So without further ado, let's jump into this weekly recap, WW workshop topic and my weigh in. Like I said, I cannot believe July is over. Where has this month went? Actually, where has this entire year went? I feel like it is just flying by. If you agree, leave it down in the comments. Let me know if you feel like 2021 has flown by. And maybe that's because 2020 drug on and on and on. So as we move into the final week of July, I am doing really well. I am back to tracking. I told you in last week's weigh in video that I was transitioning back into tracking all of my food, which I've been, I would say 80% successful this week. There were a couple of meals I didn't track. Not full days, but meals. So I'm still getting back into the habit and the swing of actually tracking every single little thing. Of course, I'm going to continue tracking through the month of August continuously in every single day so that I can get back into that tracking habit. I finished up my least favorite time of the month. So that always makes me feel a little bit better. And really, the most exciting part of last week is I was able to get in three days of Jazzercise. Now they were back to back Thursday, Friday and Saturday. So I'm still sore today from all of those workouts, but at least I was able to get in three full days, which seriously makes my heart so happy. I ended up eating out a couple of days this last week and still was able to stay within my calories. And overall, it was just a really good week. But before I jump into my final weigh in for July 2021, let's chat a little bit about this week's WW workshop topic. If you want to make your weight loss journey or your maintenance journey easier, then it's simple to focus on three good things. Get into the habit of focusing on the good things. Now, sometimes life is crazy. Sometimes life honestly sucks, but there are always good things happening to us every single day. If we really think about it and put it into perspective, there should be at least three positive things that we can come up with on a daily basis. Think about what are three good things that happen today. Maybe you got your favorite coffee drink at your local coffee shop. Maybe you took a walk and it felt amazing getting outside. Think hard about three things big or small that happened that were positive today. Help all that goodness sink in by writing down those three things. Where were you? Who was there with you? What were the sights, the sounds, the smells that were going on when these good things happened? And reflect. Reflect on how you felt during these particular instances. How did you feel when it happened and how do you feel now looking back on those three things? Did you know that science shows that being grateful can make you overall a happier person? And when we're a happier person, we're more likely to make healthier choices. And those healthy choices can be with weight loss or just our overall life in general. By identifying positive things that have happened to us, it can just bring us joy and just make our day feel a little bit brighter. When you shift your perspective from life sucks to, hey, these three good things happen today and here's how I'm feeling about it. It can literally bring instant joy. And when we feel happy and motivated and excited, we're just a happier, motivated and more excited person overall. And this plays into every area of our life, whether it be work, family, friends, and even our weight loss. The more you intentionally call out three good things that happen to you on a daily basis or even a weekly basis, the more likely this is going to become a habit. It'll be seamless for you to focus on the positive instead of the negative. And we all know that when we're negative it's hard for us to be really happy and motivated about anything. But when we focus on the positive and the bright side, life overall is just much more glorious. I know for me, I like to focus on the joy in the little things. Maybe the funny thing Palmer, my dog did that day or maybe the fact that my hair turned out nice that day, whatever it may be, focus on the positive and push that negative aside. I know most people can focus on the negative instead of the positive. So I like that WW is bringing this to light. So we mindfully think about the things that we're focusing on day to day. So now I want to share with you guys how my final weigh in for the month of July went. If you follow my videos and you watch my weekly weigh-ins, I do put out a Friday weigh in video every single week. I've actually lost weight the entire month of July. And this week, the final week of July was no exception. When I stepped on the scale, I am down 0.8 pounds. 0.8 is half of a pound. So don't throw 0.8 out the window. All these little point this and point that add up to a pound. And with that being said, I'm going to put here on this screen my total weight loss for the month of July. I couldn't be happier. The fact that I lost weight every single week in July with most of those weeks not tracking a single thing is a huge win for me. It just goes to show that you can eat as much as you can and still lose weight. As I mentioned, I am eating the most calories I've eaten so far on my weight loss journey. And I'm steadily continuing to lose weight. I haven't up my exercise. I haven't done anything else drastic. I'm just eating more and losing weight, which makes me so happy. I know that I'm feeling my body. I know that I'm losing weight in a healthy, sustainable way, which means guess what? I'm going to end up keeping all of that weight off long term. So now I want to hear from you guys. How was your final week of July? Did you gain? Did you lose? And what do you think about focusing on the positive instead of the negative? I know for me I am going to be mindful about focusing on things that make me happy and bring me joy, not things that bring me down and make me sad. So leave down in the comments how your week was, how things are going moving into August, and maybe what some of your goals are for the month of August.
