Its been a while since I last posted. But don’t think that means I was slacking off! Nope, I buckled down and I’m proud of what I accomplished in the month of July.
Lets recap those goals I set!
1. workout 5 days/week – I didn’t quite make this goal. The week of July 23rd I got the stomach bug and was out of commission for 2 days & then we went to Chicago for 3 days and I only worked out once that week. BUT…the other 2 1/2 weeks I was right on track got in my workout 5 days/week!
2. attend every WW meeting – Check! This was a piece of cake for me…or should I say a piece of fruit! 
3. Try 2 new recipes – Check! I tried two new recipes from emilybites.com {LOVE her blog!} – Cheesy Taco Pasta & Bubble Up Enchilada {with black beans}. Yes I’ve had Bubble Up enchiladas many a time, but never with black beans, so I’m counting that!
4. weigh 167 by 7.31.12 {lose 9 lbs} – Didn’t quite hit this goal, but I am SO proud to say that I did make it to 168.6 by the end of the month, so excited to say goodbye to those 170s. I know that losing 9 lbs in 3 1/2 weeks was a lofty goal. I feel that I pushed myself and I’m proud of those 7.4lbs!

Remember my ultimate goal from my “Updates” post a few weeks ago? I want to be 150lbs by November 1st. So if you crunch the numbers from where I’m at now, that’s 13 weeks to lose 18.6lbs, average of 1.43lbs/week. Totally doable!
I'm going to continue to push myself.
Until this last week I was just estimating my daily intake in my head(points/calories), but Sunday I started tracking EVERYTHING {app on my blackberry} and I can tell what a difference it’s made! Just goes to show tracking is key!
Lastly, but certainly not least, I have to thank you guys for kind words and sweet comments on my post requesting your support! This blog world is an amazing tool & I’m so thankful for all of you!
