So it’s definitely summer…for the time being anyway! I guess this is what everyone has been working towards, huh?!Thankfully, my goals go beyond summer…which is a good job after the June that I had. Personal reasons made it difficult for me to remain active and I had what would be the most inactive month since I ever began records. therefore, I’m keeping this brief, but positive with a short write up on what I did do along with my plans for July 🙂

Goal 1: Completed March 2013
Goal 2:
I attended one Yiin Yoga class which focused on the hips; lots of long deep stretching.
Goal 3:
Lots of cycling during June really did do wonders for my core 🙂 I also taught 3 beginner pole sessions which ensured I worked on upper body and core strength demonstrating the moves over, and over, and over again!

Goal 4:
I clocked up just under 14km this month
Goal 5:
– I compiled and shared my first workout for y’all (Quick & SimpElle Workout #1)
– I moved back to London #HelloLondon
– No new activities this month 🙁
– The New YMCAfit campaign launched! You can see my pictures here and there and I’ll be bringing you the full write up soon 🙂

How are your goals going?! Have you had any set backs? and how have you dealt with them?! Leave a comment below and let me know how things are going!
Elle 😉 x
My goals are still a work in progress, but they are coming along. As for setbacks, well they happen, sometimes you just can't do anything about them, but you can still learn a lot from them, if anything your own personal integrity in how you dealt with the situation. I mean I know old me would have just fallen off the wagon and never bothered to get back up and keep going forward. Setbacks just make you stronger.
Lovely words 🙂 thank you Matilda! And glad to hear you are making progress…that's what it's all about! Look forward to your next update 🙂
i'm hoping to start the 30 ab challenge in august!so far my goals are coming along nicely; I can comfortably run 5k and I've completed a 10k (which was not part of the goal, but a very happy achievement!). I still need to try out bikram yoga and work cleaner eating habits xwww.thatgoodgirlchi.blogspot.co.uk
BOOM! Awesome job! 🙂 and still lots of time to get some Bikram and clean eating in! And oooo the abs challenge is defo a challenge 🙂 looking forward to seeing the results! See you soon x
