#FitReaders Check-In

Published on by Rachelle
  • 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.

  • Steps: 24,548/40,000

  • 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.

  • This check-in is for June 19th – 25th.
  • I’m sticking with the Noom program, but I still haven’t lost any weight.  I’m just glad to have the motivation to eat healthier food and be more active.  Hopefully, the weight loss will happen at some point, but I do have more energy (most days), and I feel healthier.  That’s supposed to be the point, right?
  • You may have noticed that my stats are slowly increasing each week.  Seeing that definitely makes me happy!

  • This check-in is for May 29th – June 4th.

  • This check-in is for May 22nd – 28th.
  • We had a weird-for-this-time-of-year heat wave, and the idea of doing anything other than hanging out in front of the fan (I don’t have AC) felt like torture.  Luckily, I got a decent amount of exercise on Sunday before the heat wave hit.

  • This check-in is for May 8th – 14th.
  • Unfortunately, fitness fell by the wayside this week.  I got distracted by a video game, “Stardew Valley”, and then Bout of Books and catching up with the reading assignments for the two online classes I’ve been taking.
