August's Goals

Wednesday, August 01, 2012

I'll keep it brief.

Water intake: Averaging about 10 (8) oz's a day from drinking water/tea and eating more water-based foods.
Goal is to increase it to an average of 12-14 (8) ozs a day with the remaining 30-40 ozs coming from food. Also make some of those bottles of water lemon-waters to help in reducing swelling.

Skin: Skin is much better adjusting to detoxing and exercising I guess...the water will help. Noticed some skincare products are not good for my skin, so maybe I'll try some other stuff.

Diet: (really just food choices): Increase more green foods in my diet, add some variety slowly but surely. I need to keep a close eye on my sodium--had a cheat meal of pizza and the sodium was over 6000 mg! So I need to be more conscious of my food choices in that respect.

Exercise: Kids are almost back to school which will mean more walking and jogging for me and that's a good thing! My new group BGR has challenged me to get 7 miles a week, so I'm aiming for that. I will continue my current mix up of Elliptical, Wog, Biggest Loser Cardio, Yoga, Zumba, and strength training, but I will be adding stair climbing. Why because climbing stairs repeatedly, I have found are a weakness for me and drain me, so my aim and goal is to conquer it!

Other goals & expectations: I expect to lose atleast 5 pounds with keeping in mind that the scale may not be so friendly as I increase muscle building exercises and I'm fine with that. In fact, I have to remember that from the fall throughout the winter with my strength training increasing I may have some gains, but it will be worth it. Which leads me to my other goals of losing inches. For the month of August I want to drop a total of about 17 inches....
Neck: 14.5-1 inch
Arms - 15.5 - 1 inch
Bust: 51-3 inches
Chest 42 - 2 inches
Waist-43 - 3 inches
BB waist 50 - 3 inches
Hips 52 - 1 or 2 inches
Each thigh: 28 - 2 inches
And calves---I expect them to either stay the same or possibly increase.

Also just keep on Sparking everyday!

Okay Candice, LETS GET IT!

    Good luck, 17 inches would be an amazing feat if you wind up making it :-)
I'm gonna try to eat pizza healthily this month, hopefully it doesn't backfire.
