Believe it or not, I feel like I did a really good job on my July goals. I didn't really eat any processed foods, and somehow didn't find myself constantly reaching for a bag of gummies despite all that was going on with work, it might have something to do with the fact that when I got stressed I did yoga or abs for 10 minutes rather than give in to my sugar cravings. 1. Give in to sleep. I've always been a terrible sleeper. At three, I cried hysterically in my bed about how I couldn't go to sleep because I had to do my homework. I was also that child that could not take a nap...just couldn't. Lately though, I have found myself craving sleep more. So I would like to go ahead and say in bed by 10:00pm most nights (probably excluding weekends).
2. Get back to meal prep. We haven't been meal prepping like we used to...i.e., taking 2 hours on Sunday to do most of the cooking for the week. I think it is time we get back at it (though I feel like I am setting myself up for failure here, because I am literally traveling every weekend except one this month).
3. Swimming. I'd like to get back in the habit of swimming at least once a week. Also the July/August 2015 issue of SHAPE has this ridiculous 30 minute pool workout. It includes laps, burpees, wall kicks, push ups, and more. I haven't figured out how its safe to do burpees on the pool deck without shoes...but I'll let you know.
