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 (February 13 – February 19, 2023):
Last week was a pretty quiet week. We have a remodel going on, which includes the kitchen, and this past week, the counter tops, sink, disposal, and dishwasher all went away. So that meant a lot of eating out; however, I did really well with my choices. I lost half the weight I put on last week, which is good, because this week, I start my vacation (more on that next week). The weather was nicer, too, so I got in some longer walks.
Weight: I was down 1.4 pounds.
Goals: I did really well last week, with the exception of the breathing meditation. If I don’t do it first thing in the morning, I tend to forget about it, and a couple days out of routine throughs the whole thing off.
Don’t forget to join the Facebook Group and check in with us there!
Goals for February:
- Use the breathe mediation app on my watch daily. – 5/7 days
- Close all three “rings” in Apple Watch, 5 days per week. – 6/5 days
- Move with purpose (exercise) at least 30 minutes, 5 days per week. -6/5 days
- Be under my DAILY caloric intake maximum on at least 2 days. – 5/2 days
- Be no more than 750 calories over my total calorie consumption goal each week. – yes (+234 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.
