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 24 – March 2, 2025):
I was still in Daytona on Monday morning, traveling back home that day. I didn’t get in until late. My husband was gone most of the week for a work event. I had a busy work week after missing a couple days. Thursday February 27 was my birthday. I had a great day where I shopped local and treated myself. I went to breakfast, bought myself some goodies, got my hair done, and a got a facial. My husband got back home, and we had a quiet dinner with a bottle of wine from our trip to Italy. Friday, our new sectional was delivered – our old one was nineteen years old and falling apart. My girlfriend took me out to dinner on Friday, and I went out with family on Sunday to celebrate my birthday. My house smells like spring from the beautiful flowers I received from family and friends.
Weight: I was down 1.3 pounds last week, which is about half of the weight I gained while at Coastal Magic. I didn’t lose or gain weight for the month of February.
Goals: My goal for my first week back after Coastal Magic was to track my food. I did a decent job, skipping Thursday, which was my birthday (I also didn’t do Monday because I was still traveling.) I did get in one day of exercise when a friend called to walk on Saturday. Overall, my caloric intake was down since I was back home. I have one week until I go on vacation (I’ll be leaving shortly after this posts). My goals this week will be to track my food everyday and move for at least 10 minutes 4 days.

Goals:
- Close all three “rings” in Apple Watch, 5 days per week. – 2/5 days
- Move with purpose (exercise) at least 30 minutes, 5 days per week. – 1/5 days
- Stretch for 10 minutes 5 days per week. – 1/5 days
- Track food/calories 7 days per week. – 5/7 days
- Limit alcohol intake to 2 days per week. – 2 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.
