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 (October 31 – November 6, 2022):
After eating and drinking a lot two weeks ago and then exceed my calories by a bunch this past week, I am up in weight – not a surprise. I had a Halloween party at work on Monday and then ate a lot of candy once I was home. The overindulgence in candy lasted most of the week. And then I went to get togethers on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons. So, lots of food and drink.
Weight: I was up 1.2 pounds last week.
Goals: I did great with my exercise, not so great with my food.
Don’t forget to join the Facebook Group and check in with us there!
Goals for November:
- Use my in-home yoga OR meditation app one day per week. – 1/1
- Close all three “rings” in Apple Watch, 5 days per week. – 6/5
- 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. – 2/2
- Be no more than 750 calories over my total calorie consumption goal each week. – no (+1,718)
- Limit alcohol intake to 2 days per week (for a total of 4 servings per week). – 3(6)
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.
