#FitReaders Check-In

Published on by Rachelle
  • This check-in is for April 2nd – 8th.
  • I haven’t lost any weight this week.
  • I finally got half of one of my raised garden beds filled with the soil mixture I’m making, but that was very hard on my back, so I’m delayed (again) until next weekend. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate.  I will probably only have one garden bed this year, instead of the two that I had planned.

  • I haven’t lost any weight this week.
  • More rain and high winds kept me from doing much of anything in the yard this weekend, and then the Boyfriend got sick, so my energy has gone toward taking care of him and everything he usually does along with my share of the chores.

  • Thunderstorms and high winds kept me from doing any gardening stuff yesterday, but today is supposed to be warm and sunny.  I’ve got a lot to get done today, but I should have some time this afternoon to do at least a couple of things outside.

  • This check-in is for March 12th – 18th.
  • I’ve lost 3 lbs this week.  I was on a medication that was making me retain water and as soon as I was done with the prescription, my weight went down overnight.
  • I wasn’t able to do any gardening stuff this weekend.  It’s been even colder than last weekend, and of course, the temperature is going to go up during the week when I don’t have the time to do much of anything.  The weather forecast for next weekend looks good, fingers crossed.

  • This check-in is for March 5th – 11th.
  • I haven’t lost any weight this week.
  • I got the materials to put together a second raised bed for my garden, and I started seeds for broccoli, celery, and lettuce, but I wasn’t able to do anything else thanks to the weather.  I tried to paint the boards that make up the raised beds, but it was too cold, even in the garage with a space heater.  Hopefully, I’ll be able to finish the raised beds next weekend.

  • This check-in is for February 26th – March 4th.
  • I haven’t lost any weight this week.
  • I got one of my raised beds built this weekend, and I’ll hopefully be able to build the second one next weekend.  I’ll also start seeds for some broccoli and celery today and set up my new compost bin.  Future projects will include setting up a rain barrel and installing a garden fence.  All of my plans are making me wish I didn’t have to work and then try to squeeze everything into weekends and evenings.
  • I finally earned another $5 towards something on my wishlist.

  • This check-in is for February 19th – 25th.
  • I’ve lost one pound this week, bringing my weight down by a total of 9 pounds.  This has been a super stressful week, and I’m very surprised that I lost weight instead of gaining.
  • Though my original change in diet included being allowed to have one fast-food meal per month, I’m finding that I’m sorely disappointed in the taste and quality and I don’t want it anymore.  I’d rather make a burger and fries at home.
  • I will be trying my hand at gardening this year, and I’m really excited about it!  I’ll be outside and more physically active and will hopefully end up with a lot of great-tasting produce.

  • The constant up and down with the weather is messing with my back and sinuses, and that makes me glad I chose the free option for the Taji 100.  I won’t be signing up again as long as I live in Ohio.  February is just not a good month here.

  • This check-in is for January 29th – February 4th.
  • I didn’t lose any weight this week.
  • I signed up for this year’s Taji 100 after I learned that I could register for free and not get the t-shirt, medal, and other things that come with the paid registration.  Unfortunately, I got sick soon after I signed up and am already behind on my miles.  Life happens when you’re busy making plans.
  • Despite getting sick, I managed to get my miles for the week toward my annual goal, which means I’ve earned $5 toward something from my Amazon wish list.  The Boyfriend and I are doing a “No-Spend” month, though, so I’ll be saving that for March.
