Fitness Monday

 It's the first official Fitness Monday of the year! I found it a pretty big struggle to get back into the groove last week, coming off of the time off & our various travels. But, starting around Thursday, I got my mojo back & was feeling better & more "ready" to tackle my new years plans & goals. 

To kick off the new year, the below covers the first 11 days of the year. 

Weight: 159. 3

Calories: 1644. This has been trending down since the first 5 or so days of the year, so heading in the right direction after a lot of splurging in Las Vegas.

Steps: 13,356

Workouts:

  • 2 elliptical workouts
  • 2 workout classes (one was a new class format & I burned 100 calories more than usual in the same 60 minutes - it was crazy intense!)
  • 2 8 mile hikes
  • 2 shorter walks (~1.5 miles)

Other:

  • No S days - 3
  • Average serving of fruit & vegetables/day - 6.8
  • Average grams of protein/day - 68

Goals for the week ahead:

  • 5 No S days
  • A workout every day, including on Sunday when I arrived jet lagged in London. An easy going workout typically helps with the jet lag very much.
  • Calories at or below 1500/day
  • Boost the # of fruit & veggies to 8/day
  • Get the protein up to 75 g/day
  • Continue with no alcohol
What about you? How did you do with your health goals the first week of January?

  1. The first week of the year was not a good health week. There were still too many holiday goodies around. They are mostly gone now, so it's on now.

  2. I did have my first gym visit. You can read all about it on the blog.

  3. I am making sure I do my 15 minute walk at least three times a day. Can't go out as it is way too icy with the thaw and then freezing so I am walking around the house. Once I get my stamina up I will go on the treadmill once again.

    God bless.
