Interesting Charts
May Weight
May Calories
This was a hard month for me – not gonna lie! (nor does the yo-yo calorie chart above!) It was the first month I gained. Granted, I’d gotten below goal weight, but STILL, I gained. Also, it was a super busy month for me – still didn’t hit my mileage goals. I’m just having a tough time figuring out how much I should eat/how much I should work out/etc. :( I heard it would be hard to maintain and it IS! I’m really considering the HRM and moving to more healthy, whole foods.
A Look Back: May Goals
1. Have 7 or less days over 1,700 calories. This was a toughie- I feel like my caloric ceiling has been a moving target. I just honestly seem to need more than 1,700. Never thought I’d say that but it’s true!! I’m trying to figure it out. Bear with me.
2. Weigh 113 or less 20 days this month. This was tough too. I only weighed 113 or less 11 days this month.
3. Walk 100 miles. Didn’t happen at all! I’m going to catch up somehow but it definitely wasn’t in May! I was shy 24.5 miles.
4. Do strength training 3 days/week (day 1: chest/tris; day 2: abs/legs; day 3: back, bis, shoulders). Nope – didn’t happen. I definitely made more of an effort, but it STILL didn’t happen.
5. Introduce 4 new recipes. DONE This definitely happened – I was a recipe-making machine in May!
6. Update the home blog 4 days/week AND fitting back in 5 days/week. Home blog yes, Fittingbackin – no. I’m working on it! Did I ever give you guys the link to the home blog??
7. Read 1 book and 3 home décor magazines. DONE
8. Organize 2 weeks of meal plans; print them out and make grocery lists of each. DONE
9. Finish both guest rooms and the scrapbook room (paint shutter; paint chair; get new hardware; hang stuff!) DONE
10. Take measurements! I want to start taking measurements every Thursday morning. No Excuses! 1st and 15th just wasn’t working – I never know what the date is! I forgot a lot…. Will work on this!
I knew this would be a tough month (reading back to last month) and I was right. I think it was a time thing – I just couldn’t get in the ST, all of the miles – even blogging! But some was just straight up forgetfulness, like taking measurements. Sigh. I’m not necessarily disappointed in this month, but I certainly don’t think it was my best.
A Look Ahead: June Goals
It’s a little hard to do these seeing as how I SUCK and am just now getting to it 1/3 of the way in, but let’s see!
1. Figure out how many calories I need. Experiment – try to stay around 1,750 to 1,850.
2. Walk 100 miles!!!
3. Do strength training 3 days/week
4. Introduce 3 new recipes and 3 new healthy, whole snacks.
5. Update the home blog 4 days/week AND fitting back in 4 days/week
6. Read 2 books.

8. Research HRMs – maybe get one – and research CFW ideas.

I’m going to drop these in the sidebar! Some seem aggressive for me, but I really feel like this is going to be a ‘prepare’ month – getting my ducks in a row on how many calories I need, looking into things like HRMs and figuring out this whole/healthy snack thing and pondering plans for a CFW. Anyway – I’m excited to get organized and hopefully make July – the month I turn twenty freaking seven (where did the time go?) – a great month!!
