May progress, June goals

Friday, June 01, 2012

So one of the things I do every month, at least when I'm focused on getting to goal, is to measure my hips, waist, and thighs. I weigh every day, and make sure that I do on the 1st as well. The measurements help me see progress I may not normally be aware of.

This month, my thigh measurement is the same (26 inches), but I lost 2 inches in my waist and 1/2 inch in my hips. I was disappointed to be back at 186 this morning, but when I went back to May 1st, I'm down 3 pounds since then. Definitely not the progress I'd hoped for, but better than nothing, right?

So my June goals:
* Continue to work out consistently, 6 days a week. Increase intensity, especially with total body workout.
* Stay in my calorie range most days
* NOT BLOW IT ON WEEKENDS. This is my toughest one, for sure.

I already figure that Vegas will be tough with eating. All I can do there is do my best and try to find the healthiest options I can find. We'll see how that goes. The hotel has a workout room, so I plan to be in it each day. I want to get in a run on Thursday before we go, then make sure I workout Friday and Saturday. Possibly Sunday before we come home, but we'll see how that one goes.

I want to see better progress in June! I won't have the stresses of school, so hopefully I can stay focused during the day and not lose it on the weekends. That's where my biggest setbacks seem to happen.

    My suggestions while in Vegas: stick to buffets. They have pretty awesome salad baars you can eat very good at and whoever you are with can eat whatever they want to. Any other meals, portion control. Good job on your goals! I think I'm going to check measurements on Monday to see if there is any change.

    I like using my measurements to gauge my progress as well. It's interesting that your thigh measurements didn't change. I have the same issue. Everything else will shrink but they remain the same even if they're more toned. Good luck on the rest of your journey.
