Fitness Monday

 I almost skipped weighing in again today, but decided I'd rather have the number than not. I drank electrolytes yesterday, which typically cause me to retain a bit of water. I'll weigh in later this week to get a better measure of weight. 

Weight: 158.5 (while I might have gained a bit, more of this is hormonal than not). I'll try to get a more accurate weight in the next day or so.

Calories: 1,652/day. While higher than I'd like, I'm still tracking & am happy I'm not fully off the rails. Although, again, more than I'd like it to be. 

Steps: 13,258, held up largely by yesterday's 30K+ day.

Workouts:

  • One 40 minute elliptical workout
  • 5 - 2+ mile hikes
  • One 11 mile+ hike
The tendonitis in my hip was really bothering me last week, so I took it pretty easy to try & allow the swelling to go down a bit. 

Goals for the week:

It's Christmas, so trying to be a bit realistic. I'd like to keep the splurges to truly things I enjoy (and not just mindlessly nibble on) & get in exercise, even on travel days & the holidays. I'd also like to keep my steps reasonable, which can be hard on some of the days. 

What about you? How did you do with your health & fitness goals? Are you still hanging in there, even with the holidays & seemingly endless treats available?

  1. I weighed in on Saturday morning to get a baseline before the holiday weeks. I'm trying so hard to resist sugar other than the minimal that goes in my bread (I had to do a taste test before sharing with neighbors) and eat sensible meals with maybe piece of fruit or popcorn/no oil or better for snacks. I have some health issues resurfacing again, and anything I can get ahead of might help me feel a bit better going into January when I'll have a couple dental procedures and likely be put on new meds (not dental related, just same timing.)
