It's been awhile since I've posted a fitness recap. That's a good sign that I've been: overwhelmed & stressed, and not focused on my fitness. The travel + jet lag have been a terrible combination. For me personally, getting enough sleep is the cornerstone to having enough energy to work out. Working out also gives me a lot of energy, so it's a really terrible spiral when I don't work out. I got a flu shot last week, which also led to me skipping yet another workout.
Anyway, that's the quick catch up of why I'm behind on these posts. Last week was very "meh". Better than a few previous weeks, but way off the standard that I like, and how I was able to manage my schedule when I wasn't working. Go figure. ;-)
Weight: I've gained 3 lbs in the last six weeks, and while I'm not 100% sure that's accurate (weight is often a bit higher on Mondays, thanks to more weekend splurges), I am not surprised to see that my weight is up a bit. It's disappointing, but definitely unsurprising, as I have not been working out at my regular rate, ate very different food that are not on my plan, and not nearly enough sleep.
Calories: I'm estimating this at 1500/day, although honestly I didn't do a great job of tracking. I'm back on with my calorie tracking this week.
Steps: in a similar story, my watch hasn't been charging well (can you tell that it's all of the things, this week?), so I'd say this is off by at least 10%, but I'd rather have some benchmark than none. My steps were 8,764/day, which is well off my rolling average & target of 12k/day.
Workouts:
- Two 60 minute workout classes
- A 2 mile walk
- A 7 mile hike
- A 20 minute elliptical workout
- Increase steps back to my standard
- 6 workouts (2 runs + at least 2 workout classes)
- Drop the calories down a bit
