My Wellness Journey- August 2023 Update

I feel like last month was a bit much for me. It really does get to me when people notice my weight gain and have to comment on it. I am aware of my appearance now and just having others bring it to my attention just makes me feel a certain way. I know this weight isn’t going to drop off instantly, it is going to take some time but it just got to me a bit. It also didn’t help when I stepped on the scale and saw how much I weigh now, it was a bit alarming to me.

Anyway, this month was pretty good. I made it a point to walk everyday (weather permitting) and get in a mile or two. It felt good to track my steps and see how long it takes me to walk mile or so. As for the rest of the month….

Being More Active

Working Out 2-3 times a week -didn’t do too much of this

Stretching Everyday – started off strong but fell off by the end of the month

Taking more walks – definitely did this and proud of myself

Learn A Dance From A Music Video (trying to decide which one lol) – didn’t even do this lol, I couldn’t decide what to attempt to learn but will save this for next month

Eating Better

Meal Prepping – this was a fail, didn’t even try

More Fruits and Veggies – I did buy more fruits and veggies but need to eat them before they go bad lol.

Less Coffee, More Tea – I started drinking more tea but that coffee is needed sometimes

Limit Bread and Pasta – I did pretty well with this one, want to continue with limiting it

More Water – I kept up with my water intake, some days were better than others but still drank water almost everyday

Not too bad this month, I know I need to really work on making time for working out and being more active. I’ll have my goals up for September on Thursday and feel like I need to scale back on what I’m trying to do and focus on the more important things.
