Weight: I dropped 2.6 lbs, although the last time I weighed in was more like several weeks ago, so this isn't a month on month drop. For clarity, I'm just going to share my actual weight, to make it easier to understand. It's hard to follow along otherwise. So, I'm currently at 157.4, and my ideal weight is around 140, as I have a pretty muscular build.
Calories: average daily calories of 1,582. Monday-Thursday was a little more difficult, as I was eating three meals a day out of the house, due to work events. Friday-Sunday were really great eating days, with well planned calories & great overall nutrition.
Steps: I'm keeping a close eye on my steps, as I need to not drop from the 12k/day to hit my yearly goal. I had some lower days early in the week (all of that office time + the commute on both sides really slowed me down), but I did do some walking 1:1s, went to the gym before a dinner event (x2) & went on a long hike this weekend (after my regular workout). All that to say that I finished the week with 13,289/day steps.
Workouts: same story as above, with some challenges getting in my workout earlier in the week due to the commute & in office days + evening events.
- 2 elliptical workouts
- 1 - 7 mile hike
- 3 workout classes
Goals for the week: my goals for the week are to keep up the progress. The only anomaly to my schedule is that we are going out with friends on either Friday or Saturday, which always risks spiking the calories. I will plan out my calories in advance & choose a healthy-ish option for dinner. I've found that tracking my calories & planning my meals in advance is incredibly helpful to staying on track. There's no mental debate if I can eat something. It's either factored into the calories for the day, or not. I sometimes swap a piece of fruit for another, but any swaps I make need to balance out to the same calories.
Overall, it was a pretty good week, considering my crazy schedule Monday-Thursday. What about you? How are you doing on your health & fitness goals?
