The scale shifted again this week ... it bumped up a bit for my Monday morning weigh-in, so only showing a tiny "official" loss, but the average went way down! It was a good week for food and fitness. Hubs had three derbies, there were multiple basketball games and basketball camp, friends in town, lots of rain and quite a bit of baking.
Steps and Stats
NUMBERS: Official weight down a smidgen (-.2) but the average went way down (-3.25). New low. While I was in this area about six months ago (Nov2018) this dipped a little beyond that. It's been encouraging. I've been sticking with the IMF and had some longer ones ... also skimped on Sunday. Stayed under goal five days this week, with an intake average of 1993. Burn average was 2833, with a deficit for the week (-2925). Four days with 3000+ burn, three 30k days. Step average was 23958 with 58.03 logged miles. Cardio minutes 838/1104/1088/1462.
STACKED STEPS: My steps .. and my sons. Still need to work on #4, both wearing his Fitbit, syncing, and getting in steps. But pretty impressed with his brothers. #5's steps would be a little higher still, but he doesn't wear his device during basketball games (and he had three of them). #3 commented that Friday morning, he had 20k by 6am (nighttime shenanigans).
EXERCISE: I achieved my hour of elliptical five days this week. Treadmill time five days, with three days double duty. Four Zumba classes. OTHER ACTIVITIES: Driving was about usual (7hrs), with the usual grocery shopping (3hrs). I attended two basketball games, didn't make it to three of #5's due to crowd/cost issues. Mowing and other yardwork/gardening for several hours this week. Here the day by day ...
- Monday (0520) Not a great night for sleep, but still managed to keep fitness and food in check. Started the day with my hour of elliptical. Zumba w/Kirsten. A store stop on the way home. #4 was in good spirits after school, having passed another Microsoft test and getting an art award. #5 had his first night of basketball camp over at the high school. Got in two treadmill times and did some vacuuming in the house. Steps 31246. Burn 3035. Intake 1800.
- Tuesday (0521) Started the day with my hour of elliptical. Taught Zumba over at the church, and got two treadmill times in. Hubs and #3 did a derby in the evening. #5 had his basketball camp. Ended up making Ziti quite late for #1 and wife, who stopped by hungry. Very rainy day! Steps 30459. Burn 3130. Intake 1900.
- Wednesday (0522) Same exercise as yesterday - hour of elliptical, Zumba and two treadmill times. My usual MZL Zumba had canceled with a building conflict, so I went to Southziders. Fun to see everyone again and check out the new building. Costco stop on the way home. #4 had a friend come home with him after school. Did Dominos for an early dinner. Hubs and #3 did a derby again, and #5 had basketball camp. Made graduation announcements for #3 and got them printed off so he could pass them out to his friends. Steps 32064. Burn 3182. Intake 1800.
- Thursday (0523) #2 had a late shift with work, didn't get in until 3:00 am! My morning was a bit off, I didn't quite get my hour of elliptical in early, but did by end of day. Zumba with MZL and some errands after. Rain in the forecast, but the morning was okay, so I did some work in the garden, until the hail hit! Long fasting day today ... not planned, just stayed busy and didn't eat early. No treadmill time, and didn't quite hit 30k, although I was very close. Vacuuming. Went to watch #2 play in the alumni tournament at one high school, while dropping off and picking up #5 at the other high school. He won the top spot at the camp, and #2's team took the tournament. Hubs and #1 son did a derby. Steps 29261. Burn 3282. Intake 1400.
- Friday (0524) #3 was the one to stay out all night ... Senior "prank" and such. Missed his first couple classes catching some zzzzzs, super tired after school. Some errands after dropping the boys off at school. Got in my hour of elliptical, but that was it for exercise. I mowed the front lawn. #5 had a basketball game. Steps 17320. Burn 2447. Intake 1850.
- Saturday (0525) Some friends from California were in town, so we had them over for breakfast. Fun to see them again! #5 had a couple of games later in the day, and #3 had to work. Hubs worked. I hit the treadmill for a couple miles, and mowed the back lawn and did some additional yardwork. #1 and wife came over to cook, made Tinga and some brownies. Then they took the two littles to a movie. Steps 14418. Burn 2455. Intake 2400.
- Sunday (0526) Broke my fast early, food temptations from last night I'd resisted were too much in the morning. Hubs went to work again, but took a field trip to check out Pineview Reservoir. #5 went to a movie with some teammates. #1 and wife were over again, to partake of the steak dinner Hubs cooked up (past my window, but I ate). They made brownies and cookies, and then #3 and a couple of friends made cookies too. Busy kitchen ... messy kitchen! Did get in two+ miles on the treadmill. Steps 12938. Burn 2297. Intake 2800.
Graduation announcements for #3
... a long fast
#2 and the 2016 team ... 1st place in the alumni tournament.
The DiFran family ... Friends from California in town!
