Back on the Wagon

Sorry for the delay in updates! Nick and I are still in the process of unpacking all of the things we spent weeks putting into boxes! We are also still waiting on our cable and internet. (I'm blogging from work... shhh... don't tell!) When Nick called today, they told him they can't come until next Thursday. They are lucky he called them- because hell hath no furry like a woman without tv and internet! Actually, it doesn't really bother me that much- I can now go do things outdoors- but I still think it's ridiculous! We will have been in our new place for nearly THREE weeks by next Thursday... On second thought, maybe I should get that number from Nick.

I am disappointed to report that I have nearly gained back all the weight I lost last summer. I'd love to blame it on something or someone else, but I think it has more to do with my love of biscuits and gravy, pizza, and ice cream than with anything else. So, I'm back on the wagon- I'm going to behave myself! I have all these cute clothes I've been saving because I just know I'm going to get back into them!! So that's my goal- by summer's end I want to wear the shorts that I have kept from 5 years ago... so I can justify having moved them in a box 5 times! To get myself off to a good start- I took a late lunch after our staff meeting and went to the YMCA. After I was done huffing and puffing my way through a treadmill workout, I was changing my clothes. The little summer campers (I'd guess about age 5 or 6) were changing into their swimsuits for swim time. The little girl in the stall next to me was having some trouble getting hers on and she says "I just can't get it to work! I think it hates me!!" I couldn't help myself, I replied "Oh honey, it's ok. We all feel that way about our swimsuits."

Happy swimsuit season!
