Fitness Monday

 It's been a bit up & down the past couple of weeks, as we skied & then I came back with a cold that's turned into some sort of respiratory thing. Nick has been sick for a week, poor guy. I'm slowly but surely getting back into my routine. 

Here's how I've been doing with my fitness over the past few weeks:

Weight: I'm down another 1.5 lbs, so a total of 3.6 lbs for the year. 

Steps per day: it's my goal to hit 12k steps per day in 2025. Skiing isn't much for steps, and we had two long driving days to get there & back. But, I'm still over my goal, with 13,019 steps/day (on average.) 

Calories: it's my goal to be around the 1400 calories/day range consistently. Last time I checked in I was at 1,594. My current cumulative average for 2025 is 1,528, so I've made a bit of progress dropping it down. Still more work to do here.

Workouts for the past few weeks: 

  • 9 workout classes (including a bonus 90 minute class that was a wildfire fundraiser)
  • 2 days of skiing
  • 2 days with 4 mile hikes
  • 1 day of walking for an hour on the treadmill
  • Assorted other walks
  • One day where I did nothing, other than pack & load the car, corral up 5 teens, pick up their room & do an untold amount of laundry

Overall nutrition:  I want to increase my fruit & veggie intake. I do pretty well on this, but there's always room for more veggies! I'm also still pretty snacky, and want to reduce snacks. 

I'm giving myself another "B" for the past couple of weeks. Still plenty of work to do cleaning up my diet, but fitness has been good generally. Goals for this last week of January: stay the course on working out (adjust as needed based on how I'm feeling), reduce overall calories & increase fruit & veggie intake. 

How are you all doing with your health & fitness?

  1. I am trying to add more water to my daily intake. I usually forget about it and really feel much better when I have enough each day.

    God bless.
