Fitness Monday

 The weekend felt like it went by very quickly at our house. With Nick's soccer game, a long hike with a friend yesterday & lots of time spent on taxes! Working on taxes is always so fun. ;-) 

Here's how things are going on the fitness side:

Weight: I've lost .1 lbs since my previous low, for a total of 3.7 lbs for the year.

Steps per day: Last week I averaged 13,181 steps per day, an my current daily average is 12,436. This is lower than where I was a few weeks ago, as I had a few long driving days to Tahoe, a few days where I wasn't feeling well, etc. Luckily, I had almost 24k steps yesterday, which is greatly helping my average!

Calories: It's my goal to be around 1400 calories/day range consistently. Last time I checked in I was at 1,528 as the cumulative average for 2025. My daily average last week was 1,503, so slightly below my previous cumulative average, although still up a bit from my goal. My new 2025 cumulative average is 1,533. 

Workouts for the past week:

• One day with no workout, when we drove back from Lake Tahoe
• One day with a 30 minute elliptical workout in the hotel gym
• 4 days of my 60 minute workout class
• One very hard & hilly 8 mile hike with a friend
• Plus, a couple of additional 2 mile strolls a few of the days

Overall nutrition: things weren't great while we were traveling, but now that I'm back home & in my routine, I've been doing really well. Of course, I leave on Friday for a trip to Colorado with Nick. Traveling always makes it challenging for me to stick to my goals, so I need to work on that. 

I'd give myself another "B". Goals for this week include: continue with planned workouts, ensure I get plenty of steps & workouts while traveling, keep my calories to 1300 on non-travel days, and 1500 on travel days. Increase fruit & veggie intake. 

How are you doing with your health & fitness?
