Oh Hi Summer, How Are You?

Summer is officially here. That means what exactly? Longer days. Warmer weather. Bon fires. Camping. Fishing. Oh...and no more Home Depot!! For those that know me, I have been working at Home Depot for almost a year. This was due to the fact that last year at this time in my life things weren't so great, and I had to support myself a little more than I had planned. Almost a year later, my life is back on track (for the most part) and I have no need (well I mean everyone loves "extra money") to stress myself out and work 7 days a week... so today is my last day.

Now that I will be back to being a 9-5p, Monday thru Friday working girl...I am already planning what to do with my "free" time! First on my list is starting back up with my walks with Michaela (Monday-Tuesday are all yours baby). Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays are going to consist of lawn / house work... as I have been working so much and spending less time on these agenda items, it is going to be a lot of WTF's (literally and figuratively) to get this done! My weekends...well those are reserved for Shaun and the kids. I'm hoping they are full of day trips to the lake, beach, whatever body of water we choose...camping, and lots of fun!

I also need to get back to some sort of workout regiment. While walking Monday's and Tuesday's will be good, and house work / lawn work is always a workout -- getting back to the gym is a must. Or if not the gym, setting something up where I do it at home (and stop paying for the gym I no longer go too!). These 30 day challenges are good, and have worked for me in the past, I may check them out again. However, right now at this point in my life... I'm back to around 195lbs and you know what -- I'm happy. Don't get me wrong, there are times where I want to cry (and do) because the clothes I bought don't fit anymore, but I'm happy. Now I just need to work happy & healthy together... and maybe get Shaun to come to the gym with me (I mean I did do a whole weekend at a baseball tournament)! hehe.

Just a short Hello Summer blog. I'll keep you updated with my summer slim-down, camping trips, and any other major milestones along the way per the usual!
