July recap and August goals???
Ok so I feel pretty good about my goals from July. i think for the most part I did well.
My goals before Aug 5 were:
Read new book Food- the good girls drug- I'm about 3/4 done with it.
Lose down to 260 before surgeon appt aug 5th- I was 262 this morning so will watch the salt and water intake and HOPEFULLY will be about to make my goal
Work up to 6.5 miles a day on my recumbent bike- I have done this though sometimes I do less than that (only 30 min instead of 40 min if I'm really tired)!
Look into gym/other exercise - haven't done this yet :( but feel I will get bored of the bike very soon! Any suggestions? I have netflix and amazon prime- and programs on that?
August goals before Sept surgeon appt:
Lose to 254
Organize my guest room! We have ebay stuff everywhere to sell and it is a mess!
Find new workout option- preferably with weights?
Level up with my Jamberry nail wrap and Tyra beauty business!

My July Goals:
- Get appointments finished for revision surgery approval: DONE! I did NUT, Cardiologist, EDG and gathered all medical records.
- Get approved for revision surgery: Not submitted yet. My Gastro. who did my EDG has taken over TEN DAYS so far to write up the report. Just waiting on him. 
- Start Journaling my Food: DONE! I am logging all of my food on MyFitnessPal (EVERY BITE GOOD OR BAD) and I am already seeing results!
- Drink at least 72oz of Water Daily: Improving! I got an app called Waterlogged and have drastically increased how much I am drinking. Prior to this, there were some days I drank NOTHING all day. And magically, within 2 weeks of drinking more water I started my menstrual cycle. Might not be a big deal to some, but when you get 1-2 periods per year, it's a cause for celebration!
- Make other health appointments needed: DONE. I made an optometrist appointment because of my low vision (unfortunately found out I have cataracts at 32 years old) and have a Dermatologist appointment scheduled for September. And PCP annual exam this week.
- Purge my household of all bad foods: Work-in-progress. I sometimes find something I shouldn't have and can't resist temptation. I threw out my worst trigger food (popcorn) and as I see others, I try to throw them out before eating them, instead of during the guilt after.
August Goals:
- Keep all existing appointments. Due to my anxiety, I sometimes cancel appointments because I go into panic mode.
- Get approved for revision surgery: Not really in my control at this point, but I am REALLY hoping to have a date on the books by this time next month!
- Lose 10 pounds: Continuing to eat high protein and low-carb even before surgery will make this happen. I can do it!
- Start Exercising:Find a way I can exercise daily as an agoraphobic. Going to try to use my XBox Kinect "Your Shape Fitness Evolved" as well as "Leslie Sansone: Walk Away the Pounds" set of videos that I can do from my living room.
- Meet my 72oz Water Goal at least 25 days this month: I am worst on the weekends because I sleep in. I can improve though!

Hi- Not sure if you have amazon prime, but I just found a bunch of videos on there for exercising- so you can do them from your phone or tablet or laptop...

I'm a little late to setting goals, but tomorrow is my birthday, and that always puts me in a contemplative mood...!
August goals:
- Move from Obese to Overweight category (6 more lbs!)
- Transition back to work and continue to get in all my water and protein.
- Run a mile outside (I can do it on the treadmill, but fall apart on real pavement...)
- Dye my hair something fun and crazy, like blue or purple. I'm 41 (tomorrow), a total preppy, but for some reason, I really want to go bold and wild. I have the appointment, already--just hoping I don't chicken out!
- High Weight before LapBand: 200 (2008)
