So I only set one goal for the month of July, and it was a good one!
Mostly this is because I was so busy prepping for my Israel trip that I couldn’t think too hard about the month ahead. But also, I really wanted to live well on my trip abroad. And live well…I did!
This was a super active vacation with walking and hikes almost every day. Yet, I still attempted to run (two short runs in the crazy heat) and did yoga in the mornings when I could.
Since we were typically on the move, there wasn’t much downtime for snacking. But there was plenty of fresh and colorful veggies at every meal and I can see why the Mediterranean diet is so popular.
Mentally, I was able to stay present and journal every day. This made for a fantastic vacation which started the month off right. Since then it has been all about marathon training with a little Bikram yoga thrown in for fun!
I have been catching up with my family and friends and the BOY and I hosted a Mediterranean BBQ with some of the best food we’ve ever made!
It’s amazing to me that tomorrow will be August. How does summer always seem to fly by?!
What was the highlight of your July???
August Goals
My main goal is to support my marathon training so that I can stay healthy and happy as the miles increase!
The plan is to do this by…
-Finishing Hal’s Book
-Stretching
-Eating Clean
-Sleeping Often
-And Living Well!
My secondary goal is to raise money in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital as a St. Jude Hero!
Luv What You Do 
I love everything about your trip and that you stayed super active! That’s the way to do it! Your goals for August are great!
Thank you Brittany! That was a great way to see and explore Israel for sure. I am hoping to stay active this weekend (weather permitting) when we head up to Wisconsin!
I want that hummus, to try Bikram Yoga, and someday to climb. The hummus goal I can tackle immediately!
ha ha! You should definitely whip up a batch of homemade hummus. It’s super easy! You can do it one handed while holding the baby : )
For sure! I posted some killer black bean hummus the other day. It tasted like Fritos bean dip!
I can’t believe it is August already!! Summer goes way too fast. The highlight of my July was visiting DC!
Yea! I love to hear that!!!
Yum, that Mediterranean bbq looks amazing, and your trip pics are wonderful! Great goals, too 🙂 SO glad you had a wonderful july!
You too! It was great to read all about your trip back home!
Love that goal to live well! Such a great reminder for all of us 🙂 Your July was fantastic… here’s to super August, too! The highlight of my July: Hmm… IM training and my first solo century ride!
That is a HUGE accomplishment! I have never done a century but it is on my bucket list. Cheers to an awesome August!
Summer is going by way too fast. How did you like the Bikram yoga? I did it for the first time a couple of months ago, and I really enjoyed it.
The Medeiterrean diet and lifestyle is incredible. Such good zen vibes and colorful food.
Yes I did well with Mediterranean eating! I thought that the Bikram was interesting. There were parts that I liked but overall I found it a little strict and found that I like a vinyasa flow class better because it’s different each week. I still have some free passes though so I’m going back again!
