Can you guys believe it? June is almost halfway over! There are 6 official days until summer!
I for one, have definitely lost track of some of the goals that I set for myself this month, so I wanted to bring them back up and into action.
Goal #1: Run 3-5 times a week
Goal #2: Eat on track (1,300) calories
Goal #3: Cut out added sugars
Goal #4: 3-4 cups of green tea/day
Goal #5: Read two classics
Goal #6: Update blog regularly
Goal #7: Stop lamenting myself.
Ultimate Goal: Lose 10 lbs and be 235.7
Well, with about 15 days left in the month, I know that I'm not going to lose ten pounds by June 30th. I lost a week of clean eating and working out and set myself back, but it is okay. I am seeing a lot of progress and this journey is more about improving myself than anything else.
So far, I've definitely accomplished Goal #1 the most. I have started running more often and with more frequency and am definitely enjoying it a lot more than I once used to. I still am getting the hang of it, but I am at least trying to run.
On the other hand, goal number 2, 3 and 4 are the ones that I am accomplishing with the LEAST amount of frequency. I am going to cup with a solution for this, because cutting out added sugars, eating properly, and drinking more green tea are something that I've been trying to do for a while now.
I have worked on Goal #7 though. While, I'm not going to lie and say that there haven't been days (or a succession of days) where I've been unhappy with myself, I have started looking towards the positive more often than I did before. That's what matters, right?

So, with 16 days left in the month, I am going to re-start and re-check my goals. I'm going to cup with a list of solutions to help me 'solve' my goals.
Goal #1: Run 3-5 times a week.
- with work starting, I have been going to the gym far less regularly. I am either going to start packing my gym clothes with me and just going straight from work or keeping the clothes on the first floor of my house and going right to the basement and running.
Goal #2: Eat on track (1,300) calories
-This is something that has been a continuous challenge for me. On Sunday, I am going to try 'meal prepping' and only eating (for the entire week) what I prepare. I have to focus, and tell myself repeatedly that it's mind over matter with this one.
Goal #3: Cut out added sugars
- No plan for this one yet. I may have to put it on the back burner, to be honest.
Goal #4: 3-4 cups of green tea/day
- I am going to brew a jug of green tea that I keep in the fridge so I can drink it when I want.
I'm not going to be able to perfectly implement all 7 of my goals, but I'll be doing better than when I started if I keep it up with these 4.
It's crazy to think how time FLIES by.
The official countdown to the start of school is: 73 days!
