Sweet Summer Time...and an Update!

IT IS SUMMERRRRRR! and I could not be any more excited! It is time for weekly FREE Jazzercise and Zumba, Vacations, the Lake, field trips with the boys, tanlines, swimming, and extra time for workouts! I am getting more and more motivated and ready for more weight loss!

Since my last blog, which I am ashamed to admit was 6 months ago, I have officially hit my goal of losing 50 lbs (twice)! I lost, gained, then lost again, officially finding myself consistently under the 50 lb mark. I also achieved a fitness goal by completing the Louisville Triple Crown of Running. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. It was emotionally and physically draining but amazing all at the same time.

I know that I said I would be cutting my hair off as a reward for losing my 50 lbs, but a wrench has been thrown in those plans...My hair dresser is unavailable to cut my hair and I am scared of allowing anyone else to do so; however, don't worry! I have rewarded myself with new clothes since most of mine don't fit anymore!

I have lots of things coming up, My mom's side of the family is getting family pictures taken, my immediate family is getting pictures done, my best friend is getting married, and I will officially begin my final year of undergraduate education! SO! I want to be the best version of myself,  I want to be happy when looking at all those pictures, and proud of my journey in its entirety when I walk across the stage at graduation. It is time for me to use this summer to my advantage! I have decided to follow my rules completely for just a week at a time and am ready to begin working out more often as well!

Monday I will start weekly Jazzercise and Zumba, I want to start walking more, utilizing my gym membership, and getting more serious about this since I have the extra time in the summer! I will also blog more often so that all of you can help to push me and motivate me if you would like! Sitting on the couch and dreaming of the things I want to do and actually doing them is difficult for me. Lately I have constantly thought well I could do this, and this will help, but doing it is a whole other obstacle but I am going to set some goals for the end of the summer. I have to think about what they are but as soon as I do I will blog about them next week!

It is time to get more serious! If anyone would like to join me you're very much welcome to!

Love you all!
