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 (September 27 – October 3, 2021):

After having a wonderful time away, I brought home the bad eating habits. I snacked, ate extra portions, and had double desserts most of the days last week. And of course, it takes no time at all to feel hungry all the time when I start overeating. It was not a good week food-wise.

Weight: Up another pound last week.

Goals: I did great with exercise, meeting those goals. Not so great with food intake.

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 September/October:

  • 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. – 1/2
  • Be no more than 1,250 calories over my total calorie consumption goal each week. – no (+4,426)
  • Limit alcohol intake to 2 days per week (for a total of 4 servings per week). – 2(4)
  • 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?
