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 (May 12 – May 18, 2025):
Last week was a good one. The kids got their stuff stored for the summer and into a routine. On Wednesday, I went to a banquet with the women from my church. It was nice to catch up with several of the older members who don’t make it Sunday mornings much. Friday was a nice day (finally) and we had a big cookout with the neighbors. We also played games and had a lot of fun. Sunday I made it to the read-along chat.
Weight: I was down 1.2 pounds last week.
Goals: I was really was motivated and felt good last week.
Since the goals worked for me, I’m going to keep the same goals as last week, and continue to make an effort to lessen caloric intake. My goals for the week of May 19th are: Walk/move for 30 minutes (3 days), Stretch (3 days), Yoga for 15 minutes (2 days), Close Rings (4 days), Log food (4 days), Limit drinks (2 days).
Don’t forget to join the Facebook Group and check in with us there!
Goals for last week:
-
- Walk/Move 30 minutes, 3 days per week – 4/3 days
- Stretching 3 days per week (on days I walk) – 4/3 days
- Yoga 15+ minutes, 2 days per week – 2/2 days
- Close all three “rings” in Apple Watch, 4 days per week. – 5/4 days
- Track food/calories 7 days per week. – 6/4 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.
