April a Month in Review

Today was my last weigh in at WW for the month of April. I sat down and reflected back on my wins and my losses (no pun intended).

I decided this year because I had goals I wanted to reach, that I was writing them down. Doing this makes the goal more real and important. I am not by any means disappointed in myself for not making/reaching my goals. So here is what I wanted to accomplish for the month of April:

• Lose 10.3 pounds
• Go to gym 3x week
• All blue dots
• 10,000 steps per day

Some of my goals may have been a bit out of my norm, but I believe this to be true

I did not reach my 10.3 pound loss goal. I am alright with that! Why? Because in the end I did have a loss over all for the month, that to me is a win! This is a journey and there will be gains and losses along this journey. Even though I did not reach my weight loss goal I set for the month, I did have a HUGE win this month, that I did not even write down to aim for. I hit a total weight loss of 75 pounds! I am over the moon excited and proud of myself. It was in 5e back of my mind that I would probably reach this mini-milestone this month.

I had 20 days of blue dots, meaning I stayed within my WW points range that day. Now I do want to say that on the either days that I didn’t get a blue dot does not mean I went over my daily pots, I could have been under my daily points.

I’m going to be real here I DID NOT have 10,000 steps per day at any point! This was an epic fail, but I also new that this was one of my want to reach goals and that I would really have to work at this! My job has me on my feet standing practically all day for 8 hours, and I get steps in at work, but when I’m done the last thing I want to do is be on my feet any more. So this goal will continue to need some work! I am ok with that.

I did get to the gym more then 1 time per week. Some weeks it was 3x some it was 2x. Again, I am working on creating a habit and for me I need to set small realistic goals. I have kept up with my water class and I am enjoying it. I have tried adding something new into my mix as well.

Looking ahead to May! I am starting the month out on a 10 day challenge. It’s simple I am eliminating the following from my diet for 10 days, to reset my body!

I will share how it’s going…

I am also keeping the same goals I had for April, except I’d like to lose 12 pounds in month of May. I also want to get outside some more! I have a great outdoor space and I want to do some at home workouts there.
