I don‘t have a Fitbit, but I do have Pokemongo! 😆
I haven‘t tallied up my points yet, but here are my week one results.
Walking: I did walk at least three times this week so I did hit my goal. I would like to exceed the goal in future weeks but it‘s a good start.
Yoga: I missed a few days. But again, a good start!
Alcohol: None! And no sugary drinks either!
Books: Finished one book and got about halfway through an audiobook and a new book.

First book down for the #bookfitnesschallenge!

I love all of Willy Vlautin‘s books, but be warned that all of them will make you cry. They‘re all about good people in seemingly hopeless situations, but it‘s worth seeing it through to the end every time.
“I know we‘re all tired. But the main thing to do when you‘re tired is to remember to be nice. Remember to be kind...”

alisiakae I like that quote. 😊 5y

Two miles and one chapter this morning. Also, I never posted my goals! Fitness: Walk three times a week, yoga every day, and reduce alcohol consumption. Reading: read/listen to ten books. I did modify my fitness goals—Originally I set a weight loss goal but behavior is more controllable than weight. The goals I chose are something I‘ve been working on for awhile but maybe the #bookfitnesschallenge will motivate me to actually achieve them!

wanderinglynn Weight loss will be a result, so you‘re right that focusing on behaviors is more important. 👍🏻 Great goals! 🙌🏻 5y
marleed Well said! 5y
Marina_h The right behaviour will often result in weight loss so you're focus and goals sounds just right! 5y

Caterina Great goals, and good luck! It's definitely easier for me not to get discouraged when I focus on behaviors instead of results. 👍 5y

I‘ve been MIA from Litsy for far too long, so I am very excited that I reunited with the platform in time to sign up for the #bookfitnesschallenge! Thought I should download some audiobooks from the library to listen to during my new daily walk. Any opinions on which one I should start first?

Clwojick I have all three, and haven‘t read any of them yet 🙈 Can‘t wait to see which one you choose first and how you like them. 5y

Took a break for lunch and exercise with an audiobook. I couldn't resist when I realized Neil Gaiman himself was the narrator. #readathon

I'm too immersed in The Shadow of the Wind right now to crack these open, but I did pick up some short fiction options from the library in case I needed a break from longer books. Which one do you think I should read for the #readathon?

You're never too young for poetry! I read this great book in story-time for National Poetry Month and it was a big hit. Rave reviews included:
"Hey, he looks like me!
"That's a really pretty book"
and "I really like this one!"
