That said, I really need to up my exercise game, I suck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-health-conscious-are-you#post-759627 Fri, 03 May 2013 11:42:03 +0000 IRunForFun 759627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say I'm pretty health-conscious, but I don't take it to extremes. </p> <p>I make an effort to eat whole, natural, organic foods whenever possible, but if it's not possible, I don't stress about eating "junk" or something processed, as long as it is in moderation. </p> <p>I try to avoid harmful toxins - I use natural cleaning products, avoid plastics and cans with BPAs, etc - but again, I don't go to huge great lengths to do so.</p> <p>I exercise and keep myself fit, but that's a combination of vanity and wanting to be healthy. </p> <p>Overall, I'd say I'm more health-conscious than the average person, but I'm not a zealot about it.</p> <p>And I am WAY more health-conscious now than I was 6 or 7 years ago, when I ate tons of junk and never thought about environmental toxins at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-health-conscious-are-you#post-759620 Fri, 03 May 2013 11:39:23 +0000 Revel 759620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say I'm very health conscious - though my follow through is lacking sometimes. I've always been interested in diet/nutrition/exercise, but it really stepped up when I found paleo and crossfit a few years ago. I've never been the greatest paleo adherent, but I do try to adhere to an unprocessed diet and a healthy activity level. I wish I could get SO on board, but I hope he'll come around eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-health-conscious-are-you#post-759613 Fri, 03 May 2013 11:35:02 +0000 Turd Ferguson 759613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ehhhh... I know what I SHOULD be eating/doing/etc., but not gonna lie, I really don't. I think the worst (best?) part is, it really doesn't bother me all that much. </p> <p>Now, back to eating my Velveeta Shells and Cheese... ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-health-conscious-are-you#post-759531 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:53:37 +0000 mediagirl 759531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not very much at all... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-health-conscious-are-you#post-759529 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:52:56 +0000 Bao 759529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm MUCH more health conscious now. Even more so in the last few months, now that LO is eating what we eat. We cut WAY back on processed foods, added in a ton of whole foods, and lean meats. It's amazing how much better I feel, and I don't see myself going back to my old ways of eating garbage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-health-conscious-are-you#post-759523 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:50:27 +0000 spaniellove 759523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More so in some areas than others...like I have to put a lot of time and energy into keeping up with my health conditions, but I don't bother stressing about "eating healthy". We try to get our food from good sources and eat enough plants and protein, and other than that I eat what makes me happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-health-conscious-are-you#post-759459 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:13:15 +0000 pinkpeony921 759459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to stay middle of the road. In college, I would count calories, log workouts, etc. I was so fearful of the "freshman 15." This gave me anxiety though! After a year or so, I backed off and just tried to eat as healthy as I could and workout hard.</p> <p> I still maintain this mentality now, but I think I eat better (I just aim for eating for color/nutrients/protein, etc.) and make sure my workouts are something I love doing. Of course, I enjoy some sweets every now and then too. I have found that this works best for me. I lowered my activity level greatly while ttc, but I've found that I should just continue to do what I love doing as long as my body is able. Always learning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-health-conscious-are-you#post-759428 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:02:39 +0000 MrsKoala 759428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty health conscious. I could probably eat a little better but I to think about what I'm putting in my body as much as possible. I do exercise a good amount and I find that it helps me feel better overall. For me, it's about keeping my body as healthy as possible as I age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-health-conscious-are-you#post-759408 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:57:36 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 759408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to eat well and exercise regularly. I want to be healthy. I'll admit that my main motivation for exercising is so that I can eat what I want and not worry about gaining weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-health-conscious-are-you#post-759324 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:24:59 +0000 pui 759324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say I'm medium-ly health concious lol? I do my best to make good, common-sense food choices and get exercise and stuff, but I don't often actively read on the subject or anything like that.</p> <p>I'm definitely more health concious than I used to be lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-health-conscious-are-you#post-759319 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:23:06 +0000 Boheme 759319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always been somewhat health conscious but before it was more about vanity i.e., eating healthier stuff and working out to keep from gaining weight. Now that I'm older its crazy how health conscious I've found myself becoming! I research what we eat a lot more and exercise for the long term benefits. I'm also very conscious of the healthy decisions I want to make for our LO and future LOs. </p> <p>Are you more health conscious now? Less? </p>
