#FitReaders Check-In #30

Published on by Rachelle

  • This check-in is for July 20th – 26th.  I completed week one of the 10-Week Mindful Diet Plan for Healthy Eating from Yoga Journal.
  • I did great during the week but ran into some snags that I hadn’t thought about or planned for over the weekend.  My original plan was to do yoga in the morning before I got ready to go to class, but on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I would do yoga at night before I went to bed.  Well, Friday night is the one night I get the apartment to myself and can do whatever I want because it’s the Boyfriend’s gaming night.  The last thing I wanted to do was interrupt my fun with yoga.  Saturday night is date night, and Sunday night was spent studying for a test.
  • I’ll continue to do yoga in the morning during the week, including Friday, and at night on Sunday, but I’m not sure what to do for Saturday.  The Boyfriend works 3rd shift and has to sleep during the day so I do everything I can to be as silent as possible and keep my use of light to a minimum.

  • This check-in is for July 13th – 19th.  I will be trying something different for the next ten weeks.  Instead of concentrating and failing week after week to reach my step goal, I’m doing the 10-Week Mindful Diet Plan for Healthy Eating from Yoga Journal.  It’s free and doesn’t require me to buy anything to follow the plan.
  • I started the plan yesterday so I won’t be updating on my progress until next week.
  • I’ll still try to get my steps in and track that information, but as of this morning, I’m starting a daily yoga practice in keeping with the plan.  I’ve added seven yoga sessions a week to my fitness goals listed below.
  • If you’d like to join me on this 10-week journey, leave a comment or friend me on Facebook.  If you don’t own any yoga DVDs or can go to a class, there are tons of free yoga videos on Youtube.

  • This check-in is for July 6th – 12th.  My goal was to walk more than I did the week before, and that’s exactly what I did, so I’m happy.
  • I’m going to try to average 8K steps a day again now that I’m no longer having stomach problems.

  • This check-in is for June 29th – July 5th.  I was still dealing with the stomach bug until Sunday.  Though I feel much better, and I’m walking more because of where my class is in relation to where I park, I’m not going to push myself to reach my goal.  As long as I do better than I did this past week, I’ll be happy.

  • This check-in is for June 22nd – 28th.  I don’t have much to say about this past week that I haven’t said for the past several, except I came down with a stomach bug over the weekend.  It’s still affecting me, so I’m probably not going to make my goal this week either.

#FitReaders Check-In #25

  • This check-in is for June 15th – 21st.  I got out and walked every day, but I didn’t come anywhere close to getting 8K steps any day of the week.  The weather, studying for my midterm exam, and being busy with other things all added up to me not making it to the gym or Hot Yoga, but I deliberately walked as much as I could.  I suppose that’s the important thing, right?

#FitReaders Check-In#24

  • This check-in is for June 8th – 14th.  After a couple mini-crises kept me from getting my steps at the beginning of the week, I said the hell with it and stopped actively trying to meet my goal.  I also wanted to read The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon during my free time more than I wanted to do anything else.  While I would usually take my book with me to read on the treadmill, The Fiery Cross is a brick of a mass market paperback that would have been uncomfortable to hold while walking.  It also would have gotten destroyed from sweat.
  • I’ve decided to put my goals next to what I accomplished in the hopes that it will help motivate me a bit more.

  • This check-in is for June 1st – 7th.  I was doing really well until the weekend and a paper I had to write.  To avoid this happening again, I’m going to walk to my school’s gym after class at least two days a week and spend an hour accumulating as many steps as I can before I go home.
  • I didn’t make it to any Hot Yoga classes this week either.

#FitReaders Check-In #22

  • This check-in is for May 25th – 31st.  I’m beginning to get frustrated with all the various events that have been interfering with getting my steps.  First, Monday was shot due to the torrential downpour that caused the parking lot at the apartment complex where I live to turn into a river.  While I did get a half-hour workout on both Tuesday and Thursday, as well as a Hot Yoga class on Wednesday, the rest of my week was ruined by several things.
  • Now that I’m back in class, I’ll be able to get much closer to my goal just by walking to and from campus every day.  My schedule is about to get insanely busy though, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to continue going to Hot Yoga, but I’m going to try.  I’m also going to attempt to find the time to make use of my university’s gym since it’s not likely to be too busy this time of year.
  • I’ve added my total active minutes as a part of my goal.  I’ll be working towards a minimum average of 30 active minutes a day.

#FitReaders Check-In #21

  • This check-in is for May 18th – 24th.  I know I said last week that I was making fitness a priority.  As I said yesterday in my Monday’s Minutes post, I had a large case of “I don’t want to do anything”, and that included making time for exercise. While the Boyfriend was off walking, I was gaming.  I did make it to a Hot Yoga class though.
  • Now that I spent some time being thoroughly lazy, I’m feeling considerably more productive, and I’m recommitting myself to reaching my goal of an average of 8K steps a day.
