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
Things are harder to maintain when traveling or sick. It is just the way things are.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! You are doing good. But, I know it's hard to stick to a special eating plan when traveling. Sounds like you had a good weekend. And taxes...ugh! I did ours last week. Just glad to have them done. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing very well. I did my bicycle and physical therapy every day last week and lost 1 pound. I'm getting around better and better every day with my mobility/knee surgery, which is a plus.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great. Me not really, but the weather has turned and I could be out walking again shortly.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Good job on your goals!
ReplyDeleteWhen traveling, I always carry nuts in case of blood sugar drops. About 100 calories worth puts me back in good form, blood sugar wise, pretty quickly.
I also, always, look up menus online, and plan/pick my meal before arrival. It really helps I find, as I don't struggle once seated. DH and I both travel and eat out a lot, and thus far it's worked well for me.
We also plan extra mileage walks/hikes/runs pre-dineout to balance out the food we'll be eating.
I know it may sound like a lot, but it's kept my weight at my high school level, and if I stop any of my little 'practices' the weight will almost immediately begin to creep on. It's frustrating, but it is a daily effort and priority even still.
