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 15 – September 21, 2025):
OOPS! Looks like this didn’t post on Friday… Better late than never!!
Monday was my second Tai Chi class. It’s slow going so far, as we are learning one new move each week. But I am enjoying it and look forward to learning the entire form. I worked in our office on Wednesday, which is going to be my new schedule (I work from home the other days). We had a staff lunch and I only ate half of my sandwich so that I could have a few fries. I walked with a friend on Thursday evening. Saturday was so much fun. It was parents’ weekend at my daughter’s school (we missed it last year when we were in Europe). The weather was AMAZING. We planned a tailgate with her roommate’s parents. Lots of their friends came by. We visited and laughed, grilled and had some great snacks. Sunday was busy helping move furniture at our church. I also participated in the Read-Along chat after missing a few months.
Weight: I was down 1.2 pounds.
Goals: I did really well, even thought I didn’t log my food on Saturday. And technically I didn’t exercise Saturday, but I walked over 11,000 steps and was on my feet a lot, so I burned more calories and closed my activity rings.
Goals for next week: My goal will be to track food 7 days, exercise/move 5 days and close rings 5 days, limit alcohol to 2 days.
Don’t forget to join the Facebook Group and check in with us there!
Goals for last week:
-
- Walk/Move 5 days – I moved 4 days and closed my rings 5 days.
- Track food 7 days – 6 days.
- Limit alcohol 2 days – 2 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.
