Actifit Tracking + HIIT Workout 🏋️♀️ and My First Day Tracking Calories 🤷♀️
Hi Friends!
I had so many new health and fitness experiences today. Also - this is one of my highest step counts in a while! I hit around 6500 the last few days - but didn’t end up posting. Still though... I’m excited to see my average daily step count rising.
Here’s my daily health recap! 💪🏻
The Daily Health Highlight Reel
Started our the morning with a nice long walk.
Had my favorite smoothie this afternoon! 🍓
Cooked a tasty steak dinner with roasted broccoli and an onion/mushroom medley.
Actually started counting my calories for the first time in my life. I downloaded the MyFitnessPal app and and it actually wasn’t as cumbersome as I thought. Not sure how long I’ll track - but it will be interesting to see where I really am.
Did a HIIT workout today running hills! Been a long time since I did that l, but damn it’s crazy how much that can get your heart rate up! Only did it for about 10 minutes and it was still a crazy workout. There is a lake with a trail close to me that has the perfect hill for this kind of workout.
Ps... thinking about getting a gym membership for the first time in a while and actually start lifting some weights... I’ll keep you guys updated on how that goes. Thinking of trying the 5x5 workout because it’s super simple, full body, and has you start out super slow.
How many calories are you doing? I stopped counting years ago 😂... I think I’m about 3k a day. 🤷🏼♂️

Well I’m eating less now that I’m actually tracking 😂. I had no idea I was eating so much because I eat mostly paleo and whole foods. But it really does add up!
The last few days I’ve averaged around 1500. I’m mildly hungry - but I think I’ll get used to it. I’m trying to get leaner right now - but will up it to more of a maintenance amount when I’m where I want to be.
Tracking food is a pretty good way to monitor nutritional consumption but I find it often tough to measure the portions. I have done it in the past and the awareness helps plenty!

Yeah i've always shied away from it because I thought it would get super annoying to try and track things all the time - but so far it's been a good experience. Like you said, just getting the awareness is helpful!
I like how you post things. It's not the normal template a normal post with a few lines. Great turn on the actifit kind of posting that everyone does. (Like me😂🤣😂)
Great job on the progress and the gym yeah the gym.... 🙈🤣😂🤣😂 the miracle machines there.

aww thanks @hans001! I try to switch things up and make my Actifit posts more engaging. :)
I've shied away from the gym for a long time - but am excited to try it out! Even when I used to go to the gym, I mostly did cardio - so doing actual weights with a barbell this time will be interesting.
