I check in here every Friday, but my fitness week is Monday – Sunday. So my check-ins are always about a week behind.
Last Week (March 30 – April 5, 2020):
Week 3 of full COVID-19 distancing. The weather was decent and I managed to get outside and walk with my neighbor five days. The other two days I listened to my audiobook and walked around my home. Luckily I have a layout that allows me to circle around, so I can get decent speed and walk about 1.5-1.7 miles in 30 minutes. No yoga.
Eating is getting a bit out of control. Last week, Easter candy and wine were to blame. When I bought some candy for the kids for Easter, I snagged myself a bag, and I ate it all last week. I was eating about 300-400 calories each day of candy. Plus, I got into the wine a few days. *sigh*
Weight: After two weeks of overeating, I was up 1.6 lbs for the week. Overall I’m down 4.6 lbs for the year.
I am hosting the Facebook Group this month, so pop on over and check in with us there!
My Goals for 2020:
My overall goals for 2020 remain much the same as the past few months:
- To lose 10 pounds and get back to my goal weight through healthy eating and exercise.
- To remain an active member of FitReaders and support my fellow members.
Goals for April:
