dressing on the side. My 'treat' was a strawberry lemonade after having nothing but water all day. Ttyl!
