Another Month of Weight

Wow this past month has flown by, but I can’t say that about those extra pounds. The last time I check in with you I had 8lbs to go.  This past month I only lost 3lbs.  A lost is a lost right, but it wasn’t what I was hoping to achieve.  

Previous Goal Check-In

-Reduce calorie intake and start counting calories using MyFitnessPal.

• I’ve been pretty good about staying on top of tracking my calories and staying within my daily allotment, but there was a week I didn’t do to well. There were several celebrations and parties.  I need to better prepare myself for facing those types of situations, especially when I don’t know what the calories might be.

-Be consistent at doing my transverse abdominal exercises I read about in the book, Lose Your Mummy’s Tummy.

• I slacked off in this area too.  I did do some of the exercises, while sitting at stop lights.  I got that idea from Peak313. Other than that, they rarely happened.

-Drink a gallon of water a day.

• I did this for a few days.  It is so hard to remember to drink water.  I was lucky if I got in 8 glasses, let alone a gallon!

No New Goals

I’ve got to stay on top of these goals before throwing another one in. 

Overall, I started drifting this month.  I need to get back on the saddle as they say.  Here’s hoping next month is better.
