It's so hard to believe that the summer is nearly over. I can't believe how fast it has gone, yet it feels like I got to do so much. It has been the best summer ever, made even better by the fact that I did not have to move for the FIRST TIME IN 10 YEARS!
Instead, my big physical labor project is working on my yard. Dad is coming down next week to trim all of my trees and bushes way back. We are also doing some other work around the house while he's here. My brother is going to be here in September to rip out all of the huge, ugly bushes that surround my house. I'm so excited to get rid of those disgusting things.
Running has also been on the agenda. I took a few weeks off in July when it was ridiculously hot, and got back into it a few weeks ago. I have been faithfully running every other day for almost three weeks now and have not seen any movement in my weight. I feel like I'm killing myself running (and I don't particularly enjoy it!) and not seeing any results. My food is far from perfect, but I don't feel like I'm making horrible choices. I'm thinking about going back to some protein shakes and see if that might jumpstart my weight loss again. I really, really wanted to be at 100 pounds lost before the start of school. 90 will have to do I think.
So, I believe I have lost about 10 pounds this summer. *rolls eyes* That sounds so lame. I have lost one pants size, as well. I guess that's something. I feel like it's going to take 10 years to get off this 50 pounds!
I am looking forward to seeing my kiddos again and get the year started. I feel like I have picked some great music (plus a fantastic musical!) and I can't wait to dig in! Here goes my third year!
