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 23 – June 29, 2025):
My week was busy trying to wrap up work before my summer vacation. I had an offsite event on Tuesday and I was in the office on Wednesday. We had a kick-off for summer lunch after our staff meeting. My project wrapped up on Friday and I sent it into the federal government for review (it’s part of a federal grant program). I also attended a farewell get together for a coworker on Thursday. Saturday was a lot of fun when we visited my brother in law and partner’s new home and met her family. Sunday ended up being a beautiful day and we grilled out with the neighbors.
Weight: I was up 0.7 pounds last week and up 0.7 pounds for the month. I’m now 2 pounds up for the year and 5.5 pounds up from the start of 2024.
Goals: I managed to walk four days last week. My feet have been really bothering me, so I made sure to take some rest days. I ended up drinking at two get togethers – not much at all, but I do think it contributed to me snacking more at those events.
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 – 4/3 days
- Limit alcohol to zero days – 2/0 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.
