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 19 – May 25, 2025):
It was a fun week! On Tuesday I went out with a friend I haven’t seen in at least 6 months, probably more like 8 months. On Friday, my office closed at noon for the long weekend. We had a family lobstah (lobster) bake on Saturday. We FINALLY had decent weather on Sunday, which was good since we had our annual neighborhood Memorial weekend potluck. I also had two evening meetings last week, so I did a lot of peopling all week long.
Weight: I was up 2.8 pounds last week.
Goals: Well, you can probably guess by all the red in my goals, I didn’t have a great week. Between the rain and the fun activities, I just didn’t feel like prioritizing my exercise. Then with the going-out and get togethers, I ate more than I should. And it showed up on the scale. I weigh more than I did on January 1, and this is the heaviest I’ve ever been.
I’m keeping the same goals as last week, and I will continue to make an effort to lessen caloric intake. My goals for the week of May 26th 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 – 2/3 days
- Stretching 3 days per week (on days I walk) – 2/3 days
- Yoga 15+ minutes, 2 days per week – 0/2 days
- Close all three “rings” in Apple Watch, 4 days per week. – 2/4 days
- Track food/calories 7 days per week. – 3/4 days
- Limit alcohol intake to 2 days per week. – 3 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.
