July Goals Revisited

Healthy/Fitness

Didn’t quite get to the 20lb loss mark. But I was like 0.6lbs away! So close. By Friday’s weigh in I’m pretty certain I’ll be at that mark.
Didn’t even do 30DS Level 2. At all. Oops lol. I did finish Level 1 this month though. It’s because the first 10 days of July, I did not workout at all. So that was my mistake.
Only completely 520 minutes of my 1000min exercise challenge. Eep.
Have been working more on my core and back, and on my posture. :)
I’ve been taking the time to really stretch out my muscles, especially my legs. My hamstrings are so tight. But I’ve definitely seen improvements in my flexibility.
Incorporate more toning… yes. Been strength training more.
Definitely limited my swims to a max of 90 min. And started doing HIIT swimming. LOVE IT.
Squats… I’m able to get my thighs parallel to the floor. But IDK if I’m doing it with proper form since I lean forward big time and I don’t think you’re supposed to do that. I’m going to meet with a training and ask them to teach me.

Diet

I think my protein intake has been pretty good. I haven’t been strict about getting the 100g. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. But I’ve been okay with that.
Blueberries…. I was great the first 2-3 weeks. But then my parents stopped buying blueberries. And they’re expensive! But I’ve been eating other fruits and veggies for my fiber.
1oz almonds…. ehh haven’t been eating as much lately. I rely more on peanut butter now. So if I eat PB toast, I try not to have any more nuts for the day.
Stopped taking my One A Day due to stomach cramps. When I buy a gentler vitamin I’ll definitely be taking it daily.
I’ve been good with eating the bulk of my calories for breakfast.
Been good with limiting sugar and sodium with homemade foods.. except I’ve been going out too much so a bit too much sodium in that department.
Been REALLY good with my calorie intakes. :)

Personal

I’ve gone to youth at least twice this month, I think.
Definitely been going out a lot more and I don’t mind taking pictures. Not really too outgoing though. Just more talkative if I have something to say.
Been spending too much money.. ugh. I have a problem ahah.
Been pretty good with getting to be by 12:30 most nights.
I need to do a huge before school cleaning of my entire room and my car.. and everything really. I’m just too lazy.
Ehhh… I still dress too casually. I think once I get skinny and buy a new wardrobe that will change.

Overall.. it has been a pretty good month. It has been easy to stick with my weight loss. Can’t wait for August. :)
