Hello my friends. How has everyone been? Good I hope, making progress and making gains.
Let’s talk about the June progress or lack of progress. I posted my May progress with such excitement last month and I was full of hope for the my June results and then we got word that we would be heading back to the office and even though I wanted to be positive, I knew there was going to be a difficult road ahead.
My first two weeks back in the office were hectic. I had only been employed for a few weeks before we were sent home and everything I learned I learned how to do at home and now here I was internally freaking out because I didn’t know how to do my job in the office. Silly right? Everyone that works with me easily returned to the rhythm of the office before the pandemic. I sat with my mask on trying to remember how to answer and transfer calls. My stress was high and I had a few too many setbacks … mostly with the office vending machine.
My physical activity, healthy eating all slowed down to a crawl: June did exactly what I thought June would. Did I self-sabotage because I knew I was going back to the office and that would be my go-to excuse for why I didn’t do what I should have or did I naturally revert back to the old me?
My weight is my so far as of 7/5 I hit 265.4. My goal for the end of June was 265.
So, my weight is still dropping just not as much as it did in May. Almost 3 pounds and I’m happy with that. So what is on tap for July? Will I go with the flow or step back up to the plate?
I’m stepping up ready to fight!
There is something new pushing my motivation to be healthy. In 14 days (7/25) it will be my six-year anniversary and in 44 days (8/26) I will be flying to St. Lucia for my 43rd birthday. I married my husband weighing 250 pounds and it has been my goal to get back to or below 250 pounds. On this trip to St. Lucia, I really want to see 240- something pounds and maybe a more toned physique… Am I just wishful thinking?
I feel like I am becoming more and more obsessed with the scale, weighing myself multiple times a day and during the week, watching the numbers dance between 264 and 267 on any given day.
My work/life balance does play a big part in if I can achieve any goals. Waking up in the morning is difficult for me, but that appears to be the only time available for me to get my mind and body right, the rest of the day belongs to my husband, job, kids, household responsibilities, and my dog
With 3 weeks left in July would like to see 259 by August 1st. That’s a little over 2 pounds a week which I am told is very much achievable. My water intake is pretty good and with the exception of the vending machine trips my meals are ok, but with a little work, they could be better.
I would have like to have reported another 8-pound loss for June, but the 2.8 will have to work for now.
I want to take a moment to thank everyone that follows this blog. It means a lot to me, and it holds me accountable so thank you.
Until next time stay safe and good luck on your journey
