Since I won’t be weighing myself in April, I need different ways to measure and track my progress. I am also transitioning into intuitive eating.
Diet
- ~1700 calories/day, more on intense workout days. Guesstimate ~500 calories per meal + snack.
- Eat breakfast every morning. Even if it’s something small because I overslept. I recently started having issues with this due to sleeping in too late and rushing to class.
- Try to eat meals at the same time each day.
- Maintain estimated balance: 50% carb, 20% fat, 30% protein.
- Meal plan: 1/2-1c grain carb, 4oz-6oz meat protein, serving of veggies/fruit.
- Eat more veggies containing fiber (ie: broccoli)
- Eat more variety
Fitness
- Mile time < 10:00min
- Be able to run 2 miles non-stop
- More push ups, pull ups, arm, ab, back, chest, strength exercises.
- Complete jumping jack challenge (maybe)
- Increase weight lifting weights
Personal
- Lose ~5lbs (03/31: 142.4)
- Fit into new Paris Blues jeans loosely
- No skin picking. Ever.
- Clean out closet to give to goodwill
- Finish all calc hw and quizzes this month
- Go to gym during peak hours, go to bed sooner. ~8hrs sleep/night
- Figure out the situation with V. FML he’s back in my life.
- Register for summer classes.
- Start studying for chem—take placement test
- CAR INSURANCE QUOTES
- Upgraded insurance plan that expires at the end of the month: Buy new frames and contacts, visit dermatologist for scars, see a gyno for check up (never had one), general doctor checkup (long overdue), consult with a dentist about my wisdom teeth.
- Dry cleaning. Dry cleaning. Dry cleaning.
- Stick to natural cleansers. Stop using “acne” cleaners/moisturizers/etc.

- 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. :)

Health/Fitness
- I didn’t lose the 5lbs I wanted to. But I did lose 4!!! And I’m really close to losing that 5th pound. (: June had 4 weeks in it, roughly. Which equates to about a lb a week. Awesome.
- I didn’t complete level 1 of the 30DS. Towards the end of the month I got pretty busy socially and with work. Things just came up. But enough with excuses. I have 2 more days left on that level, so I plan on making them up in July. (:
- I did not finish my 1200 minute exercise challenge. I came like a little over 200min short. In the beginning I knew I probably wouldn’t meet it because I cut my swim time. But I did complete 975 minutes of it!! And honestly, probably a bit more than that because there were some workouts where I didn’t count time for lifting and warm ups/cool downs. (: My next challenge will be my normal 1000min one. That seems good for me.
- Posture….. errrr… I still sit horribly hahaa.
- Stretching… YUP! I stretch a lot now. After every workout. I never used to do that. My flexibility has definitely improved some.
- Toning… yup incorporated more of that.
- Limit swimming… did that.
- Jogging… nope! Not even going to try, honestly. Too hard on my knees.
Diet
- Never brought lunch to work hahaa. Still waiting on that fridge, grrr. But I have been eating cheaper. Wendy’s and this Russian place…
- 100-120g of protein daily… yup did that for the most part.
- Blueberries…. ehhh I was good the first 2 1/2 weeks and then kind slacked with this.
- Multi-vitamin daily… I stopped taking it daily because it upset my stomach. So now I take it every couple of days.
- 400-500 cal breakfast …. yes for the most part. (:
- And the rest I’ve completed too for the most part.
Personal
- Didn’t go to youth at all.. lmfao. Oops. No time. If I don’t go to the gym on Sunday, then I can’t skip on Tuesday :(
- I FIT INTO MY SKINNY F21 JEANS!! YAYYY
- Not really sure how much less I spend on eating out.. but I mostly only eat out at lunch during work.
- I was good with the bedtime thing for the first 2 weeks.. then kinda… slipped. LOL.
Overall it has been a good month. I think I definitely made really good progress in general. It’s not that meeting a specific goal is soooo important. What’s important is the permanent lifestyle change that is results in. And I think a bunch of my old habits have definitely changed for the better this month. I’m set in a good routine and I enjoy it.
Looking forward to July!
