It's a new month. Time to make a fresh start, right? That's what I was thinking too. This is going to be a tough month. One where I could, and probably will, make a lot of excuses to not really follow the diet. This weekend is the Fourth of July and we are taking an extended weekend off. I forsee lunches and dinners out as we have plans to catch the Royals in action, a trip the aquarium at Crown Center, and based on the amazing forecast, a trip to the zoo. The trip to the zoo, and a walk to the local pool, will result in some exercise, but nothing that will exert too much energy! However, I'm hoping the minor activity will help keep the weight gain at bay!
In three weeks we are heading to Virginia for a family reunion and there will be lots of food and drinks to be had. The thought of counting points, withholding treats and drinks, and not allowing myself to have the things I love while on vacation just doesn't sound appealing. And, we aren't going to be getting any exercise so that doesn't really help my case. All, I can say is that this girl will take her vacation in stride and if pounds are gained, so be it!
Outside of these two fun filled family vacations, we don't have anything planned for July. If I make poor choices here and there, that's okay. I have the rest of the month to work out the kinks. However, there is our big cocktail party at the end of the month. Remember me telling you about it and how I have the dress all picked out? Well, I need to be careful but not too careful as there was this invention of SPANX several years ago!
This past weekend we had a BBQ which involved a lot of food, several desserts and a couple of beers! And, there was leftovers of the food and desserts. (There was plenty of leftover beer, but I only drank at the BBQ.) I can report, that with all the consumption, I still lost 0.8 pounds! I was pretty happy about that. I would say that July has started off with a bang! Get it...bang...fireworks...
I'll keep you posted on the progress!
