Let’s take July out with a big LOSS!!! What?
That’s right! I lost this week!
So to recap, I had a .2 gain last week, which didn’t upset me, I totally earned it and thankfully was still mindful enough to not go too far off track.
But this week, I had some goals. Let’s see how I did on those goals.
Movement:
9,000 steps daily (yes, daily.) – AND DONE! I worked my butt off to get over 9,000 steps each day last week! Super proud of those steps:
At least one workout video or swim session daily (not just me stepping right before bed to get my numbers, an actual workout.) – AND DONE – So I did a thing.. I joined BeachBody On Demand for a two week free trial! I’ve been wanting to try some of the workouts for awhile and this goal made it seem like the perfect time! I started with 21 Day Fix Real Time, And I’ve even done a Yoga session with my daughter (I don’t do Yoga, it was my first time, and I really hated it, but I will continue to try it when it comes up on my daily workout.
I will probably go ahead and subscribe for the year for BeachBody, there are a lot of great programs I’d like to do. I am ONLY using BB for workouts, I am not using their nutrition, I’m still HAPPY with my iTrackBites app.
Water
Drink AT LEAST 3 of my 40 ounce hydro flasks full of water EVERY DAY. At least, could be more. – Ok so the update on this one, is I did this five of the 7 days. I could improve on the weekends. BUT, I still managed to improved from what I was doing so YAY ME!
Food
Well, make better choices, that’s for sure – I made better choices! I opted for more protein, less carbs for my lunches and dinner, and I even found I am loving a little JELLO at night with some whipped cream for a super LOW point dessert! I am unable to do sugar free Jello, so I have to go all in, and it’s only 2 points for half a cup! Awesome little treat and super refreshing for the summer!
Eat less red meat (I had a lot of hamburger, carne asada, and steak this last week.) 5/7 days I did either no meat or chicken or pork. Only two days I had beef. A win!
Track daily no matter what – Yes yes and yes! I tracked no matter what, every morsel even if I went over on my points for the day, and I had 1 weekly remaining at the end of the week. I was completely honest.
Smoothies – at least three this week. – I think I fell short on this one by one. I had two. Any I only had two because I think my yogurt was a bit questionable and kept forgetting to grab it at the store.
This weeks weigh in was exciting, a 2.2 pound LOSS!!!!
So my first week on Beach Body was a success, pushing myself to track properly, and get that movement and water in…WORKED!
So my stats so far:
- Loss this week = -2.2
- Loss since June 1st = -17.80
- Total loss so far = 29.8 (almost down 30 lbs!!)
| Measurements | Loss? |
| Upper Arms | -0.5 |
| Thighs | 0 |
| Calves | -0.5 |
| Bust | -1.5 |
| Under Bust | -1.25 |
| Hips | -0.25 |
| Waist | -1 |
| Neck | 0 |
| Total Loss: | -5 inches! |
A 2 pound loss and five more inches gone (from 2 weeks ago.)
Total inches since June 1st = -20.25 inches
A successful week of work. I will continue my daily Beach Body workouts, I will push myself when I’m uncomfortable, I will track and make better food choices.
What about you? How did you do? Loss, gain, maintain? How did you feel this week about that? Anything you would like to do different this coming week? Anything new you want to try?
