Well bootcampers. Sorry to say, but I am bidding goodbye to this thread. I started the BL Summer Challenge this week. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with too many threads to check on. I'll pop in from time to time to see how everyone is doing. It was fun during my month here.

Well I have either made or came very close to all my goals for this month. I hit the weight loss goal of a 5 lb loss. Did well on water, exercise, relaxation, treated myself. So I am ready JUNE!!!!

Ok the end of the month and urgh....hahaha I really didn't do as well as I thought but I now realize that I set my goals too high! I'm looking forward to June and being more productive. I think this month has given me a good jump start for the next! Here is a recap:

#1. My plan is Weight Watchers. I have found that I have had the best luck with this as it forces me to eat MORE. I think most of my problem is that I usually only eat dinner!

I stuck to this and counted all my points. I slacked a bit on the weekends but otherwise was rather honest with myself.

#2. EXERCISE I have not been good about exercising but feel that the following goal is do-able for me:
-elliptical at least 10 mins (to start as I know it's going to kill my legs in the beginning) a day
-three mile walk with my dog at least three times a week

This is where I failed. My poor dog didn't get walked at all this month. However we have a fenced in back yard so she got to run a lot and we play soccer with her EVERY day! But summer is upon us and I hope to really kick things up a notch.


#3. Relaxation My new thing is writing in my journal. I don't want to have a daily entry but at least once a week. I am writing not about my journey to weight loss but rather about who I am and who I want future generations to know me as.

I did start to do this and will continue.


#4. Water This is a biggy for me. I am going to set a goal of having at least 85 ounces of water a day. I know this sounds low but right now I usually only have one bottle of water. I really don't like water so I use crystal light.

I have been MUCH better about getting my water in.


#5. Declutter your home - my goal is to set aside at least 10 minutes after eating dinner to clean the house a bit. I feel this will also help me with not going straight to bed after I eat!

This is ongoing. I am looking into some feng shui so I will definately be decluttering this month!


#6. Pamper/Grooming To me pampering is a tan. I love being tan. So I have purchased a monthly package and will not allow myself to go tanning unless I walked or used the elliptical in the morning.

I did tan a few times and that does keep me in line a bit.

#7. Extra area to work on - My temper. I have found that because I have been upset with myself I have been taking that out on others in my life.

Still need to keep working on this.


#8. Motto/Mantra - To be calm is the highest achievement of the self. - Yogi


#9. Goals I had recently lost 15lbs with weight watchers but couldn't afford it anymore and in the past couple weeks have gained back 12. I am going to set my goal at 15lbs.

Not even close! But next time!

#10. REWARD I'm going to reward myself with (I really want to say a Friendly's Five Scoop Butterfinger Sundae right now) hmmm...I'm going to say that for meeting this goal I am going to treat myself to a pedicure. Yea a pedicure at the mall.

No reward as I didn't do as well as I wanted.

Okay everyone...post your start and finish especially on weight...whoever lost the most needs to start the next thread

Only a 2.8 lb loss. I didn't stay on plan quite as much as I would have liked. I usually had at least one slip up on food a week, and didn't exercise as much as I would have liked. But next month will be better, I did really good with staying on plan this past week and plan on staying that way.

Come out, come out where ever you are!!!

Where is everybody? You all can't give up now, summer is just beginning. I need this challenge, we all need it or we would not have joined.
