April- Holidays & Social Fun

 


April was a fun month but also a challenging month.  We had family in town for Easter & my sister's birthday (bonus that they both fell on the same weekend)- but this also meant more splurging with not the best of food choices and of course alcohol was involved.    But--I still managed to lose 4 pounds this month, so I will take that as a big win!    If we want to count the weight I gained over Easter weekend- well then I lost 8 pounds because to my surprise I instantly gained 4 pounds over that weekend--but even though I was mis-behaving with food/beverage choices-  I was living life, I was having fun and I was still consistent with my walking and dancing! 

My stats for April:

Average 6.18 miles per day, total of 185.39 miles for the month.

I exercised 30 days in April- that is 100% participation! 

I averaged 7 hours and 21 minutes of sleep, hitting my target sleep 23 days out of 30.

I averaged 14,451 daily steps, a total of 433,525 for the month and hitting my goal 30/30 days!   I currently as I write this on May 4th have a 94 day streak of 10k or more per day.

Staying focused is key to reaching my goals.   I have lost 17.6 pounds since my February re-set and a total of 37.6 for when I had my initial Reno reset August of 2022--there have been ups and downs but again, the key is to keep on going and not giving up!! 

I am Persistent Pam and I will reach my goals! 

I am currently at my annual Travel Conference and I am making good choices.  I am also getting up at 645am and walking for 3 miles before my sessions begin--this is HUGE for me!   I have a huge trip starting this week to Europe and I plan to stay consistent while I am gone on my trip too!   I know alcohol will be involved on this trip - peer pressure, LOL  Joking, sort of--but that's OK,  if I can come back from this trip with no loss or gain and/or a small gain like the 2 pounds from Portugal/Spain last year- that will be a win!  


Ok- back to my conference!!
