Time to Get Focused!

Tomorrow is the first day of the new month, and my first day back into my good health routine. Summer was wild...Summer Reading(work) kicked my butt,  and my focus slipped away from my healthy routines. I don't think I did terrible this summer, but I know I have gained some weight...more more importantly lost my healthy living focus.  I stopped watching my food intake, and the heat kept me away from working out regularly. But tomorrow is a fresh start...I am back from vacation and refreshed.  In the morning, I will weigh myself, and move forward from the slip up of summer.
My goal is to get to 175 before Christmas!  Time to get focused!

Three Things Thursday

1. Only 2 more days of Summer Reading Program. It has been a great Summer at the library, in fact I think this has been my favorite SRP in the nine years I have been in charge of it. But I am ready to move into the normalcy of Fall at the library :)

2. Saturday Tommy and I leave for Asheville. I am excited about get away for a couple of days.

3.  I have neglected this blog for most of the summer, but when we get back from vacation, I hope to get back into a more regular blogging routine.

Three Things Thursday!!!

1. One week from tonight my beloved Big Brother will premiere :) I am so excited!  It is really the only show I get addicted to...and I LOVE it!!

2.  Workouts have been awesome this week! Glad to be back in the groove!

3.  I am winning the war with Milky Ways!  Thanks for all your support :) LOL

The Enemy

I am an ice cream girl. It is usually my sweet of choice. But I rarely keep ice cream at my house.  I am not much of a cake girl....unless it is my birthday. I adore cupcakes...but only buy them occasionally if it is girl's night. And I have never been one to eat candy bars...UNTIL RECENTLY.  It all started back at Easter...when we had an Egg Hunt with friends. Tommy bought some Milky Way Minis to fill our eggs. I found about 4 eggs that contained Mini's and over the course of a week...ate and enjoy my treat. At the end of the week, I mentioned how much I LOVED Milky Way...who knew? And he told me that he still had the rest of the bad in the freezer. That bag lasted until close to the end of May....I had one mini every few days...and it was great. A little treat. Then he came in with 2 more bags...because they were on sale. I started popping one everyday. Then we were out of town a couple of weeks ago, and went into a target that had them clearanced down to $1.36.  I started LOADING DOWN THE CART!!!  I came to my senses and put back all but three bags. That night in the hotel I popped one after another into my mouth...I couldn't stop...and I haven't until yesterday.  THIS IS WAR!!! NO MORE MILKY WAYS!!!  Yesterday I managed an entire day without 1 piece...VICTORY! I threw what was left into the freezer...I don't like them frozen...but Tommy can still eat them.
My Mission....one week with no Milky Way!!! If I can detox away from them for a week, I think I will be good. I will have won the Milky Way War. I will keep you updated! :)

Three Things Thursday

1. Tommy and I are planning a little vaca at the end of July (when Summer Reading ends). We are planning to go to Asheville NC for a few days...and then one night in Gatlinburg, TN. We went to Asheville as we road tripped our Honey moon and enjoyed it...so we want to go back. Have any of you visited Asheville? Is there anything that we can't miss!?

2.  I think I tweaked my knee during spin class last night. It hurts...tonight I am doing strength class, but may have to take it easy with the squats.

3.  I NEED to drink more water.....I have never had a problem with water until recently. MUST DO BETTER!

Still Kickin'

Hey everybody! Just wanted to drop in and say I am still movin'!! :) Things have been crazy...and my time for blogging/reading blogs has been cut short. I am still moving along the path of good health. I'll be honest and say that for the month of June, I decided to give running a break...was starting to feel a bit of burn out. So instead, I have been walking and doing spin class...and plan to fit a ZUMBA in there before long.
In July, I will hit the pavement/treadmill again. Thinking about starting fresh and doing Couch to 5k again to work on speed, or maybe another 30 Day 1 mile challenge. Something to shake it up :)

Hope everyone is having a great Summer! Work has been wild. We have registered almost 1000 kids for our Summer Reading Program.  If you have kids, you should sign them up for your local reading program. Keep them learning during the summer! Let them read irresponsibly (what they want to read, not necessarily what is on their reading level...or maybe some non-fiction titles about areas of interest.)  It is amazing how much progress can be lost during Summer Break.

June Boom Update

When I committed to June Boom, I had to name something I would do in June that I had been putting off. I am proud to say I have an appointment with a new doctor. This is something that I have NEEDED to do for MONTHS because I have been so frustrated with my current doctor. Thanks Alan for giving me that needed push to get it done :) My appointed is scheduled for August. I will let you guys know how it goes.

Had my second "gym date" for spinning with my new workout partner tonight. We killed it :)

Emailed the dance studio about the Zumba class. Hopefully will be marking that off my Summer Fitness Bucket List soon!

Hope things are going well with everyone!
