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 (January 9 – January 15, 2023):

Last week was pretty good. I’ve gotten back into a routine, mostly. My daughter had her post-op appointment and the doctor said she’s doing great. I ate too much and didn’t exercise as much as usual due to bad weather.

Weight: I was up 0.5 lbs.

Goals: I didn’t work out as much as I like to, mostly because of bad weather. I did my breathing mediation every day.

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

Goals for January:

  • Use the breathe mediation app on my watch daily  – 7/7 days
  • Close all three “rings” in Apple Watch, 5 days per week. – 4/5 days
  • Move with purpose (exercise) at least 30 minutes, 5 days per week. – 4/5 days
  • Be under my DAILY caloric intake maximum on at least 2 days. – 2/2 days
  • Be no more than 750 calories over my total calorie consumption goal each week. – no (+1,389 cals)
  • Limit alcohol intake to 2 days per week (for a total of 4 servings per week). – 1 days (1 servings)

My overall goals for 2023 are:

  • To maintain a healthy weight and not exceed my January 1st 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 add yoga and add meditation to my weekly routine. I will do this with the Peloton app, with a goal of yoga at least one time per week. I will do this with the Apple Watch Breathe app, with a goal of a short breathing meditation every day.
  • 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.
So are you ready to lace up your sneakers? Are you ready to up your commit to fit?
