July Goals Recap

<p>Its been a while since <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2012/07/updates.html">I last posted</a>. 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. </p> <p>Lets recap those goals I set!</p> <p>1. workout 5 days/week – <font color="#ff0000">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. <strong><u>BUT</u></strong>…the other 2 1/2  weeks I was right on track got in my workout 5 days/week!</font> <p>2. attend every WW meeting – <font color="#ff0000">Check! This was a piece of cake for me…or should I say a piece of fruit! <img alt="Winking smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-winkingsmile" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCSAFGzad9wqq1XU17gG-rg2jgMI4IKnEULOnPBx410BPq50TSi6mIL0NzjxgbGVkakFxYdMhvn6A30D4o77jvHurUfgaTmukMmx3IhJ3YmaYY5ivJ72ZuXYrIlHOZcE9aKB2Rab6cUJiJ/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none"> Went to every meeting last month!</font> <p>3. Try 2 new recipes – <font color="#ff0000">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!</font> <p align="left"><font color="#000000">4. weigh 167 by 7.31.12 {lose 9 lbs}</font> – <font color="#ff0000">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!</font><font color="#ff0000"><img alt="Pinned Image" height="350" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/225461525064748820_3owuIGbw_c.jpg" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" width="350"></font><font size="1">(source: </font><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/225461525064748820/"><font size="1">pinterest</font></a><font size="1">)</font></p> <p>Remember my ultimate goal from my <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2012/07/updates.html">“Updates” post</a> 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!</p> <p><u>I'm going to continue to push myself</u>.</p> <p>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<strong><u> tracking is key</u></strong>!</p> <p>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!</p>
