Fitness Monday

It was a pretty great workout week, and this is basically how I'd want every week to be, in terms of fitness. Eating was not bad, but the working out was both 1) what I'd planned and 2) challenging but doable. 

Weight: my weight is up .3 lbs, which is frustrating. But, weighing more often helps me see trends & stay on track, so I'll try not to be too frustrated & instead look for tweaks to refine what I'm doing. 

Calories: 1,609/day

Steps: 12,096/day

Workouts:

  • 4 combo cardio/strength workout classes
  • 1 treadmill class
  • 1 strength class
  • 1 7 mile hike
  • 1 15 minute walk + 15 minute elliptical 

Overall nutrition: my nutrition was pretty good. Minimal snacks, no sugar, pretty balanced choices. 

Goals for the week: we should know by today if we can go to Napa for a few days (my office will be closed). I'll assume so, for purposes of goal setting:

  • Set up my first week of the training plan. Waiting to hear from my manager about upcoming travel, but hoping to do a half marathon in October with my sister & BFF. Get in consistent workouts, despite the mini trip.
  • Keep the calories very low for all non-Napa days, to offset indulgences.
  • Avoid sweets 
What about you? How did you do with your health & fitness goals for the week?

  1. Not a great weekend as worries then heat and humidity kept me from being mindful of myself. New day new week.

  2. I did not have a great week eating, but I chose everything that went in my mouth so I can't blame anyone else.

    1. Dang you for this rational take, Anne. Sometimes I'd like to blame others for my poor decisions. For real, though. ;-) - HP

  3. We visited our youngest son, so while I managed some exercise it wasn't the best exercise.

    God bless.

  4. Same for me on the humidity which feels so awful! However, I do have a plan for walking more this week.
