It's been a wild few weeks, and I'm having trouble keeping track of various things. Posting gives me accountability, and requires me to go back & tally everything up, which is always helpful.
I've had a bunch of *very* active days (hiking in Sedona) & a few road trip days where my steps were very low. I've also not tracked my calories particularly closely for a week or so, and used estimates. And, I haven't weighed in! I will get to that for next week.
Weight: I haven't weighed in since my last update.
Calories: My calories trended up after my vacation (so much delicious Mexican food & all of the queso!) My new daily calorie average for 2025 is 1,576. My goal is around 1,400, so I have some work to do.
Steps: I've had some really high step days, but also days where I was driving for the majority of the day & got less than 5,000 steps. That's really dragged my daily average down. I was previously at a daily average of 12,403 & I'm now at 12,081. That's a big drop! I'll have to focus on this in the coming weeks. Luckily, I have a bunch of active days planned, which will definitely help.
Workouts recently:
- 2 hiking days
- Several travel days (no workouts)
- A couple of elliptical workouts
- A long walk with a friend
- A yoga class
- Several days of my workout class
Overall nutrition: way too much eating out & snacky food. I need to focus on increasing my intake of fruits & vegetables & reduce carbs.
I'm giving myself a "D" for the following few weeks, as my metrics really show a drop off in my 2025 progress. That's okay, the tracking helps me get back on track & understand where things aren't working.
Goals for the weeks ahead:
- Weigh in
- Consistently getting 12k+ steps/day
- Increasing fruit & veggie intakes
- Following the No S diet on week days
