#FitReaders Check-In

Published on by Rachelle
  • This check-in is for July 30th – August 5th.
  • I think I have the hang of Intermittent Fasting now, but I’m sticking to 15:9s (15 hours of fasting).  That seems to be about the longest I can go without it affecting my mood.
  • I’m now working from home, and that has meant a decrease in steps.  The Boyfriend and I are still taking walks after dinner, but I’m going to have to figure out how to add more steps in throughout the day to make up the difference.
  • If you have a FitBit, you can find me HERE.
  • Active Days: 4/5
  • Steps: 26,995
  • Miles: 11.05
  • Total Miles: 398.48/1,000
  • Active Minutes: 165/150

  • Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas

Challenges:

Catherine House was creepy weird and gave me strange dreams after I finished it before going to bed last night. I hadn’t planned on finishing it until I saw that I had fewer than 30 pages left.

Apparently fun, easy books have been exactly what I needed to get my reading back up. I’m also done with How to Train Your Dragon, and while Catherine House doesn’t fit into the “fun” category, it is weird and has sucked me right in. I just started it yesterday, and I wish I had a longer lunch break so I could read it at work. I might still try.

I have fully immersed myself into fun, easy reads rather than try to get through anything heavy, and I’m perfectly ok with that because it means I’m still reading.

  • This check-in is for July 9th – 15th.
  • The Intermittent Fasting is still going well, but getting any kind of exercise has not.  My job is a lot less physically active than my last job, and while I’ve been coming up with every excuse I can think of to get up from my desk and walk, but it isn’t enough.

This past week was exhausting, and I ended up reading I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf as a sort of comfort read because my brain did not want to have to think about anything and I needed to relax before bed.

Tomorrow I start my new job, and because my mind equates a first day with Monday, I thought today was Sunday. Luckily, I woke up early-ish and realized that, even though it feels like a Sunday, it is not. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have posted this until much later.

This past week has been a whirlwind of activity, including going to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, and I think I have finally recovered. At least, I’m recovered enough for another whirlwind week. I’m not going to make any plans for the weekend so that I can relax and read and nap.
