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 25 – August 31, 2025):
The start of last week was quiet with my daughter returned to college, my son working nights, and my husband traveling for his job. I had a really nice dinner out with my coworkers and our Board of Directors on Wednesday. Although it wasn’t a memorial or anything like that, we came together because of the passing of my boss. I helped my son pack and he left for college on Friday. The neighborhood gang went out for an “empty nester” dinner at a local brew pub on Friday and gathered together for cookouts on Saturday and Sunday. We enjoyed not having to worry about work since Monday was a holiday.
Weight: I was down 0.6 pounds, but up 1.5 pounds for the month of August.
Goals: I did better with my goals last week, even getting in a restorative yoga session (I need to do more of those). Even with the eating out and cookouts, I did a decent job of limiting my calories.
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 walked 5 days and closed my rings 5 days.
- Track food 5 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.
