This month I can honestly say I'm surprised I actually lost any weight at all, let alone 4 pounds! This month was really busy socially and at work. I had a girl's night out for Magic Mike (aka heavy alcohol consumption), 4th of July on the Beach (alcohol & food), a Hawaiian Cooking Class (tons of food), my birthday (cake, ice cream, steak, alcohol), my friend's birthday on a Pirate Cruise (heavy alcohol consumption), American Society of Quality Professionals Meeting @ a Rum Distillery (alcohol), 5 nights in Texas for a training at work (BBQ, Tacos, Steak & Margaritas), another friend's birthday party (Pizza, Alcohol, Ice Cream Cake) and a lovely seafood dinner with a nice large 32 ounce bucket of booze to close out the month!
Here are some photo highlights of all that fun:

I did end up having some nice gains this month in my yoga practice. I now can consistently maintain upward dog for every transition during class rather than having to use Cobra some of the times, I can now maintain Running Man, and hold a Shoulder Stand without supporting my back with my hands. If it weren't for my belly fat, I could probably get to Plow as well but it kinda hinders that pose sadly.
I didn't run as much as I originally planned but at least I got some in. My goal for August is to at least for sure run on Mondays & Saturdays and possibly some Wednesday if I can get out of work on time so that I can do a run & yoga. We'll see how that works out though! I hope I can maintain with the weight loss. This month shouldn't be as busy with the unhealthy events all month. I don't have friends with birthdays in August and I have no work travel planned. I do have a wine dinner scheduled @ Roy's on August 21st and my mother & her husband are visiting my husband and I the last weekend of the month.
