Took a long break
I have done very little over the last 2 months. After Princess weekend I stopped doing everything related to my health and fitness. I set my goals but quickly starting making excuses and poor choices. Work, school, children, husband and construction have been by go to excuses.
April 23rd I went dress shopping for my daughter's graduation. We were able to find a few options for dresses but I know that I feel better in them if I lost 10 pounds. Now I have something on my calendar to keep me motivated.
I pulled up my goals from my last post and took some time to reflect. Looks like it's time for some new goals.
May goals
1. Purchase a new gallon water jug. Tomorrow my jug will arrive.
2. Decrease my calorie intake to 1200 by logging into My Fitness Pal daily.
3. Weekly attend 3 session of aquatic exercise.
My son has taken on the job of holding me accountable with the new goals. Let's kiss these old goals good-bye and start fresh tomorrow.
***I have been logging my daily calories and attending class since April 23rd
April goals
- Weekly meal planning
- Weekly breakfast meal prep
March goals
- Log all food and drink into my fitness pal
- Decrease soda intake - currently drinking up to 120 fluid ounces of Diet Dr. Pepper a day
- Increase water intake
- Eat something for breakfast every day - important since I'm now taking morning medications
