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 (August 11 – August 17, 2025):
Continuing from last week… I started the week on vacation, my daughter and I were visiting my sister’s family. Last Monday my sister and I took my daughter and youngest niece to Hershey Park. It was a hot and fun day filled with lots of rides. It’s the first time my daughter could ride all the big rides, and we had a lot of fun. On Tuesday, we had a low key day that included a few hours at the pool. My daughter and I drove home on Wednesday. On Thursday I went to breakfast with my girlfriend and put in a few hours working from home. On Friday, a group of us, including our daughters, went to see the Boy Band Review, a small concert at a local venue. We had a lot of fun dancing and singing to covers of songs from bands like N’Sync, Back Street Boys, and One Direction. My busy week ending seeing musical show of The Wiz in Boston with my girlfriend.
Weight: I gained 1.8 pounds over the past two weeks (no weigh-in last Monday).
Goals: It wasn’t a great week for meeting my goals, as I was on vacation for part of the week, and then had some big outings at the end of the week. Even though I didn’t exercise as much as I wanted to, I was moving a lot (I got over 15,000 steps when we were at Hershey Park).
Goals for next week: My goal will be to track food 5 days, exercise/move 4 days, limit alcohol to 2 days.

Goals for last week:
-
- Walk/Move 4 days – I walked 3 days and closed my rings 5 days.
- Track food 5 days – 0 days.
- Limit alcohol 2 days – 4 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.
