#FitReaders Weekly Check In (11)

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

Ugh! This has been a bad week for me when it comes to exercise. I am doing a check in for the last weeks; last week was great, this week not so much. Last week, I got in 5 workouts- 3 runs (about 30 minutes each) and 2 sessions of 'Ripped in 30'. This week my daughter started having sleep issues and we're trying to get ready for company so I only got in 3 30 minute runs. I did finish week 5 of Couch 2 5K and the last run was HARD but I am proud of myself for doing it. I had to run for 20 minutes straight; this used to be nothing for me but since I'm pretty much out of shape, it was super rough.

I'm hoping to get back on track next week with at least 5 workouts (preferably 6) per week and get back to using My Fitness Pal to track what I'm eating. My clothes are getting tight so I really need to get on top of monitoring my food intake.

I'm definitely going to commit to regular exercise for the month of July. I think overall, I did a good job of making exercise a priority in June (with the exception of this week) and I'm hoping to keep up with it for July (and maybe actually lose some weight!).

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

Book Blog Hop (11)

The Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jen at Crazy for Books . It's a way to meet other bloggers and check out some cool new blogs. This week's question is: "Highlight one book you have received this week that you can't wait to dig into!" Okay, I have a confession to make. I have been so busy this week that I have not had time to get any new books. I have several waiting for me at the library but I won't be able to pick them up until this weekend. : ( Did you all get any exciting new books this week?
