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 (March 31 – April 6, 2025):
It was another quiet week with my husband traveling for work Monday through Friday. Although the weather is mostly cold and rainy, we had some sunshine and Friday and ended up hanging out, watching basketball with the neighbors. On Saturday, the neighbor group took a road trip to watch our neighbors’ son play college lacrosse. He is a senior and this is his final season. The weather started okay, but it was sleeting and raining by the time the game was over. Afterwords, we came home, got on dry clothes, and played games. Sunday was rainy and quiet.
Weight: And last week I was up 1.2 pounds, which is the amount I lost the week before!
Goals: I did really well with my movement/exercise. I am getting more confident with the yoga and finding I’m enjoy the reintroduction into my week. I think as long as I keep the goal minimal, I will continue to do it. I blew my food tracking and good eating on Saturday. We were on the road and at the lacrosse game, and I just ate a lot of junk food. But I got back to tracking and better eating the next day. It’s frustrating how one or two bad days can blow up the week, especially when those days are near the end of the week.
Next week I will try to add in another day of walking; walking 4 days between 20 and 30 minutes. I’ll also keep the yoga goal to 2 days at 20 minutes and closing the fitness rings on five days.
Don’t forget to join the Facebook Group and check in with us there!
Goals for March 31-April 6:
- Walk 20-30 minutes, 3 days per week – 4/3 days
- Yoga 20-30 minutes, 2 days per week – 2/2 days
- Stretching 3 days per week (on days I walk) – 4/3 days
- Close all three “rings” in Apple Watch, 5 days per week. – 5/5 days
- Track food/calories 7 days per week. – 7/7 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.
