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 8 – December 14, 2025):
I started with week with Tai Chi and then got fitted for custom feet orthotics which should help with my foot pain. I worked some Monday, then Tuesday and Wednesday per my usual schedule. On Thursday I had the annual holiday luncheon with our Board of Directors and then went to pick up my daughter from college. Her semester is done, and she’s home until mid-January. Friday was work and dinner out with my in-laws. Saturday, my daughter and I took the train to Boston where we met our friends for dinner and went to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Sunday was a big “get stuff done” day and watching football.
Weight: I was down 0.2 pounds for the week. (So basically, I stayed the same.)
Goals: These days I’m just trying to get from day to day. I’m not tracking food, but I am trying not to overeat or snack too much. I did get some decent movement in last week (but this current week, nothing!). If I can just make it through the holidays…
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.
Don’t forget to join the Facebook Group and check in with us there!
Goals for last week:
-
- Walk/Move 5 days – I moved 4 days and closed my rings 2 days.
- Track food 7 days – 0 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.
