#FitReaders Check-In

  • This check-in is for July 24th – 30th.
  • I went to Lake Tahoe this week with the Boyfriend and a couple of friends.  We all needed a break from the craziness of city life.  I got a lot of fresh air, a lot of exercise from walking around, and ate a lot of great food.  I also got sun burnt, and will be spending this weekend slathering myself with aloe.

Monday’s Minutes

“Monday’s Minutes” is a weekly post in which I track my bookish life.

Currently Reading:

  • A History of Reading by Alberto Manguel
  • The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers
  • Spying on the South by Tony Horwitz
  • Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher

Total pages read this week: 199

Total books for the year: 45 of 85. It was a slow reading week for me. I had a lot going on at work, then had to take my cat, Dresden to the vet, and I felt like playing “Stardew Valley” more than anything else. This week, I am determined to finish at least one of my current reads.

#FitReaders Check-In

  • This check-in is for July 17th – 23rd.
  • This was a rough week.  My cat, Dresden, got sick, and I had to take him to the vet.  I felt tired all week, and was dealing with allergies.  My feet and legs have been hurting thanks to plantar faciitis and ITBS, and I had to go back to doing my physical therapy exercises instead of the workouts I had planned.  Hopefully next week will be better.

#FitReaders Check-In

  • This check-in is for July 3rd – 9th.
  • In addition to my daily exercise, I’m going to add in a weekend 30 minute cardio workout.  I’ve been focusing on doing my physical therapy exercises, and I think my back is at a point where I can handle some cardio.
  • This week was a struggle, so it’s no surprise that I didn’t hit my step or active minutes goals.  I’m hoping the addition of some cardio will help change that.

Total books for the year: 42 of 85. It was another slow reading week, but only because I started implementing the Getting Things Done method, and that took up quite a bit of my time. It has been worth it, though! I have already gotten so many things done, and my life feels much more organized than it did before.

#FitReaders Check-In

  • This check-in is for June 26th – July 2nd.
  • I’m less than 100 miles from finishing the Appalachian Trail on Walking 4 Fun.  It’s taken me over 3 years to get to this point, but I’m still looking forward to reaching Mount Katahdin, and then starting a new virtual trail.
  • My stats are still increasing each week.  I increased my step count by a little more than 2K, and added on nearly an hour’s worth of active minutes!  I’m going to try to get my steps to 40K and my active minutes to 300 this week.
