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 (October 6 – October 12, 2025):
Monday was Tai Chi again, and I like that it’s getting more complex! Thursday I was on my feet for much of the day. Our former pastor from when my kids were little (he baptized both) passed away, and our church hosted the service and a luncheon. I helped set up and serve food. He was such an awesome person and will be missed. Friday was my son’s 22nd birthday. He and his friends flew to Nashville for their break, so I didn’t see him. Instead, I drove to my daughter’s school to pick her up for the school’s four-day break. She has two friends that live too far to go home, so they came with us! We went out for Mexican before the drive home through traffic. Saturday my husband and I went to a 60th birthday party for a friend and I visited for a few hours. Sunday, I took the girls to see our neighbor’s son play soccer at his college, then we had dinner and had a game night at their home. The girls will stay until Tuesday, so more to come next week.
Weight: I was down 1.1 pounds for the week.
Goals: I didn’t do as well last week meeting my goals, but I did do well with my food intake, so that helped with the weight loss. I was just being lazy on Sunday and at the end of the day, I realized I only tracked my breakfast and decided not to try and figure out the rest since I’d been snacking at the neighbors. I need to make a better effort with my exercise.
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.

Goals for last week:
-
- Walk/Move 5 days – I moved 3 days and closed my rings 4 days.
- Track food 7 days – 6.5 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.
