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 18 – August 24, 2025):
The beginning of the week was filled with check ups and various appointments. My co-workers and I gathered together to do a group art project at a local crafter in memory of my late boss. I was also in the office on Wednesday for half the day. Thursday, my MIL took my daughter and me out to breakfast, saying farewell to my daughter who is going back to college. That night, my husband, son, and I went out for Indian food. Friday was my 27th wedding anniversary. My husband had been traveling for work all week, so I made dinner at home and we opened a bottle of Chianti we brought back from Italy. We had a huge farewell to the college students cookout on Saturday, which was a lot of fun, but I ate too much! And then Sunday, we moved my daughter into her college dorm for her sophomore year. We went out to lunch after moving her.
Weight: I gained 0.8 pounds.
Goals: I started the week with every intention to stick to my food goals and track my progress. I did track Monday through Friday, but I was over my goals by 700+ calories for those five days. Then over the weekend, I just didn’t do well. I was able to get in some exercise, but with the overeating, it didn’t help much.
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 4 days and closed my rings 5 days.
- Track food 5 days – 5 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.
