    Well, I'd like to lose another 5lbs by the end of August.
    My goal is to find a new exercise that I enjoy to go along with my running. I want to really focus on my eating and detox from my Vegas Wedding...lol

    Starting the first I am doing 30ds and a 21 day no junk food challenge. I plan to complete both. I tried 30ds once before and didn't finish. I want to be out of the 180s by the end of the month, which is totally possible if I stay committed (I'm at 186.6 now)

    Get some recent bad choices under control.

    To remind myself again it's not always about the 'number' it's about your overall health. When I started this journey it pretty much started for vanity reasons but when I not only began to look better, but also FEEL better it really did turn into a lifestyle goal, a health goal. The fact that I can exercise, that I really actually LIKE to exercise, that I can jog/walk and not die, not quit like a minute into it. Even if I wake up and randomly have that "Ugh, I don't want to do this, this morning" feeling. Once I just go do it and get back, I feel amazing. Proud of myself and proud isn't a word I would generally use to describe myself.

    I am sure it won't happen by August of course, but overtime I just hope to like me more. To not be so hard on myself. I have struggled with this for a very long time, most of my life and despite all the changes with this journey I still do not feel like the negativity I have towards myself has lessened very much. This journey for me, it has been just as mental/emotional as it has been physical.

    I aim to lose between five and ten pounds, count calories on the weekend (as I normally get distracted since I spend my weekends away from home), and figure out a way to exercise while I'm on vacation in California for a week. If anyone has recommendations, please let me know in a PM.

    My Birthday is Aug 29th. I want to be under 200 for my birthday. I have about 8 pounds to go and I seriously think I can do this. It will be the first time in 6 years I'll be under 200 and I'm so geekered. I'm going to keep pushing play, eating well and putting 1 foot in front of the other.
