Fitness Monday

 Ahem, it was not the best calorie week, and we are deep into the holiday season - parties, lots of work, minimal time for workouts & so much holiday/snacky food around! 

Weight = did not weigh in. Will do over the next few days, but was in a rush to get out the door to the office this morning

Calories = 1,731 - yikes! Definitely working to lower this for the week.

Steps = 13,450 - plenty of steps for the week, so that part is holding up okay and is certainly a focus as we close out the year. Which, really is a testament to actionable goals & how they can drive changes in day to day behavior. Still have work to do on how to connect that to food & calorie tracking, which should theoretically motivate me in the same way, but somehow... is a bigger challenge.

Workouts:

  • 10 mile hike
  • 6.5 mile hike
  • Two 2 mile walks
  • One strength class
  • One workout class (30 minute split of strength &running) 

Goals for the week:

  • Find ways to work out, despite my crazy work schedule this week (lots of in office days, with potential for evening stuff, as my manager is in town.
  • Drop calories down, through no snacking & thoughtful meal choices 
  • Plan & follow daily calories

What about you? How did you do with your health & fitness goals for the week?

  1. Grazing and empty calories is a challenge this year for me. Last year I was so focused on my knee getting strong, I was determined. You have good awareness of your targets. I'm sure you'll get to your level of satisfaction into the new year.

  2. I walked at least 30 minutes each time on 4 days last week, in addition to walking at stores, doing chores, etc. I also started logging my food to see where I am off track. I started having tea after I get home from work - no matter how snacky I feel.

  3. I’m working on getting all my protein and then some every day. I’m down 2 pounds this week, which makes me happy, just 3 more pounds to get back to my lowest weight. You did great with your walking and hiking.
