i havent worked out in the past weeks.. at all.. No time and I kinda grown bored of it.. weight lifting just isnt really that important to me...
I want to start running.. A friend already recommended buying new (odd) shoes: Its basically like a shoe with toes. the concept is that its supposed to feel like youre not wearing shoes or something..
Oh and I want to bring my dog along when running. One downside is just that running makes him super dirty...
And I want to start praticing martial arts again (probably wont end up doing it due to lack of time

anyway, wishing you all a great day/morning/evening

Thanks for the tag @sassy123 ! Hi everyone! I did okay. I am going to keep up my weekly routine.
Cardio - 5x
Weights - 3x
Lots of fruits and veggies - Last night I roasted some Brussels sprouts. Yummy!
Water - I am really struggling with this. I purchased some sparkling water and that helped some.

Good luck, everyone!

@kat319 and @richard 1998 it sounds like you both have some really good goals

I have seen those shoes, they look so funny but are supposed to be really comfy!

I briefly tried the pair of my friend and it was comfortable but a bit weird.. Not sure yet if I really want shoes that have fabric between the toes...
oh and yes they look funny xD

are you working out at all. Also for me cutting out alcohol helps

I play netball every week but I'm not getting the exercise that I need I'd say.

I didn't know that, about the salmon. Thanks for the tidbit @BlueGreen

I don't know if that's helpful because we all react to different things and my nutritionist thought it might just be because my body is very reactive to everything, but I guessed it was something specific. I took it out of my diet and my lips are back to normal. I just have to try different types of fish now to see if that's ok but I don't fancy going through that again!

I'm not crazy about sprouts but that sounds interesting. How did you cook them @kat319?

Thanks for the tag, great thread.

Going to try and have a healthy eating routine this month, going to try and taste some foods I have never tasted, sounds exciting doesn't it? We should always try a chance of scenery with our diets too, as it can get boring and we just go through the motions.

Good luck to everyone with their goals.

I miraculously decreased my coffee consumption last month. From 3 to 5 cups a day, but also the constant yearning for one lol, I now drink two cups, sometimes only 1. The strange thing is I don't even want to drink more... Like, the thought of it makes me eeew. No idea how I did that. 2

Congrats, do you find a decrease in anxiety and stress?

 

[Auri]

Congrats, do you find a decrease is anxiety and stress?

haha More like the opposite I think, and additional headaches. x) But even if it is caused by less caffeine, I wanted to drink less of it and my body will just have to adjust.

Also, good luck for everyone with their goals! ♡ I'll eternally hope to get back to exercise, but let's be real - I won't. :P Perhaps only walking outside when the days get warmer.

I put myself on a keto diet last month. Have lost 5 lbs so far. Looking to lose another 10 lbs over the next 2 months. More importantly I need to get off my butt and start an exercise routine to be more active.

Awww Yeah, the headaches are most likely down to the reduction in caffeine, that is the most common withdrawal symptom, good luck with your body adjusting

Cut them in half. Then toss with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, paprika, and turmeric. Roast at 450 until they are a little crispy.

Sometimes roast them with red peppers and eat them like a salad with fresh tomatoes on a bed of lettuce (balsamic vinaigrette dressing).

I wanted to walk at work during break but it's too windy. I'll try tomorrow, if it's not raining

I roasted some last night before I saw your reply - I just did them in olive oil with salt and pepper. They were ok, quite nice so I'll definitely try with the peppers. I have to watch the vinegar and spices but i might try just a touch. Have you tried roast cabbage? I'm a bit obsessed with it at the moment. It's at the bottom of this page - https://www.theguardian.com/lifeand...bbage-aubergine-rice-fritter-yotam-ottolenghi I tried it as it is but you can leave out whichever ingredients you want and it's still good. I just go for the lemon zest/juice, oil, salt and pepper mostly if I'm in a hurry. The burnt bits are the best!
