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 (December 12 – December 18, 2022):
Last week went by in a huge blur. My daughter had spinal fusion surgery on Tuesday and was in the hospital until Sunday. She was in the operating room for nine hours. The surgery went well, and she is recovering nicely. I wasn’t able to exercise much and all my food was from the hospital cafe, so the weight gain is completely expected.
Weight: I was up 1.6 pounds.
Goals: not much happening last week.
Don’t forget to join the Facebook Group and check in with us there!
Goals for December:
- Use the breathe mediation app on my watch daily – 3/7 days
- Close all three “rings” in Apple Watch, 5 days per week. – 3/5 days
- Move with purpose (exercise) at least 30 minutes, 5 days per week. – 2/5 days
- Be under my DAILY caloric intake maximum on at least 2 days. – 3/2 days
- Be no more than 750 calories over my total calorie consumption goal each week. – no (+1,083 cals)
- Limit alcohol intake to 2 days per week (for a total of 4 servings per week). – 1 day (2 servings)
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.
