I can't believe that it is the end of the month. June really flew! Each month write a reflection on how the month went - Here is mine for June.

June Reflection

June was a great month for weight loss, a slowdown in exercise!

I lost 4.6 pounds this month – even beat my stretch goal! Down 83 pounds from the start of my journey. Even with a trip to Hawaii during the month. I have five pounds to go to get my BMI to the ideal range, and 10 pounds to go to my goal. When I get there, we shall see what I do – I might just go a tiny bit further to say that I hit the 100-pound mark. That would be another 17 pounds from today.

I reached the 1,350-mile marker on my quest to walk 2,024 miles in 2024, logging 135 miles in June – my least number of miles since I started this journey in January 2023. My injury last month turned out to be a meniscus tear and have had to slow down. I got a cortisone shot and feel a little better – but decreased my step goal from 17,000 steps a day to 8,000. I’m thinking I can move up to 10,000 in July. Although I have slowed down, I am still in the purple (that means I will make it) range. So far have averaged 7.45 miles per day. This tracker is all miles walked – not just intentional. I am also tracking my intentional miles, just to see how I do. To date I have tracked 982.05 intentional miles. This puts me at 48% complete – just below the 50% mark.

I did an experiment with Nutrisystem food in June. I ordered two weeks of food. Here’s what I found out:

1. It works - I got over my plateau and continued to lose - lost almost 5 pounds in two weeks. 😁
2. It was super easy to follow 😁 but, had we had to cook two meals daily - one for me, one for Greg. ☹️
3. The food was edible - not fantastic, not gross 😐
4. I did not meet my protein goal most days ☹️, but met carb, fat, sodium and fiber goals almost every day 😁.
5. Most days the calories were about 1,350 - ranging from a little under 1,200 to 1,600. I wasn't hungry. 😁
6. I usually eat 5 fruits/veggies a day - but switched to 4 veggies one fruit on Nutrisystem. 😐
7. It's doable as a quick fix, I couldn't do it long term. 😐
8. Overall - I am extremely happy with the weight loss. So overall score! 😁
9. 👩‍🍳 I like to cook!

We took a trip to Hawaii midway through the month. Overall, I am very happy with my dedication on the trip. We did not have access to the fitness center – so my exercise consisted of swimming and walking. I logged everything I ate and drank to the best of my ability. I was over my calorie goal and more importantly my sodium goal every day, but not by huge numbers. I ate breakfast every day, and many lunches as well. I limited my alcohol. Only one day of two drinks, and many with none. I ate only half of my dinner entre – boxing up the rest for breakfast or Greg’s snacks for the future. I gained weight, but within the week home lost it all.

Looking at my June goals, I did well – except never finished The Burning Page. I just couldn’t through it. Will try to find something fun to read for July!

My July Goals

• Lose 4 pounds (always my goal), but be happy with a 2% loss for the month
• Alternate days of Cardio and Strength Training
• Follow Doctor’s orders – go to Physical Therapy
• Average 10K Steps per day
