Like everything else in life, I find it helpful to track & recap, looking for ways I can improve. My goal for November is to lose 2 lbs, & continue to build & grow my fitness, while trying to improve my flexibility. I'm always also looking to maintain balance, get plenty of sleep and manage my overall stress (important for lupus).
Here's what happened this week.
Workouts:
- Sunday - 60 minute workout class + 4 mile walk with a friend who was in town
- Monday - yoga
- Tuesday - 60 minute workout class
- Wednesday - 7.5 mile hike
- Thursday - 60 minute workout class + 1 hour of pickleball
- Friday - 60 minute workout class
- Saturday - 4 mile walk
Average daily steps for the week = 13,952
Average calories for the week = 1522
Weight = no change
How I feel about the week: Tuesday wasn't a great eating day. I mostly skipped dinner & had Halloween candy & wine. Surprisingly, until that point, I'd eaten almost no Halloween candy (a vast improvement over prior years), but things went off the rails a bit on Tuesday. I pulled things together & avoided candy for the rest of the week. On Monday (yoga day), my steps were crazy low, but that sort of averaged out with the long hike on Wednesday. Overall, I feel pretty good about the week, all things considered.
Goals for this week:
- Drop the average daily calories down slightly (I have a VERY low resting metabolic rate), under 1500
- Avoid sugar entirely
- Maintain everything else
What about you? How are you doing with your health & fitness? Anything you want to work on?
I always looking to improve my flexibility and build strength and maintain my balance too. I'm at a risk for falling with my knee, so that is important to me. Kudos on avoiding the Halloween candy for the rest of the week. We get no trick or treaters here, so no need to buy candy or have it in the house. I walk by it as fast as I can at the store. LOL
ReplyDeleteI have really got to get a fitness routine going. The next while it will have to be inside as winter has arrived and while a nice walk is always welcome going out can be dangerous to my bones.
