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 (September 1 – September 7, 2025):
Monday was the Labor Day holiday. I helped my BFF move her daughter back to college in Boston. We started the day with a visit to see my daughter who has been in school for a week, then up to Boston for all the moving. It was a long day and a lot of walking. Tuesday was my first regular day back to work. It was very emotional as I miss my boss (friend) so much. She was a big proponent of my project and I feel a bit lost without her. I had my annual physical on Thursday and we talked about menopause, weight loss, and aches and pains. She is going to have me wear a heart monitor next week since I have had some dizzy spells. The weekend was very low key; however, I got to see my daughter again on Saturday since I helped a friend with an errand that took us about 10 minutes from her campus. My husband and I took my MIL out for Mexican on Saturday and I enjoyed a large margarita.
Weight: I was down 1 pound.
Goals: I had a good week, watching what I ate and moving. I did another restorative yoga, too. I have also started integrating some interval jogging into my walks to increase my heart rate some.
Goals for next week: My goal will be to track food 6 days, exercise/move 4 days, limit alcohol to 2 days.

Goals for last week:
-
- Walk/Move 4 days – I moved 5 days and closed my rings 5 days.
- Track food 6 days – 6 days.
- Limit alcohol 2 days – 3 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.
