June 2010 Summary

June was a good month! In total I formally exercised on 22 days of the month and burnt 13,077 kcals on the cardio machines. In addition the hulas, sits ups and strength training picked up although I'm still awaiting delivery of the G4i Home Gym to take the strength training up a notch.

June saw some travel to India and UK, and during the June days I kept the exercise going (not true for the beginning of July which means I'm now playing catch up...)

While I didn't have the opportunity for an official weigh in for the end of June my weight/body fat have continued to decrease although a little slower due to some 'flexibility' on the food while on vacation. note: Official weigh ins need to be on my own scales at home and also at a consistent time of day.

The two highlights must be the continued success/progress on making time to exercise and also the first ever successful hula!

I'm looking forward to July and getting back into the rhythm. An unofficial weigh in this morning is showing me around 78.x kg and 21.x % body fat. I'll complete an official weigh in after a couple of days of adjusting back to the US timezones so I'm able to have a more consistent comparison.
