The focus for the 2nd month is NUTRITION. I'm not a calorie counter because Weight Watchers builds a caloric deficit into their plan. By focusing on nutrition this month, I'm trying to eat cleaner. No fried foods, no soda, no white bread/buns, no syrup, less starchy "veggies" (potatoes, corn), and I need to eat more lean proteins and healthy fats like avocado and dark chocolate. Yes, I just said that. =)

I'm going back to weighing and measuring my food. I never really stopped doing this after joining WW. I measured religiously the first month on the program. From then I was able to eyeball just about everything. I would go back and measure my eyeball measurements once and month, and I'm happy to report I was still spot on. In addition to weighing and measuring, I need to stay on top of tracking. For about 3 months earlier this year, I'd stopped tracking altogether. I tracked every single day in June and will continue for July as well. Tracking what I eat keeps me accountable!

To see what went down in June, click here. I survived the first 30 days, and I'm more than confident I'll survive the next 31. I've got A LOT of great people behind me! Thank you, thank you, and thank you again!

DISCLAIMER
Days in red are my weigh in days. I didn't create any of the routines on this calendar. It's a combination of The Abs Diet, BodyRock.TV, and Zuzana Light's ZWOWs.  

I am in no way, shape, form, or fashion an exercise or diet or nutrition expert. I'm simply sharing with y'all what I'm doing this summer to get in shape. I do not recommend that you attempt anything I'm doing. I do, however, suggest that if you like the routines, look into them for yourselves. And please, consult a doctor before you begin any fitness regimen.
