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 (December 1 – December 7, 2025):
I started with week with Tai Chi and breakfast with my bestie. I visited a friend in hospice, held her hand, and said goodbye. Tuesday was work from home per usual. Wednesday I was in the office and Bible study in the evening. On Thursday I saw the neurologist (a referral because of my dizzy spells earlier this fall). He wants to run a couple tests. Funny thing is, my symptoms (the spells) apparently have stopped! Friday, I went out to dinner with my husband. Saturday morning I had coffee with a friend I haven’t seen in about a year. I also did some Christmas shopping. Sunday was my daughter’s Winter Dance Recital at her college. We took her and her roommate out to dinner after and didn’t get home until after 9:00.
Weight: I was up o.2 pounds for the week. (So basically, I stayed the same.)
Goals: I did better with my goals last week. I didn’t make a huge effort but I wasn’t a slug the entire week, either. My “movement” wasn’t extensive – it included shoveling and some walking in place type of activities.
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 3 days.
- Track food 7 days – 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.
