Goals Update: July

Oooooh, forgot to post my goals update on Friday.  Oops!  Here it is.

1. SAVE MONEY, REDUCE DEBT: Doing pretty well so far.  Continuing to make payments and not put money on my cards and still have automatic transfers each pay period into my bank account.  One day at a time.  If any of you have noticed, I added "pay off credit cards" to my 101 list, so there is an additional incentive to work on part of this goal.

2. GET BACK IN SHAPE:  Still my best goal.  I took a week off after the marathon to give my body a chance to recover.  This past week I restarted some of the Jillian Michael's Shred workouts and I completed a 4 mile run this morning.  I'm going to try to push myself to do the shred workouts more often during the week so I can refine some of the muscles I have (and get some ab workouts in)!  With Hawaii coming up in October, I want to make sure that I am staying on track with this goal.

Eating wise, I'm getting better again.  I'm back to eating what I was for breakfast and lunch and have started to really focus on my snacking.  The one difficulty I am having is reducing the sweets (chocolate) I am eating.  I need to get back to what I was doing when I first started, which was basically removing all unnatural sugar from my diet.

3. STEP OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE:  This one has sort of come to a standstill.  I'm still pushing myself to get dressed up for work in the morning and try new things.  But that's really about it.  I'm hoping this one will pick up a bit in the second half of the year.
