Fitness Weekly Discussion
What have you been doing lately for your own fitness? Try out any new programs or exercises? Have any questions for others about your training? Want to vent about poor behavior in the gym? Started a new diet or have a new recipe you want to share? Anything else health and wellness related?
I'm feeling pretty awesome lately. I haven't lost a ton more weight or anything in the last couple weeks, although I did lose a little, but I'm feeling a big difference in my muscles from even just a month or two ago.
I'm so close to doing a real push-up. And I can now hold a weighted plank for almost a minute when I really struggled with a normal plank early on.
I haven't provided an update in a while, but things have been progressing smoothly. I wasn't able to work out as planned during my vacation in early July but I still managed to keep my activity up and maintain my step goal streak (currently at 110 days in a row!).
On the running side, I am still slowly getting faster. I'm running on average sub-8:00 minute mile pacing during my long-distance runs. I haven't been doing super long runs, but I did manage to get out a 5 mile run yesterday.
Still maintaining yoga twice a week. Going to try to up myself to the more difficult hour-long sessions but I am not looking forward to it.
Still aiming to lift weights twice a week as well. With the delta variant, it may be harder for me to justify going into the gym.
The highlight is that I finally reached my goal weight of 160lbs (~72.5kg) which means I can really expand my diet. Now I get minimum 2700 calories of food to eat to maintain my baseline. I'm usually still under overall by ~1500 calories but I'm not ardently tracking everything down to the gram so I am leaving myself wiggle room.
The plan is to keep going, with the end goal being to keep up my health and fitness routine for 6 months.
