Sweet Summertime

Well, almost 6 months into the new year, and, as always, some goals set back in January are obviously harder to keep than others!  The goals that I did and did not meet have surprised me, though.

I am thrilled to share that I ran my first 5k on May 12th, and I finished in 32 minutes!  I run over 3 miles daily, exercise regularly, and TRY to make better food choices (smaller lunches, more fruit and veggies for snacks).  Because of those changes, I have lost around 20 pounds!  I am back into sizes that just a year ago I thought I would never wear again (meaning that when I cleaned out my closet last summer, I cleaned out every item of clothing that I now need).  Chris is working towards running 3 miles as well, using the same Ease into 5k app that my friend and I used.  He's not as much into the racing as I am; he just wants to be fit.

Now, my goal of keeping up with this blog was much harder than I anticipated.  I simply did not make time for updating it.  SO, I am challenging myself this summer.  I am plotting a fun summer with my boys, and my goal-- dare I say and share it with the world because I will be held to it-- is to post at least one picture and story from each day I am in town.  Can I do it?  We shall see...

All I can say is that I am THRILLED that summer is here, and I cannot wait to spend time with my boys!
