Monthly Check-In – May Edition

So today I took my monthly measurements for my trainer yesterday.  I am happy to report that I’m down another FOUR inches from last month   I often feel like I’m measuring wrong, but I suppose I’m not, because I can feel the difference in my clothes.  The only thing that makes me sad about my measurements is that I lost absolutely nothing on my butt measurement and my arm measurement went up.  So this month’s goal is to get at least a little something off everywhere.

In the lb department, I was down only 2 lbs for the month.  Not the big number I was hoping for, but considering I started the month on antibiotics and was ridiculously busy/traveling, I’ll take it.  Any downward movement.  Down is better than up, even if it’s a small down.

In general, I know I could have done a lot more this month, but it was a big struggle for me.  I could have worked more/harder, but I think I learned a lot.  Learned how to make the plan work for me.  Learned how to get up at o’dark thirty to make sure the workouts got done and learned to say no and call a friend when I’m feeling weak.  It was a good month for progress mentally…which is good for future progress physically.

My goals for June are to exercise a little more consistently (4-5 days every week), get my sleep in every night (7.5 hours), and really make some progress on my upper body.  With only 4 months til the wedding, I’d like to start getting my arms together for the strapless (what the hell was I thinking??) dress that I’m wearing.  Time to hit the weights!!
