#FitReaders Weekly Check In (6)

#FitReaders is hosted by The Geeky Blogger and That's What I'm Talking About.

Hey y'all! This is my first #FitReaders checkin in months but I'm glad to be back! I had a really good week. I jogged on the treadmill 3 days for 40 minutes and then did the 30 Day Shred Level 2 on the other 2 days. I've actually done really well at consistently working out five days a week for the past two months or so.

My eating this week was spot on. Even when we had pizza at work yesterday, I still managed to stay within my allotted MyFitnessPal calories. I had a terrible week last week so I'm really trying to get back on track. I know next week will be tough (there are a lot of food related events next week) but I will do the best I can.

I got on the scale this morning and while I was sad that I hadn't lost any weight, I didn't gain either which is good considering how many bad eating days I had last week. I'm still at 7 pounds lost but I really want to lose 5 more so that I can get back to my fighting weight.

My goals for next week are to keep up the good work in regards to exercise and to make the best food choices I can. I'm hoping to move up to Level 3 of the 30 Day Shred so we'll see how that goes.

With regards to reading, I finished The Distant Hours by Kate Morton this week and am currently reading Who Do You Love? by Jennifer Weiner and Academically Adrift by Richard Arum.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over

Top Ten Books I Recommend The Most

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic: Top Ten Books I Recommend the Most 1.) The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons 2.) Outlander by Diana Gabaldon If you read my blog at all, you know I love these two books so much! I am not afraid to suggest them to anyone who I think might enjoy them. 3.) The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - I was definitely recommending this book left and right when the first movie came out. 4.) The Fault in Our Stars by John Green 5.) A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin These are two books that I just recently started recommending but they are books that can appeal to anyone so they are easy picks when someone asks for a recommendation. 6.) Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead - I get a little embarrassed when I recommend this book to people but seriously, just because it has vampires does not mean it is like Twilight. 7.) The Giver by Lois
