WOW!!! What a whirlwind?!?! I'm just getting back to my normal life/routine and we got back from Ireland June 29th! Anyway...
It was a gorgeous trip!!! We had an amazing time and the best part was that my DH and I realized that we still really like eachother :) Really tho, I'm not kidding...with 3 kids and life sometimes we forget to even say hello to eachother. The 9 days (just the 2 of us) made us realize how well we mesh!
Getting back into the swing of things has been tough...my biggest problem is the pool! I LOVE our pool (private pool in our community)!! But I do not LOVE the snacking that happens at the pool. chips, Ice Cream, Nachos (with that horriable fake cheese...that is so good and gross all at the same time). I usually do well on Saturday but by Sunday my resolve has faded and I endulge. This wouldn't a problem except that I really need to stop losing the same 2lbs. I keep losing it and gaining it and losing it and gaining it. ENOUGH already!!! Exercise has been a constant as have Green Monsters.
This week I've been a Rockstar! Exercise every day! Eating lots of veggies! Not Snacking after 6p! GOOD STUFF!!! Now I just need to transfer this to the weekend!!!
Last night was my first night back to running with my neighbor,Terri (she was on vacay). I do more when I have a partner in crime! We timed our runs. I've signed up to run my first 5K...Race for a Cure in October...so we are training for this.
Amy reminded me that since my Ireland Trip is over I need a new goal...here it is:
I really want to be 199 by September 1st. (that is 15lbs). I have about 6 weeks to make that happen. This is a very strict plan and may not be feasible. I will re-evaluate next week (I need to break the 212 barrier first!!!!) I'm STUCK between 212 and 215. If I can have a good eating weekend, it may happen.
WELCOME GINGER!! Come on home Amy...I HATE DOING PAYROLL :) LOL

Welcome back! I'm so glad you had such a great time in Ireland (hard to imagine NOT having a good time, though).
15 pounds in 6 weeks will be hard--more than two pounds a week is really difficult, and even consistently losing two pounds a week is hard to maintain. When I'm working really, really hard at it and counting all of my calories and doing both aerobic and resistance workouts, I can only manage at best 1.5 pounds a week. Which is not to say you shouldn't set this goal--just don't get frustrated and give up if you aren't losing the weight as fast as you'd like.
Good luck!
Thanks Sarah! I agree!!! And Aunt Flow came to visit today. I'm thinking 10lbs may be more reasonable but I HAVE to break through this 212 barrier. Once I do that, I'll be on a roll. I keep losing the same 2lbs over and over!!! Thanks :)
