August is going to be a weird month for me. It's almost like a split month. We are going on vacation in the first half of the month, then we come home and the boys go back to school. So the second half of the month will be more structured and on our normal schedule. I'm looking at this month as a transition month. I'll finish up the fun of the summer and then start to get used to the busy schedule of fall. I'm happy with where I am so far this year and plan to finish this year strong! Same as I did last month, I will talk a little about how I did with each of the 10 goals last month and then talk about my plans for August to stay on track.
1. Lose 50 pounds (Lost 10 pounds this year, Grade for July: A)
- Meal plan each Sunday - I did this every week and wrote 4 posts
- Count calories for 15 days this month - I was actually able to do this 16 days this month! The other half of the month wasn't great but it wasn't as bad as it could have been either.
- Go to one class each week that I am not teaching - I went to a Zumba jam, Katherine's Zumba class, and I taught 2 barre classes. I didn't get to as many classes as I hoped but I also taught a lot more this month than I realized I was when I set this goal.
- Maintain my current weight - I was able to do this for the month! I am super excited that I didn't gain any weight this month and I don't have anything to undo next month!
- Finish 1 book - I read "North Haven" this month. It was just OK, not one of my favorites. It had a good story and characters but it just never went anywhere.
- Read 10% of "The Beauty Myth" - Done!
- Watch 4 movies - We have blown this goal out of the water watching six movies this month and hitting 30 movies for the year! I'm so glad the boys are enjoying movies and we are able to watch some more. The ones we watched this month are "Incredibles," "Incredibles 2," "Jumanji," "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," "Elf" and "Teen Titans Go!"
- Book our babysitter for a night so we can go out - We didn't do this again this month. We've been really busy and enjoying our family time but we also know our relationship is important. Hoping to get back to this in August!
- Help Adrian work at least 3 hours of OT each week - Adrian worked 6 hours of overtime this month. He was sick one week and he took some time off this month so he didn't get as much overtime as we normally do. But we made the decision that family time was more important.
- Spend as little as possible - We did pretty good with not spending too much but we did buy all of the back to school stuff this month. And there was Prime Day.
- I'm taking the summer off from this goal, it will be back on in September
- Clean out the boys' art supplies - done!
- Clean out the front closet - done!
- Clean out the play room with the boys (10 minutes per day) - done!
- Started working on turning the spare room into Daniel's room - Since we finished everything else this month, we started on our fall goal which is cleaning out the spare room and turning it into Daniel's room. He is so excited!
- Meal plan posts every Sunday - 4 posts
- Week in review posts every Friday - 4 posts
- Monthly goal posts the last day of the month - done!
- Have one family board game night - We blew this goal out of the water again with 5 game nights this month & many games of "Machi Koro" that were not during game nights. We played a lot of board games in July for sure!
- Attend one Zumba jam session - done! It wasn't one of my favorites and I probably won't use any of the choreo from it but I went and made the best of it and got a great workout.
- Switch out the band portion of my Silver Sneakers class - done!
- Do one activity each week that each person picks (5 activities per week) - We did this every week and then some! We have done a ton of things and enjoyed them all. Check out my weekly blogs for more details.
- Have an awesome Fourth of July - done!
- Get ready for our family vacation in August - done!
