July Goals

Holy crap it's July. June went by way too fast, and ended with very little success in the goal department.

June's Goals:
- Exercise at least twice a week - Nope
- No more donuts!!! If I can cut out coffee and soda, I can cut out donuts. - I switched from donuts to apple fritters. I don't count this as success lol
- Shop for produce at farmer's market at least once - Nope. 
- Organize the office so I can have a craft day with my niece - We used the living room floor instead.
- Have dinner at the dining table at least 3 times a week - Nope. Still can't even see my dining table.
- Buy a yoga membership and USE IT. I figure that if I buy it, I'll feel obligated to use it. - Didn't buy it.
- Volunteer to make sandwiches for the homeless! - Nope. 

I completely bombed June's goals. But that's ok. I'm just going to start over.

July Goals:
- Stop eating apple fritters.
- Participate in the Soul Cysters Weight Loss Challenge fitness programs at least twice a week
- Enjoy my vacation
- Hang a wall shelf in the dining room so I can get rid of a bookshelf.
- Reorganize all of my books into one bookcase instead of 3. - DONE! Hubs helped me do this last week :)
- Get back to eating gluten free

I've already started working on some of my goals, so I'm certain I can complete them this month. What are your goals for the month?

    July is a brand new month. June pretty much sucked for everyone. Good luck!

    Stop eating apple fritters? Lol why?? That sounds amazing! Does your city have a book drop? Some cities have turned old magazine and newspaper bins into a place where you can put your old books in there and pick up another book that someone left :)

    @Bethany- I'm mildly allergic to gluten, so apple fritters, while freakin' awesome, make me sick.
    I've got some neighbors who like Koontz too, so I'm going to see if they want any. Then I'll take them to the library. They've got an ongoing book 'sale'. All the proceeds benefit local charities, so I'm going to donate the books to them.

Food Allergy Test Results

I was in for a surprise when I got my food allergy test results this past Wednesday. For the few days prior, my thoughts were wrought with fear that I may be allergic to garlic or nuts. I even started designing my garlic and nut super-villain tattoos. Thankfully those weren't on my list. The shock came with the 29 other items on my list! Moderate allergies Baker’s and brewer's yeast Pineapple Vanilla White mushroom Sensitivities Broccoli Buttermilk Carrots Casein Celery Cilantro Cinnamon Cod Dates Iceberg lettuce Kiwi Lamb Millet Onion Oregano Parsley Plum Potato Raspberry Rosemary Sage Strawberry Swiss cheese Turkey I was upset to see so many yummy foods on the list, including my go-to meat, turkey, and some of my usual spices. I was glad to see celery and onions, though. I’ve detested them for years and I always get laughed at for hating onions. Now I have a legitimate reason for hating them! I can live with this list. Well, I...

Diet and School updates

Dietary Change update: It's been about a month and a half now since I went vegetarian. It has been so easy for me. I really thought it was going to be hard, but I don't even miss meat that much. I'd be losing weight if I stopped eating peanut butter m&ms. I ran out of those last night and don't plan on asking Hubs to buy me any more. I hope to start seeing some weight disappear then. Thanksgiving has been the first holiday since I made this change, and I figured I might cheat and eat a little turkey. But Dad said that he's making a ham instead, and I hate ham, so it's a win-win situation! I'm making my usual from scratch green bean casserole - yum! School update: I finished my Anatomy and Physiology course with a final grade of 96. Woohoo! I've started my next class, Natural Heath and Nutrition. It focuses on the foods we eat that are beneficial for us and I'm really excited to learn more. This is exactly why I wanted to study nutrition! I ...

Vegetarian life update

I've made it through the first 3 days as a vegetarian, and I haven't missed meat at all. I know that the first few weeks are the hardest, and I'm pleased so far. I've been using quinoa and hemp seeds for proteins, and will be using nuts and beans as well. There are thousands of recipes online, and I've already tried some. I'm having to teach Hubs that it's okay for him to eat meat, and that I have no problem cooking it for him. I just don't add meat to my meal. It's surprisingly easy. We went to the grocery store on Saturday, and I walked out with no animal proteins or dairy in my bags. It was easy to ignore the meat. My PCOS group is doing an event called "Creating Goals with Soul", using Danielle LaPorte's Workbook O' Fire. Some of the girls are so excited to participate - and we could all use a little help sticking to our goals. My current health goals: - Continue my vegetarian lifestyle change - Eliminate my coffee consumpt...
