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 20 – October 26, 2025):
Tai Chi was back on after the long weekend and I’m learning more of the form. Thursday was the memorial event for my boss, so I was at work most of the day. I got in lots of steps and flights of stairs setting up and then hosting the guests who came to remember and honor her. Friday I went for a walk with a friend. Saturday, we were up and out early, driving the three hours to my son’s college for Parents’ Weekend. We got to meet many of his friends and their parents. We went to a cookout and walked all over. We also attended a ceremony for the nursing students, including him, who were inducted in to the honor society. I am super proud of my boy! That night, my husband and I went to a bar near our hotel so I could watch the University of Michigan football game. On Sunday, we took our son out to breakfast, then hit the spirit shop so I could get a new sweatshirt. After we got back home, we watched the second half of the Patriots game with our neighbors.
Weight: I was up 0.2 pounds for the week.
Goals: Last week was a flip from the week before. This time, I got in lots of exercise, but basically tossed out good eating habits for most of the week. At least with all of the movement, I was able to keep the weight loss to a bare minimum.
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 5 days and closed my rings 6 days.
- Track food 4 days – 7 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.
