Healthy Living Survey

by Danica on February 20, 2013

Good morning!  Did you get a good night’s sleep?  ;)

A while back I saw this survey on that Tina did.  I loved reading hers, and I thought it’d be fun to do here today!

Healthy Living Survey

1. What did you eat for breakfast?

oats in a jar with blueberries and banana

This morning, while writing this actually, I’m having overnight oats in a nearly-empty peanut butter jar.  I topped it all off with unsweetened coconut shreds, a banana, and fresh blueberries.  Delicious!

2. How much water do you drink a day?

At least 8 8-oz. glasses, but typically closer to 9-10.

3. What is your current favorite workout?

I’m loving running (so wish I had a race coming up soon!) and hip hop groove (a dance fitness class) right now…Walking is my all-time favorite though.  I’m beyond ready for the temps to warm up so I can go walking outside each evening again!

4. How many calories do you eat a day?

I honestly couldn’t tell you….Last year I tracked every single calorie I consumed (which was pre-wedding and that definitely impacted my mindset about it), and clearly that got a little obsessive, so I’ve quit that and just try to eat well when I’m hungry.  If I had to guess I’d say somewhere between 1500 and 2000 maybe??

5. What are your favorite healthy snacks?

I have so many favorite snacks…lately I’m loving apples with nut butter, popcorn, and smoothies.

6. What do you usually eat for lunch?

Typically it’s some sort of leftovers or a smoothie, but it varies every day!

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

My legs/lower body!

8. What is your least favorite body part to strength train?

Do abs count for this?  I dread doing core work, which is dumb because I love how I feel after!  That’s the way most workouts go though, right?  :)

9. What are your “bad” food cravings?

I really don’t like to refer to food as “good” or “bad,” but I do crave sweets quite a bit, which is definitely more of an “unhealthy” food.

10. Do you take vitamins or supplements?

I take a multivitamin each morning with my breakfast.

11. How often do you eat out?

About once a week…I’m actually meeting a friend for dinner tonight!  I’m really looking forward to it because we have a lot to catch up on.

12. Do you eat fast food?

NO.  I don’t know the last time I did actually…I suppose Subway would be the most recent fast food I had, which was maybe 6 months ago or more?  I do like Panera though, so I suppose that would be my go-to.

13. Who is your biggest supporter?

My Husband.  no doubt about it…I seriously think I’d fall apart right now without him.

14. Do you have a gym membership?

Yep!

15. How many hours of sleep do you get a night?

about 8 each night–sleep is important! ;)

16. Do you have a “cheat” day?

Nope…that concept really just doesn’t sit well with me…I have treats when I want them, I just don’t go crazy about it.

17. Do you drink alcohol?

I enjoy a glass of wine once in a while.

18. Do you have a workout buddy?

No, but I really wish I did…If only my sister lived closer!!  She’s the absolute best workout buddy.

19. What is the best thing that has changed about your life since committing to a Healthy Lifestyle?

How I FEEL …. I never realized how crappy I felt all the time until I started to make healthy changes.  I’m never going back!

20. What was the last healthy thing you did?

Got a full night’s sleep, ate a healthy, filling breakfast, and decided to take a rest day since my body needs it!

*****

Pick a question (or two or three) and tell me your answer!

Love number 19. That really made me smile :) My best workout buddy is absolutely my sister, too. She motivates me like none other!

I like this survey. I might have to steal it ;). I don’t believe in cheat days either!

Fun survey :) I’m currently eating pancakes topped with butter & bananas for breakfast + an iced hot chocolate. Favorite body part to workout would have to be either my arms, or core.

I love surveys like this! My breakfasts have consisted of oatmeal and almond butter….for oh gosh about 2 months now! I think I might have switched it up a couple of times.
I’m with you…..hate working my core, but love working my lower body.. Strong legs!

Ugh, water. Thanks for the reminder! I haven’t been great about it lately.

I wouldn’t call them ‘bad food’ cravings, but my sometimes foods definitely include MEXICAN. Mmmm chips and salsa :)
