January 22, 2020January 22, 2020 by Carol2 Comments

I did not do so great with my goals this week. FitReaders is hosted by Geeky Bloggers Book Blog and That’s What I’m Talking About. The hashtag is #FitReaders. Goals for 2020: Lose 12 poundsGet back to being able to run 3-5 milesEat more plant-based, whole-food meals – probably will do this more intentionally next month. With Amber home it’s not the easiest thing to do. Goals for January: 8,000 steps, 5 days per week – 6/7 Exercise at least 30 minutes, 5 days per week – 0Keep a food log – 5/7 (this week I’ll try harder to stay under my calorie count) Drink 6 glasses of water a day, 7 days a week – Totally forgot to track this. What I need to do is make exercise a priority on my calendar, but I have tons of excuses - it's cold out, I should hang out with Amber while she's home, I need to practice......

Fit Readers – 1/7

It's time to get back into some kind of shape. Lose weight, get back to the gym or workout at home, eat better. Hmmm, seems like I have the same goals every year. So it's time for some accountability. In theory, I'll post my goal progress and any highlights here once a week or so.

#ReadersWorkouts #FitReaders 7/26

July 26, 2016July 26, 2016 by Carol2 Comments

Here are my steps for the week. I actually averaged over my goal of 9,000 steps a day. My current plan is to do cardio on Tuesday (60 mins), upper body on Wednesday, cardio on Thursday (60 mins), a total body workout on Friday, cardio on Saturday (60+ mins), and a core workout on Monday. I'm also trying to do a 10 minute-ish Pilates workout each day. I'm failing miserably at my plan though. Wednesday - Walk with the dog Thursday - 10 mins Pilates booty Saturday - 8 mins Pilates arms Sunday - 20 mins stair machine. 40 minutes elliptical. 9 mins Pilates legs. I usually listen to a book while I'm walking, jogging, whatever. This week I finished The Sans Pareil Mystery by Karen Charlton and started A Midsummer’s Equation by Keigo Higashino. My new goal (which shouldn't really have to be a goal at all, but I have a bit of a sweet tooth) is to avoid snacking. Planned snacks, like going out to ice cream as...

Here are my steps for the week. I didn't make my goal of 9,000 steps a day, but considering how busy my week was, I'm not too disappointed. I am totally blowing this summer. My current plan is to do cardio on Tuesday (60 mins), upper body on Wednesday, cardio on Thursday (60 mins), a total body workout on Friday, cardio on Saturday (60+ mins), and a core workout on Monday. I'm also trying to do a 10 minute-ish Pilates workout each day. I'm failing miserably at my plan though. Tuesday - Wednesday - I worked til 5 and then went straight to VBS and didn't get home until 9-ish, so I got nothing done Thursday - After work, Amber and I went straight to Pittsburgh for a lecture by David Sibley, so no time to workout Friday-Sunday - We were at the lake. We did some fishing and some walking, but nothing that could really count as exercise. Monday - 60 mins elliptical I usually listen to a book...
