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 (July 5 – July 11, 2021):
Overall, last week was a better week than the previous few. I did have fun: Monday was the end of a the holiday weekend, and we went to a cookout at my in-laws. Thursday I went to a graduation party for a good family friend. There was SOOO MUCH good food at that party. I also went to the new BJs in town and picked up an angel food cake, strawberries, and cream. So I ate dessert pretty much every night last week. Even though I was over for the week, I only had one day that I was WAY over my caloric intake (the day of the grad party). I think that, along with the fact that I worked out a lot last week, allowed me to lose weight. With our family vacation coming up in a couple weeks, I really want to get back down a couple pounds or my weight will sky-rocket.
Weight: Down one pound.
Goals: I did not meet my calorie-related goals last week; however, I did meet (and exceeded) my exercise-related goals.
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 July:
- 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. -7/5
- Move with purpose (exercise) at least 30 minutes, 5 days per week. – 7/5
- Be under my DAILY caloric intake maximum on at least 2 days. – 2/2
