The week went about how I expected, with fewer planned workouts & much more impromptu, "fit in what I can, when I can" things. I did manage to go to Orange Theory 3x, thanks to the 4th of July holiday.
Weight: same as last week
Calories: 1,830/day, which is WAY over my target of 1,500
Steps: 12,446. A lot of intentionality went into this, between meetings, etc.
Workouts:
- 2 workout classes (combo of running, rowing & strength training)
- 1 -45 minute strength training only class
- 3 elliptical workouts
- A few short walks
Overall nutrition: I did much more "grab & go" food than usual, as I was quite busy with meetings, and didn't do a great job of tracking my calories until the end of the day, which is clearly reflected in my calories. We also had margaritas on the 4th of July, which I love, but pack quite the calorie punch. And finally, we had mini ice cream cones (Hold the Cone - Trader Joes) in the house, which we almost always have on hand & I successfully resist. This week, not so much.
Goals for the week:
- 3 no s days
- Calories below 1500
- 4 Orange Theory workouts
- Lose 1 lb
I think you did phenomenally well fitting in as much as you did with a new schedule. The heat is back after a day reprieve so walked early butman, I'm exhausted now.
ReplyDeleteThe activity/fitness was fine for my first week of work, but definitely should have done better on the nutrition. It gives me something to shoot for this week! - HP
DeleteMy fitness is to live through the week. I envy you.
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of days where I don't feel like it, but I keep trying. It really helps with my energy level, which is one reason why I prioritize it. - HP
DeleteI haven't been coping with the heat very well. I hope to get 15 minutes walking in the mornings and 15 minutes later in the day. I just seem to tire out from tasks lately and have nothing left for regular exercise.
ReplyDeleteYou did very well.
God bless.
It's so hard to exercise in the heat. I also really dislike it. -HP
DeleteI completed my four hours of walking even though I was in conference meetings all day. Lots of the walking took place barefoot on the sugar white sand of the beach so I am definitely not complaining,! I hope to do four hours this week. We shall see with the spotty forecast. Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteNice work! Getting in activity when you are in all day meetings is so hard. The beach sounds absolutely fabulous! - HP
