On July 7th, I chose three goals. Let’s see how I did, shall we?
Since that date, I walked every morning but one. I sometimes walked more than 20 minutes and sometimes I did additional exercise, like doing laps in the pool. Goal one achieved.
I lost 8.6 pounds. Today’s official number is 331.4 pounds. I am chalking this up as a success even though it’s not ten pounds. I have entertained every weekend for the last two months, which means I did lots of cooking and alcohol and deserts. Everyone now knows I am on a specific diet and being as supportive as their individual selves will allow. Goal two achieved.
While I did not specifically take time out to sit and meditate, I used my exercise time to consciously relax. I consider this a step towards goal number three’s accomplishment.
So, for August, I will proceed with the three goals I already have with additions.
Goal One: Morning 20 minute walk plus stretching. I’m getting old and creaky, so flexibility is a key goal.
Goal Two: Losing an actual ten pounds this month. There are no holidays or birthdays or visitors to celebrate this month so I think I can do it.
Goal Three: Meditating: sitting down, alone, in the quiet when I get home from work for 15 minutes. I will do this. What’s fifteen minutes? I can spare that. And I so enjoy it.

Today I will dress and take my fat butt to Curves (do you have a Curves near you?) I look at me in the mirror and I am just too embarassed to be seen with me ....
You're both beautiful you know, some of the most beautiful women I have met in Blogland. So stop with all this fat talk.
Quilly: We do have Curves here and i tried it, but I got bored.
Jenn: Oh, you sweety.
Well, I joined Curves. I start tomorrow morning. I doubt I'll get bored. It is only a half an hour per day. I have day dreams longer than that. My weight ticker is at the very bottom of my DAY page.
The Toothsome Threesome.
I found it.
I have a lisp -- didn't before I tried to say our group name ....
I hid my stats, too. They are an August 1st post -- right before the original curves post. I am so glad I discovered how to change post dates!
The toothsome threesome? Haha, I like it.
I went for a walk this morning. It was good. I think mornings are better than evenings as the mind is less ruffled.
Quilly: Sorry, didn't mean to cause a speech impediment.
Jenn: Good for you. Mornings are better for me, too. If I waited until after work, I'd never do it.
I only got to treadmill once this week. Having a mild concission makes exercise more difficult.
My goal is to maintain during vacation.
