Welcome to #FitReaders2025!! Felicia and I are excited to co-host this fitness-oriented group. If you have any questions about #FitReaders, you can leave them in the comment section or email me at twimom227(at)gmail(dot)com.
Most of our support is done via our Facebook Group. I post my weekly check-ins on Fridays, as it helps me be accountable. You are welcome to do your own check-in posts, check in below, in the comments, or check in with the Facebook group – whatever works for you!
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 10 – February 16, 2025):
The beginning of last week was very quiet. Mid-week I had to drive over an hour for a day-long meeting. It was a great meeting and they fed us Panera. I made good choices! We had another snow/rain storm on Thursday, so I did some shoveling. But with the rain and then cold temps, the roads are not walkable (icy). This means I didn’t get in walks, or any exercise the rest of the week. My girl called on Thursday evening, she had a fever. So I went to pick her up Friday, and worked later in the day after we got back. I’m sad she wasn’t feeling well, but I loved having her home. We caught up on our TV shows that we watch together and got in a couple new release movies. Another big storm on Sunday, which changed over to rain after 8″ of snow. I thought the roads were already a mess – now they are downright hazardous. She was doing better by Sunday afternoon and was able to do some homework. Luckily she didn’t have school on that next Monday.
Weight: I was down 1.8 pounds this past week.
Goals: I think the last couple of weeks are finally showing up on the scale. I’m not exercising as much, but I’m also not eating as much.

Goals:
- 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
- Stretch for 10 minutes 5 days per week. – 4/5 days
- Track food/calories 7 days per week. – 7/7 days
- Limit alcohol intake to 2 days per week. – 0 days
During 2025 I plan:
- To maintain or be less than my January 1st, 2024 weight. I will do with through exercise and making adjustments to my caloric intake. I don’t have to be perfect, but I do need to make a true effort.
- To move. I will do this primarily via walking, four to seven days per week. I also need to stretch most/all of the days I exercise.
- 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.
