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 26 – June 1, 2025):
Monday was Memorial Day and we just relaxed. Tuesday, I had to give a midday presentation over in Manchester, and with the weather getting nice, I went on a walk with a friend that evening. Wednesday I did a virtual Q&A with author Nalini Singh, where I found out she’s only writing one more book in her Guild Hunter series. Friday afternoon, my daughter fell and hurt her toe just before work, so we took her to the ER for X-rays. Since she’s had two surgeries on her foot, the ER doctor said we need to see her surgeon and put her in a boot. She was in a lot of pain all weekend and couldn’t work (spoiler alert for next week, she saw the doctor on Tuesday June 3rd and found out she broke her toe). Saturday we went to a graduation party for a close cousin’s kiddo (like a niece), and Sunday I went to a birthday party cookout for a friend. It was a fun and busy week!
Weight: I was up 0.2 pounds last week, and up 3.9 pounds for the month. I am 1.4 pounds above my January 1st weight.
Goals: I started out strong Monday – Wednesday, but then I just kind of gave up working at things by Thursday. And the weekend was filled with parties and eating a lot. When I don’t track my food, I use it as an excuse to eat more. I need to be more diligent.
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 June 2nd 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).

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. – 3/4 days
- Track food/calories 7 days per week. – 4/4 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.
