At any rate, I’m never going to walk 20k steps/day when I sit at a desk 9 hours a day, but I am working my butt off to try to average closer to 10k, and I hope I can keep that up! I really want to get back into my C210k app. There is a 10k in the neighboring town on the 4th of July that I did the summer before I got pregnant with Stella, and I’d like to try to do that again. There is also a half marathon between that town and here that we’ve talked about doing in memory of Jaime.
DAMN, I just went to the website to link to it and realized I will be in MN that weekend. Ugh. Well, I do want to get motivated to do something like that soon!
As for tracking food, I do well until the weekend, and usually Friday night and all day Saturday I just give up on tracking because we’re drinking beers and grilling out and…ya, I don’t want to get overly insane about tracking since I’m toeing the line with keeping this an exercise in healthy weight loss and not disordered eating. On the flip side, I probably won’t seriously lose weight unless I track those miscellaneous weekend calories that add up so quickly. Things are always a work in progress.
Just to repeat, these have been my goals for 4-5 months postpartum:
- Track my food in MFP every day and stay within the allowed limits (I have it set at a 0.5# loss per week & it syncs with my FitBit)
- Do some sort of workouts on both Saturday & Sunday when I have Charlie around to help with the kids
I’m going to keep working on tracking in MFP and keep doing good workouts on Wednesdays/Saturdays/Sundays when I’m not at work and/or have help from Charlie.
Next week I plan to give an update on measurements, weight, goals, etc. at 5 months postpartum (how am I 5mpp already?!).
How are you all doing with your fitness / healthy living goals?
