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 30 – July 6, 2025):
I was busy with work at the beginning of the week, then we left for vacation on Wednesday July 2. We are at my folks’ home in Northern Michigan for a week, including the Fourth. The weather Wednesday – Saturday was amazing. We spent most of the days on the dock and in the lake. The Fourth was a great time. We got up and walked in the 2-mile fun run. We ate great fair food, including the best rotisserie chicken meal. The firework display was 30 minutes and absolutely amazing. Sunday it rained and I read pretty much all day. We still have a few days left before we head home (July 9 – I’ll be home by the time this publishes).
Weight: I was up 1.4 pounds last week.
Goals: We walked in the two mile race on Friday. I also walked once before we left on vacation. Because of all of the walking to and from the dock and around the town, I actually closed all of my Apple Fitness Rings five days. However, I did lots and lots of snacking plus consuming desserts, canned cocktails, and such. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m uncomfortable with my body, so I need to take a hard look at my behaviors when I get home.
I am on vacation from July 2 – 9, so my goals will be to try and walk and get in steps while I’m away. Also, I want to be mindful about snacking and avoid overeating on my vacation.
Don’t forget to join the Facebook Group and check in with us there!
Goals for last week:
-
- Walk/Move 30 minutes, as much as I can – I walked 2 days and closed my rings 5 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.
