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 (June 2 – June 8, 2025):
As I mentioned last week, my daughter hurt her foot and on Tuesday, we went to the doctor. She broke a bone in her big toe and has to wear a boot and put no weight on the toe for a couple weeks. She had to cancel all of her work shifts. The rest of my work week was pretty quiet. Thursday, my day off, was absolutely beautiful and we spent a few hours soaking up sun at the beach. My daughter hobbled in her boot (and we carried her some). Over the weekend, it rained, but we still made time to hang out with the neighbors and grill burgers.
Weight: I was down 0.2 pounds last week.
Goals: It was another week with a similar pattern. I find that I am not even motivated to walk. We go to dinner or hang out with friends, and I eat too much. I find when I drink a glass of wine or have a beer, I tend to eat more, so I’m going to try cutting out any alcohol for the next few weeks. I’m also taking pressure off myself and minimizing my goal just to walk. I want to try to keep it simple and be thoughtful when I eat.
My goals for the week of June 9th are: Walk/move for 4 days and no alcohol.
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– 3/3 days
- Stretching 3 days per week (on days I walk) – 3/3 days
- Yoga 15+ minutes, 2 days per week – 0/2 days
- Close all three “rings” in Apple Watch, 4 days per week. – 4/4 days
- Track food/calories 7 days per week. – 0/4 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.
