20 health questions {survey}

Today...something out of the ordinary. A blog survey inspired by one of my favorite blog friends, Amanda. 

20 health questions.

1. What did you eat for breakfast? Cereal. Always and forever. Specifically, a bowl of Arrowhead puffed wheat, All Bran, cinnamon, a sliced banana, and cow's milk. 

2. How much water do you drink a day? I just bought this 2.2L jug (as inspired by Amanda - I promise I'm not thaaaat creepy) to ensure that I meet my daily water quota. I drank this throughout the day along with 3 pints first thing in the morning and a pint after my run.

3. What is your current  favorite workout? Running. Simply, running.

4. How many calories do you eat a day? Not sure. I try to keep away from keeping detailed calorie counts, although I do aim for ranges for meals - mainly to make sure I'm getting enough to fuel my workouts. I would say I probably do 1,700 - 2,000 depending on my daily acitivity.

 
5. What are your favorite healthy snacks? Apples + nuts; Greek yogurt + cereal; cereal in any form; carrot sticks + peanut butter.

  
6. What do you usually eat for lunch? Salads, salads, and more salads.

7. What is your favorite body part to strength train? Shoulders. 

8. What is your least favorite body part to strength train? Legs. With all the running I do, lunges and squats are painful.

9. What are your “bad” food cravings? For the record, I don't really like to label food good or bad. Chocolate is the best thing in life. Oh, and beer. 

10. Do you take vitamins or supplements? Fish oil.

11. How often do you eat out? Once a week for dinner, sometimes. Eating out is tough with my soy intolerance and I enjoy cooking most evenings. Every now and then I'll go out to lunch with co-workers.

12. Do you eat fast food? No.

13. Who is your biggest supporter? My family. Hands down. I am nothing without my family.

14. Do you have a gym membership? Yes.

15. How many hours of sleep do you get a night? I try for 7-8 hours. My usual bedtime is 10 PM. I wake at 6 AM. 

16. Do you have a “cheat” day?  On weekends I drink alcohol and tend to indulge a bit more than during the week. 

17. Do you drink alcohol? Yes, I believe I already mentioned beer? And wine, mostly red.

18. Do you have a workout buddy? I run solo. Me, my shoes, and the pavement. I do group fitness classes at the gym - so I consider all my gym friends workout buddies. 

19. What is the best thing that has changed about your life since committing to a healthy lifestyle? I am in the best shape of my life. My body responds positively to healthy, whole foods. Becoming healthier has revolutionized the way I think about how I fuel my body.  

20. What was the last healthy thing you did? Finished off my 2.2L water jug and set out a piece of cake for dessert. Health is all about balance, after all.
