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 27 – November 2, 2025):
Last week was a fun one. I started with Tai Chi on Monday, and I was the only one in class, so I was able to ask lots of questions and work on my form. I went to see a podiatrist on Tuesday. Good news… I don’t have arthritis yet. My high arches and “wear and tear” on my feet is what is causing the pain. I will be fitted for orthotics which should help “give my feet more energy.” Unfortunately, that appointment isn’t until December. Wednesday the workers came to start painting my first floor and build some shelving. My office had our annual Halloween party. I dressed as Waldo. Thursday, I went out to breakfast with my MIL. Friday was Halloween. A couple of neighbors came over and we passed out candy while catching up. Saturday was my neighbor’s 21st birthday. She is like a second daughter to me. Since none of her friends are 21 yet, we mom’s took her out to celebrate. We took a train into Boston and went out to dinner. That was followed by a “haunted” pub crawl where we learned the history of some of the older pubs in the city. It was a lot of fun. Sunday was church followed by watching the Patriots game with the neighbors.
Weight: I was down 0.1 pounds for the week and down 0.4 pounds for the month. That’s down for two months in a row!
Goals: It wasn’t the best week, but it wasn’t the worst. I got in only four days of exercise, but I didn’t eat and drink as much as the previous week.
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 4 days and closed my rings 4 days.
- Track food 4 days – 6 days.
- Limit alcohol 2 days – 1 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.
