I've done well with my eating so far today, AND I walked 2.5 miles! I just returned and I'm about to do that arm workout on youtube. We shall see how that goes!
Another part of my "get fit" goal for summer is to get more spiritually fit. I have neglected to spend quiet time with the Lord lately, and today was a great day to restart that commitment, too. It was great! There are lots of things to pray about lately, and it was refreshing to take time to do so.
Until next time...

Get Fit!
I have been waiting for June 1st for about two weeks. Today is the day I restart eating healthy. This time for real. Between July and December of 2011 I lost over 20 pounds! I was so excited! I've gained about 13-15 of them back. since Christmas. I gained the weight because of the "I'll start the diet tomorrow and eat what I want today" mentality.
Instead of wishing that I had made better choices in the last 6 months, I am ready to lose the weight again! I pray that I can lose it as successfully as I did the first time, but I am worried. I do not worry as much about keeping it off this time. I'm tired of feeling this way, and I loved how I felt 15 pounds lighter!
The Plan:
Food - I will follow the 17 Day Diet, which works well for me when I stick with it.
Exercise - I will start going to Curves again. I will plan to go three times a week and supplement with walking and other things to stay motivated. My workout plans aren't solidified yet.
I hope and pray that I will have the support that I need to stick with it this time! My sister's upcoming wedding is also a bit motivating, .which is why I've chosen the following arm workout for today's "keeping it pinteresting." (One of my top goals for summer is to try many things that I've pinned or repinned on Pinterest.)

Until tomorrow... or maybe Monday. :)

It's {almost} Summer!
I am mostly looking forward to summer. When you only teach music 2 days a week, it makes the school year go way too fast. Since it is here, it is my goal to make the most of it! I think I want to make some sort of check-list or "summer bingo" so that I can accomplish the things that I have been putting off until I have more time. This post is just an announcement of the list to come.
A preview of things this blog is about to include: house projects, gardening, thrift store finds, pinterest ideas, recipes, and more!
This blog probably needs a redesign as well... something for the list!
