#FitReaders Check-In

  • This check-in is for February 19th – 25th.
  • I sprained my ankle, so I’m a bit surprised I managed to do the amount of steps that I did.  It’s a very mild sprain, but still.
  • I’ve got a doctor’s appointment today, and so I should be able to add back in some legitimate exercise again, just in time to do a 1 Mile Fun “Run” before the end of February.

  • This check-in is for February 12th – 18th.
  • I only met my stairs goal this week, so I’ll be trying for an average of 6K steps per day again.
  • I started my new full-time job on Tuesday, and even though I take the stairs instead of the elevator and do other little things to get a few more steps, I’m still trying to figure out how and when I can workout during the week.

  • This check-in is for February 5th – 11th.
  • I didn’t meet any of my goals this week, so I’ll be trying for an average of 6K steps per day again.
  • I start my new full-time job on Tuesday, so I’ll have some adjusting to do to figure out how and when I can workout during the week.  It’s been awhile since I’ve had a regular full-time schedule, but hopefully having that sort of normal work week will allow me to get some regular exercise.

  • This check-in is for January 1st – 7th.
  • I completed my first 5K!  Sadly, I hurt my knee doing it.

  • Even with rest, the pain in my knee spread to my hip, which means this is more than just a minor setback.  The problem with ITBS is that I can’t just jump right back into what I was doing once the pain goes away.  I’m doing my physical therapy exercises and light yoga for now. I’m also restarting my walking program from the beginning (averaging 1K steps per day), and rebuilding the progress I made over the past year.  With any luck, I’ll be back to trying to get 9K steps a day within a couple of months.

  • Below are my goals, and the template for my weekly check-ins, which will now be on Fridays instead of Tuesdays.  The only goal I’ve changed is the total amount of money I want to raise through Plus3.  However, I’ve also added a new goal; I plan to complete at least ten 5K races so I can win a #FitReaders medal.
  • When I meet my step goal for the week, I will raise it by 1K until I’m averaging 12K steps per day (84K steps in a week).  After that, my plan is to try out a Couch to 5K running program to see if my knees can handle running again.  If not, then I’ll start doing more intensive cardio workouts.
