Summer Maintenance

So looking at the calendar with Tim this weekend and realizing that the next 12 weeks are going to be basically coming and going from one vacatoion to the next I have decided to focus on maintaining my weight.

I am still holding steady at 150, and when I measured this morning (a few days late) I measured 1 1/2 inches lost. So that was good news. I lost the inches in my breast (thank god!) and my arms.

I am calling the next 2 weeks "Operation Clean Sweep!" My house needs a major overhaul. I was so busy getting things ready for the yard sale we had this weekend that my house has suffered. I am bound to burn calories bending, reaching, and pushing all sorts of household cleaning items.

So Im just going to have to rely on good food choices and restrain. It is super hard though....I must be deliriously happy right now and just enjoying my summer with AT bc those margaritas sure are good after a day at the pool ;)

So where are we off too you might ask?

Trip #1: Ravenna/Rootstown, OH (didnt you know.....its the new Myrtle Beach ;))

No really its where Tim grew up. We will be there for the 4th of July holiday. Im looking forward to it! Something about greandparents and wanting to have full attention of their grandchildren 24/7 is awesome! I get a mini break. Im sure we will hang out in the hot tub, break out the kiddie pool and just enjoy family. It really is a realxing time....even though its in the middle of nowhere ;)

Trip #2: Atlantic Beach, NC

This wasnt on the agenda for Summer 2009 but some friends invited us so we decided to take them up on it. It will be a weekend trip Thurs-Sun but tons of fun I'm sure. Just enough to get us through to the next break ;) It will also give me a taste of what to expect of AT at the ocean since he is a bit more mobile now.

Trip #3: Hilton Head Island, SC

Im so excited about this trip I can hardly stand it. AT will spend his 1st bday in a place that is so special to Tim and I both. Tim and I were engaged on top of that very lighthouse in this pic. I cant wait for a family photo atop of it! Tims parents, uncle and sisters family will join us at a rented house in Sea Pines (with a pool!). Im getting a little sad about planning AT's birthday celebration but I know I need to enjoy "my baby" while I can. It will make it even more meaningful having our small group together for such a special day.

So you see?! How in the world can I possibly stay on a cycle that wont be interrupted?! Im going to take this summer in stride and make a pact to just not GAIN anything! Get in exercise as much as I can.....be it walking, running, swimming, cleaning, etc. etc. Just get something in! So for now.....I will unpack and repack all while counting steps on my pedometer!

Im so excited!!!! This is going to be the best summer yet!
