Today was my last weigh in for this month, and I LOST exactly 10 pounds (I had a .4 ounce gain, and I know it's from my period, so it's no big deal to me).
July has been my best month yet!!
Tomorrow I am taking my measurements since it's the last day in the month, and the the day after that is August 1st! So my 30 day challenge will begin very shortly. I printed off my 30 day calendars and hung them on the back of my bedroom door so that I always look at them as a reminder that things need to get done!
Of course I would like to see another 10 pound loss for the month of August, but this month like I said before, I am really focusing more on the numbers when it comes to the exercise. I have to make exercise a part of my life. I don't have a choice. It has to be done. It's a necessity for me if I am ever going to get this weight off. The only problem I face with exercising, is it increasing my metabolism and my want to eat because of an increased appetite. I'm not so much going to be counting calories. I am just going to use common sense, and make better choices instead of sitting down for Pizza and wings like the family ordered last night, I'll make myself a salad and grill some chicken or something. It has to be something SENSIBLE.
One goal I also have for the month is that if it lasts for longer than a week, I probably shouldn't eat it. I'm going to go with fresh veggies, and fruits and fill up on those instead of filling up on boxed pastas and pre-packaged frozen dinners which generally have tons of preservatives and tons of sodium in them.
I also need to drink more water. Plain ol' water. I drink a lot, but here lately I've been drinking regular ginger ale like crazy, but I think it's because it settles my stomach when I don't feel well.
Im so happy about my 10 pound loss! It's time to keep this up!
Huge well done ont eh 10lbs loss! That's great! Keep it up & look forward to hearing about the challenge! x
