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 (July 17 – July 23, 2023):
I honestly don’t recall what I did last week. It was a lovely summer week off. I did go out to see a comedy show with some friends on Saturday, and we ate/drank before-hand, which is why some of my numbers were up from last week.
Weight: I was down 0.5 pounds. I’ll take it!
Goals: I had another mostly great week with my goals and felt good. On Saturday, I mostly made good choices, but had a couple extra glasses of wine over the course of several hours.
Don’t forget to join the Facebook Group and check in with us there!
Goals for July:
- Stretch for 10 minutes 5 days per week. – 6/5 days
- Close all three “rings” in Apple Watch, 5 days per week. – 7/5 days
- Move with purpose (exercise) at least 30 minutes, 5 days per week. – 7/5 days
- Be under my DAILY caloric intake maximum on at least 2 days. – 4/2 days
- Be no more than 750 calories over my total calorie consumption goal each week. – YES (+577 cals)
- Limit alcohol intake to 2 days per week (for a total of 4 servings per week). – 1 days (4.5 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.
