    Allie~ I am right there with you, I am SOOO glad July is over. It was like the longest month ever! I dont even know why, but now we start fresh AGIAN!~!~!

    Ashley~ Sucks about your move. I totally understand.. you cant count on anything the Army says unless is 48 hours out! Ive been the wife for 5 years so far and It still drives me crazy! Nothing you can do but grin and bear it! A good way to do that is to control the things that you can.. like your workout schedule!!! You're going to do great this month!

    Meag~ Thanks again for this awesome thread! Hope you're having fun with the BFF!~!

    AFM.... July was "OK" I didnt weigh in all month, which was my MAIN goal. But I also wanted to tone up while I wasnt on vaca, I gotta say that I failed that goal! I worked out more on Vaca than I did after wards! Well... I did just enough because I didnt gain! I stayed right at 136. I wanted to magically be at 135, but if I am honest with myself, I know I didnt put in any effort wouldnt have earned it anyway.

    So for August.... Loose 6 pounds. Why not. 135 was my goal, but Im pretty much there, so I guess Ill just keep going. If I loose 6 I will be at 130. That is still on the high end of my bmi. I also want to do 30DS again. I just cant seem to finsih the darn thing. But now its geting kind of cold so I know it will be harder for me to get myself out and to the gym, so 30DS will be perfect to keep me on track. Is 6 pounds too ambitious????

    Allislefttogain: Start training for my first full marathon; at least 96 ounces of water a day; make initial appointment with a physical therapist; hit 583.33 miles running by month end; at least 2 strength training sessions a week

    Wishy washy month for me. Did start training (and am on week 3!) of my marathon training; did get in 96 oz of water about 90% of the time; saw a PT on Saturday (phew, just slid that in) and am going back today. SURPASSED my mileage goal and ran my first 100 mile month; and majorly failed with the strength training.

    Gotta think about my August goals. A lot of it is riding on what the physical therapist says at my appointment this afternoon. EEK.

    Happy August Lovelies and new Lovelies!!

    Assessment time...
    guamgrly (Bethany) - no scale!! Focus on the lifestyle, the routine, and meal planning. Work out 3x per week. Drink 8 glasses of water per day. Eat more fruits and veggies

    I think I stepped on the scale once during the middle of July to get an accurate starting weight - so a win there. Yet to start meal planning and exercising again. Was averaging about 4 glasses of water per day which is better than the best but not where I need to be. I was definitely getting in more fruits and veggies for the month.

    And here's August...

    Got the OK to keep training for my marathon! And to start playing soccer again in the fall. YESSSSSSSSSS! Then I ran out and ran an "easy" 4 mile run in 100+ degrees....yeahhh overall 9:12 pace, which is fast for me on easy/hot days. Let myself go fast to celebrate! Have some nerve damage (unexpected news) and the ankle/tendonitis problems that I've had for years. Have very limited rotational and side to side movement in my ankle and I can't bend my toes. Never realized any of these issues until the PT had me try them today. So #1 goal for August is to keep up with PT and doing my exercises and icing "homework". I CAN KEEP RUNNING:heart:

    I'm in "maintenance" right now. Would be happy to get a bit lower, but my fitness/overall health are more of a priority to me. Haven't weighed since the end of June, and I will once in August...not sure when yet. Trying to not let the scale dictate/affect how I feel about myself. I feel good, I'm fit and healthy and eat a balanced diet...so the number isn't that important!

    Checking in for the day,

    all of these goal look great!

    Bethany- great job in July! You killed it! I am thinking I will start the C25K training. How are you starting this (silly question, but is it online..do I need to order something etc)

    AFM...well minor rough start to August,but nothing that I can't recover from in the next 30 days :) I was good till dinner in which I had a veggie burger, wedge fries and 2 mixed drinks eek. Tell me does the "yay I am finally 21 and can drink at dinner!" ever fade? it's killing my bank account and my waist lol !

    I decided to wait till Friday to weigh in as technically I started July late, and that is when this session of boot-camp ends. A little nervous to step on that scale! I made it too boot camp today (got to go to the noon class yay!!! it's my favorite and a nice treat from forcing and dreading the 5:30 classes) No work or boot-camp tomorrow but I am still going to try and make it to the gym at some point even if its only 30 min, just gotta get in that habit!

    Happy Monday and August 1st to everyone :)

    Hey all, and welcome to all the newbies!! ugh July turned out to be a bad month for various reasons.. I started out at my lowest weight ever, at 144, then came my bday, and it bumped up to 146/148.. then we had a massive heat wave, and i was on vacay and was just a total slacker... had a 5k this past weekend, and i def started out fast and determined and hit the 2 mile mark at 19:28, giving me a PR for that distance.. however i ended up walking for parts of the 3rd mile so i ended up over 31 minutes.. was so so disappointed in myself, but i had no one to blame but me for not keeping up with running during the month.. so i weighed in this morning at 147.5, and am thinking of limiting my scale usage as I'm going to be doing Ripped in 30, so we'll see how long i can hold out.. here goes! let's all have a great month!!

    Okay, trying to come back.... July was an awfully bad month for me. I really hope to let August be my month of inspiration. I have to get my butt in high gear before September! Maybe, if I set a routine and stick to it, I will be a little more adapted by then. Plus I have to fit in my clinical scrubs better! Those things are awful enough as it is- And when it is time to buy new ones I want to tell the lady at the shop- "Sorry, but I need a smaller size this time."

    To -unfortunately- rehash my goals of June:
    64 oz water/day- check
    No sodas- maybe had 2 mess up days the whole month
    sleep 6 hours 5x/wk- yep
    workout at least 4x/wk-lord nope, I fell off the wagon here... or on?
    drop below 170 *at least* again-nope, gained
    log food without omitting anything 6x/wk-sadly another nope....

    On to deciding August goals. Missed you gals :D
