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 (April 21 – April 27, 2025):
Last week was a long one. I did walk on Monday and Tuesday, but then things got really busy. I helped my friend move her daughter out of her college dorm on Wednesday. We went out for dinner on the way home, and we were all so hungry that we overate. Then on Thursday, I drove to the Philadelphia area to help my sister and family pack up and move to a new home about 10 miles away. She and I did walk on Friday, but then questioned our judgment after packing and moving for the rest of the day. We did not walk the rest of the time, but I did get in a lot of non-purposeful exercise with all of the moving. However, I ate horribly and at odd hours. I didn’t come home until Monday.
Weight: I was down 0.9 pounds for the week.
Goals: With all the packing and moving I did meet my “close my ring” goal. But everything else wasn’t spectacular at all.
Now I’m back home and I need to get back on track. My goals will be the same as they were last week. I will continue with walking 4 days for at least 30 minutes, while adding a shorter walk or workout on one of the yoga days. 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 April 21 – April 27:
- Walk 20-30 minutes, 5 days per week – 3/4 days
- Yoga 20-30 minutes, 2 days per week – 0/2 days
- Stretching 4 days per week (on days I walk) – 3/4 days
- Close all three “rings” in Apple Watch, 5 days per week. – 5/5 days
- Track food/calories 7 days per week. – 0/7 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.
