July Weight
July Calories, Fat Grams, Carbs and Protein
So i'm doing pretty good on weight and protein as far as staying consistent. Fat isn't bad either. However... carbs and calories are all over the place. This month i'm going to continue working on tracking BEFOREHAND and STICKING WITH IT. I can do it if I plan it! (that's what I always say!) :)
A Look Back: July Goals
1. Keep calories around 1,700 5 days/week. Um, not even kind of! I’m starting to think this is unrealistic for me during the week because I need more once you factor in exercise, and on the weekend once you factor in alcohol. So… I’m saying Keep calories under 1,850 on days when I work out and 2,300 when I drink (1 day a week; 2 at most).
2. Walk 100 miles. DONE I felt great getting in all of these miles, but I want to cut it back some for August to make SURE not matter what I do my strength training.
3. Do strength training 3 days/week. DONE I’m going to say not totally done, but I did get it in regularly the last half AND I developed a detailed plan that I’m pretty pumped about.
4. Introduce 10 new recipes. DONE I actually ended up making…TWENTY SEVEN. Oh my…. I knew I was on a roll but dang – how exciting! Out of the 27, two were fails. Sad. But still, that’s 25 new recipes that we’re fans of – everything from Pesto Chicken Rolls to Herbed Greek Chicken Salad.
5. Update the home blog 4 days/week AND fitting back in 4 days/week. The home blog was a fail. For sure – there’s just not enough to say! Fittingbackin I was ALL OVER – woo – ending up at 25 posts. Yay! I’m going to say DONE.
6. Read 3 books. DONE I read 3 Karin Slaughter books – Blindsighted, Kisscut and Indelible. ALL AMAZING. I’m obsessed with her books – they’re just amazing mysteries. Love, love them!
7. Get dining room painted; hang fan in guest room; install lights in hallway upstairs. We got the fan done – but the lights and dining room are all for August!
8. Get an HRM. DONE Thanks to my awesome husband Austin who got me a Polar F7 for my birthday!! I just love it. Words can’t describe. hehe
9. Research CFW ideas. This didn’t happen (probably because I was so dang busy worrying about cooking 27 recipes haha). So I’m ON IT… in September. I’m just not focused here!
10. Take measurements every Thursday! This just doesn’t work – I don’t THINK about it! So I think I’m going to shoot for once a month – the DAY I do my assessment I must measure.
A Look Ahead: August Goals
1. Keep calories under 1,850 on days when I work out and 2,300 when I drink (1 day a week; 2 at most).
2. Walk 84 miles (I’m back on track – no need for 100!)
3. Do strength training 3 days/week.
4. Do abs 3 days/week.
5. Decide whether or not to hire the trainer.

What are your goals this month? I’m excited – but only have 21 days left to do this stuff – eek! I should make a goal to assess August on September 1 instead of September 10! Hehe. I’ll post Saturday and Sunday tomorrow morning – woo!
