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 (September 18 – September 24, 2023):
And a second week in a row with an OOPS! I completely forgot to write and schedule this post. I could blame my neglect on important things, but honestly, I was probably too busy playing games on my phone. Anyhow, last week was pretty normal. I played chauffeur for my daughter and friend all week – her friend who drives her to school broke her foot and can’t drive, so since I work from home, I can drive them. I didn’t fit in all of my exercise, and I don’t really remember why at this point. Saturday, I spent the day touring colleges with my daughter, so even though I didn’t exercise, I got in lots of steps and closed my ring that day.
Weight: I was up 0.6 pounds for the week.
Goals: Not great but not bad.
Don’t forget to join the Facebook Group and check in with us there!
Goals for August:
- Stretch for 10 minutes 5 days per week. – 4/5 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 3 days. – 2/3 days
- Be no more than 500 calories over my total calorie consumption goal each week. – No (+1,666 cals)
- Limit alcohol intake to 2 days per week (for a total of 4 servings per week). – 2 days (3 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.
