It seems rather silly to have any goals for July to be honest. July is going to be so busy and hectic I think my goal should really just be “maintain whatever I’m currently doing.” But that’s not a very long post, is it? June was kind of a fail in terms of sticking to my goals.<\/p>\n

June Goals<\/a><\/h4>\n

1. Try one new restaurant each month. This month:\u00a0Beast<\/a>.<\/strong> NOPE. Never made it.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

2. Use sunscreen diligently. <\/strong>YES. I’ve been doing much better. <\/em><\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Commute to work two times a week by bike (weather permitting of course). <\/strong>SORTA. Once a week weather permitting is all I’ve been able to do. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

4. Successfully complete the Gorge Ride (40 miles)! <\/strong>NOPE!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So June was kind of a bust. I was disappointed with the weather getting in the way of so many things I wanted to accomplish. Physically I could have ridden to work twice a week but the weather was never consistent enough for that to happen. I was bummed about that because my schedule at work will be changing and that will also effect when I can commute to work. Another challenge with commuting: the closing of the Morrison Bridge to cyclists. That made life a little more difficult for this newbie biker!<\/p>\n

After a discussion Michael and I had decided not to participate in the Gorge Ride. The money and timing just didn’t work for us and in the end I think it was a good decision. I believe it ended up being a very rainy day the day of the ride. We did bike 40 miles <\/a>though!<\/p>\n

June wasn’t all bad. I bought new cycling shoes and learned how to clip-in<\/a> (something I’d been avoiding for a year out of fear). I went on an amazing anniversary <\/a>trip with Michael. \u00a0I hung out with another blogger<\/a>. My garden <\/a>is growing huge. \u00a0I struggled with going Scale-Free<\/a> and honestly? I might go back to weighing in for July.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

June was awesome for a few other reasons too: I got in some really great workouts<\/a>, swam 2 miles for the first time<\/a>, and I discovered the deliciousness of caramelized onions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

July Goals<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

1. Commute to work by bike whenever I can. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

2. Practice getting in long rides on weekends.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Incorporate more free weights in my workouts. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

4. Enjoy the summer! <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

5. Read more books (I already read like 3 a week but I’m hungry for more!).
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I think that’s doable.<\/p>\n
