So far, July has been an amazing month for me personally. Kicking things up a notch at the gym made all the difference in the world. I'm in every single day now..if not just to get on the treadmill somedays. Sometimes my workouts are hard and sometimes easy. Just moving more than the average sendentary lifestyle has done me wonders. Ten pounds in three weeks.
That may sound like an aweful lot, but if you add in my full time hobby of gardening.........I'm rarely sitting. With a large country wooded lot, I have so many things to do. This month I've put in nearly 40 shrubs, tree's and bushes, lot's of weeding, feeding, pruning, digging, raking, mulching, carrying large bags of potting soil, etc.
I've resurrected an old hobby of tile mosaics. While it isn't completely labor intensive, it adds into the fold and I barely have time to think about food. I'm getting my calories, my protein, etc. My McDougall dietary habits are set in stone now. Only getting hit by a moving vehicle will keep me from achieving my goals.
Today I have gym, gardening and 20 tons of gravel to spread. The gravel is going to take awhile in this heat (very hot in the states right now).
Pardon me for using this site as my personal diary, but it is helping me a great deal and just maybe, I might be able to reach and touch some others life. I'm just so dang excited about everything in such a great way and am feeling so much more accomplished.
Have a great day everyone!
