July Review
1. Drink 1 litre of water everyday
Verdict: Sort of passed – I did drink a litre or more a day, sometimes even 2 litres. What I have found is that it’s not difficult for me to drink while at work, but I need to drink my water when at home.
New Goal: Make sure I get a litre bottle for use over the weekend, and drink a litre over the weekend.
Verdict: Pass. I did do 2 new protective styles, as this has been incorporated in my challenge I will write up a post to review the styles I did.
New Goal: N/A
3. Avoid buying any new products
Verdict: Hmmm....I would say I passed as the only products I purchased were to replace my staples that were finished or help me combat setbacks. I did get a shampoo which I didn’t need but this was a gift that I forced my mum to get for me! Hehehe, ok I failed
New Goal: Only buy products when one is finished (i.e. for replacement)
Verdict: I passed on the M&S when needed, my NG is happy with me, but as for the castor oil part, this would be a fail, first I run out of castor oil and have been on the grape-seed oil trip!
New Goal: n/a
5. Do a 1 or 2 mile jog 3 times a week – (hopefully lose 1kg)
Verdict: Well....this is a big fail! Not one day did I jog, I did Pilates for 10 mins once, and swam on another day in between teaching my friend how to swim, but aside from that nothing else. Did I lose 1 kg well.... I didn’t even bother checking, and my scale battery stopped working!
New Goal: Do some exercise for 30 mins twice a week!
Verdict: Pass, pass, pass and pass! I had something going on, on every weekend in July
1. Hosted my cousin and her boyfriend (6th)
2. Went to a food festival (7th)
3. Went to visit my boyfriend’s cousin’s baby (13th)
4. Hosted my friend (14th)
5. Went for a photo-shoot with the other half (20th)
6. Hosted a friend of the bf (21st)
7. Hosted my uncle and his wife (27th)
8. Went to see the bf’s family (28th)
No free weekends at all!!!

You did pretty good on your goals. I can sooooo relate to your first goal. My water bottle is stirring me in the face at my desk so I'm constantly drinking water but once I'm home I don't consume as much. Good Luck with your August goals!
ReplyDeleteI think I made too many goals! The water one I wish I could nail, anyway maybe in August!
