So I guess it's time for my August goals. I've been thinking a lot about it. I have tons of little goals but I think I want to concentrate on 3 big ones:
1. Declutter, declutter, declutter... This month I'm joining Kim at Out My Window on her de-cluttering challenge this month. I've been doing OK overall but I want to bump it up a notch and actually clean a couple of rooms and areas of the house and get 50 things out of the house in August.
2. Lose weight. The first part of the year I was exercising regularly and slowly losing weight. But for the past three months life got on the way or just got lazy. Either way, I gained back everything I lost and then some. I didn't even step on the scales until last Sunday. And it showed 154.4 lbs...Here, I said it! I know at 5'6" I'm still within a norm but I really don't like this norm. The problem is that I was in 110-115 lbs range before I got married and had kids. I was always skinny growing up and at my teenage years I even put thin pads at certain places to get more curves. Yeah, I know, silly me! Anyway, I've been married for less then 7 years and I gained 40 pounds. It's painful! Even though I don't want to be 110 lbs again, I would love to be at the 130s range. So I'm back on this wagon! I will exercise at least 3 times a week and eat more fruits and veggies and less IKEA chocolate...My guilty pleasure! I want to lose at least 4 lbs in August, 1 lb a week sounds very reasonable.
So these are my big goals for the month. I will update on them, probably, on Wednesdays. Come join me or just wish me luck :)
Good luck with your goals for August,
