(Not Much) Fitness Monday

I was sick for most of last week, and this cold is still lingering on! As a result, I've been much less active than usual, and have turned to easy & saltier food (why does salty food taste good when you're sick? I assume because your taste buds are kind of dulled, so therefore you need higher fat/salt food to really "taste" it, when you're not feeling well?) 

Anyway, for transparency (and, because it helps me as well), still posting about the previous week:

Weight: my weight stayed the same this week

Steps per day: I didn't do well on hitting my step goal this week, so my overall trend/cumulative average dropped. I'm now at 12,438 vs 13,019 as the average last week. That's a pretty big drop in just a week! Small steps really do add up, literally & figuratively. 

Calories: Last week my cumulative average for 2025 was 1,528. I'm at 1,509. My eating wasn't the best, but there were a few days I didn't eat much. 

Workouts for the past week:

• 4 workout classes
• 1 - 30 minute elliptical workout
• A couple of days with bonus 2 mile walks
• A couple of days where the only thing I did was walk ~1 mile

Overall nutrition: It was pretty poor this week. And, I tend to be a snacker when I'm stressed. I need to reduce my news consumption and focus on other ways to reduce stress. 

It was definitely a "C" type of week. Here's hoping this week is a week where I'm feeling better. 

Goals for the week:

• Eliminate stress snacking
• Eat more produce
• Keep calories in check overall
• Increase workouts back to previous level
• Hit 12k steps/day

How did you do with your health & fitness last week?
