Sunday Check Ins - starting May 18 2025

Hi there. I'm putting a post out mainly for myself, but anyone can join in. This is my Sunday check in on the START of what will be a long journey for me. I've gained quite a bit of weight as I hit menopause and I'm damned determined to be comfortable in my skin again and be strong into my senior years.

I'm 55 yrs old, work from home at a computer (ugh) and I live in Maine (ugh - long winters), so staying fit is a challenge for me. My first goal is 170lbs and having my EXISTING clothing not squeezing me like a sausage!

Weight today:

  • 199.2 (ahhhhh!)

Exercise this week:

  • Monday - missed the workout!!!
  • Wednesday - Caroline Girvan 30 min full body w/dumbells (ouch)
  • Friday - Caroline Girvan 30 min full body w/dumbells
  • Sunday - Caroline Girvan 30 min cardio (oh the pain!)

I have been working out 3 days a week to work up to this for the last 3 weeks and this is the week that I finally was brave enough to weigh in and I am starting on Monday with a full program that this generous youtuber offers (one of many!)

Starting the FUEL workout tomorrow and checking in on Sundays with weight and exercises, I may add more to the check in.

Starting tracking on myfitnesspal for accountability on food - working to up my protein and lower the carbs.

Join me if you like - I am determined to use this post to keep me motivated and I'd love some company!
