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 (April 25 – May 1, 2022):

This week was a little better. My kids were on school vacation week, but we didn’t go anywhere (I was working). My son had two lacrosse games (in the cold and rain!). I joined a virtual conversation with one of my favorite authors, Milla Vane (aka Meljean Brook) on Saturday morning. I also ran errands and took my daughter driving. It was a pretty low key week.

Weight: Down 0.4 pounds.

Goals: I did get in my walking and closed my rings most of the week. I didn’t do as well as I had hoped with “questioning my decisions” when eating. I still overate a lot. But the movement helped keep my weight stable.

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

My overall goals for 2022 are:

  • To lose (approximately) five (5) pounds (from my Jan 1 start weight) and maintain the weight loss. 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 continue with my yoga and add meditation to my weekly routine. I will do this with the Peloton app, with a goal of yoga and/or meditation at least four times per week – but I’ll adjust month-to-month. Focus on being present in the now.
  • 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 April/May:

  • Use my in-home yoga two days per week. – 0/2
  • Add in-home meditation two days per week. – 0/2
  • 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. – 5/5
  • 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 (+2,853)
  • Limit alcohol intake to 2 days per week (for a total of 4 servings per week). – 2(3)
  • 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?
