Welcome to #FitReaders2021!! Felicia the Geeky Blogger and I are super excited to be co-hosting this fitness-oriented group for another year! If you have any questions about #FitReaders, you can leave them in the comment section or email me at twimom227(at)gmail(dot)com.

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 (May 24 – May 30, 2021):

Last week was another busy one. We had lacrosse games, car service, doctors’ appointments, and pedicures to prep for my trip. My daughter and I left Friday and were gone until Wednesday; we visited good friends in Florida.

Weight: Since I was traveling, I did not get to weigh in on Monday. We’ll see next week how vacation went!

Goals: Even though I was busy and then on vacation, I did pretty good with my goals. I exercised all but the day I traveled. I did eat over my calories and enjoyed a few more cocktails than usual each day on vacation, but overall, it wasn’t too bad!

Don’t forget to join the Facebook Group and check in with us there!

My Goals for 2021:

My overall goals for 2021 are:

  • To lose approximately 10 pounds (from my Jan 1 start weight) and get back to my goal weight. I will do with through healthy eating and exercise. I don’t have to be perfect, but I do need to make a true effort. 
  • To get back into yoga or start some sort of strength training. I miss yoga, but found I wasn’t doing it at home, alone, since COVID shut down the studio I went to. I need to change things up.
  • To remain an active member of FitReaders and support my fellow members. I will do this by actively participating in the FitReader Facebook Group and continuing to share my journey with my weekly check-in on the blog.

Goals for May:

  • Use my in-home yoga and/or stretching program two days per week. – 2/2
  • Close all three “rings” in Apple Watch, 5 days per week. -5/5
  • Move with purpose (exercise) at least 30 minutes, 5 days per week. – 6/5
  • Be under my DAILY caloric intake maximum on at least 2 days. – 3/2
  • Be no more than 1,250 calories over my total allotted calorie consumption each week. – NO (+2,249)
  • Limit alcohol intake to 2 days per week (for a total of 4 servings per week). – NO 3(6)
  • Drink 64 oz of non-caffeinated water/beverages, 7 days per week. – 7/7
So are you ready to lace up your sneakers? Are you ready to up your commit to fit?
