#FitReaders: Weekly Check-in March 18

 

#FitReaders is hosted by Geeky Bloggers Book Blog  and That’s What I’m Talking About

    

 

The week started out good, but then between having a huge bid due Thursday and coming down with a cold, it didn’t end quite as well as I hoped! Oh well…these things happen. I might have to stick with just walking and light yoga until I’m done with the cold – I’m so congested that trying to do that Bootcamp Body Workout is just too tough right now. Hopefully the cold will pass quickly – lots of fluids and sleep on my agenda!

 

Here’s how my week went: 

 
 

Mar 12:  10,959 steps (25 minute fitness walk; 15 minute Yoga workout)
Mar 13:  7,784 steps
Mar 14:  15,008 steps
(5K- 4.15 Charity miles for Girls on Run; Bootcamp Body Workout)

Mar 15:  10,656 steps (15 minutes Yoga workout)
Mar 16:  7,510 steps

Mar 17: 6,630 steps

Mar 18:  13,036 steps

 

Audiobooks listened to this week: 

  • Started Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, narrated by Emma Messenger – almost done 🙂

      It's so easy – it's just an app on my phone that I turn on when I walk – and it tracks my walk and then donates so many cents per mile…easy peasy and a great way to give back while walking! Georgia had mentioned something about it on Facebook a while back. I do Girls on the Run b/c my niece is part of a club that they organize.

    Wow you did so many 5Ks in the last 3 months! And a 10K? That's amazing! It is hard to do anything with a cold. Makes it hard to breath. Hope you feel better soon.

    I hope you're enjoying Jane Eyre. The narrator can make a world of difference. It took me a long time to read it way back when because the common English language used so many different words than we do now. I had to look up so many in the dictionary. I'm having a tough time with Jane Steele. Let's hope it improves.

    Great job with your steps and workouts, Kristin! I'm loving the #FitReaders community! Thanks for visiting my post at The Readers Den. 🙂

      Thanks Rachel! I did most of those 5k's at the gym on the treadmill – can't wait for it to get warmer out so I can start walking outdoors again!

      I really am liking Jane Eyre – the narrator is great! I've heard mixed things about Jane Steele – but I'm willing to give it a go.

      So glad to have you a part of the #FitReader's group – it really is a great group – so motivating and fun!!!

      Good to hear! I'm going to put Jane Steele down as a DNF. I can't take it anymore. I hope you like it. My friend gave it 5 stars, so you might love it. 🙂

      I am part of FitBit. I didn't know you could do weekly challenges. I have my daily goal set but didn't look beyond that, lol. I'll see about friending you through email.

    Colds are the worst! I hope you feel better soon. Nice job with your steps though.

    I will have to check out that Jane Eyre audio book. I love Jane Eyre. I'm curious about Jane Steele. I've read Jane Slayre which I thought was a fun reimagining of Jane Eyre as a vampire slayer. It is a little harder to imagine her as a serial killer!

    Ugh! I hope you feel better soon! Great job on the steps, tho!

    I never liked Jane Eyre. Hope you enjoyed it!
