Tired and loving it!

I made some goals for myself this Summer and I thought I'd share it with my loyal readers.

1. Start running. Currently this goal has been accomplished to date but it does not mean I like it. Sure, some days are easier than others. I am far better than I was 2 years ago. The other day I was crazy enough to look up races. The plan is to do a Turkey Trot. How fun! There is one close to here and one back home so wherever we may be, dang it I'm running! If anyone is wondering, I REALLY hope it's in California =)

I also am working out more since Summer is like crack to these people in Michigan. Seriously you can't walk down the street without seeing 5 dogs a walkin, 4 runners running, 3 bikes a cyclin, 2 couples in love, aaaaaaand an iccccccce creeeeeeeam truck for yooooooou and meeeeeee. (What? I had Christmas on my mind...)

Fhew...

Seriously though, volleyball is 2x week, I'm been running 3x a week, I start cardio karate on Monday, dancing/boxing with the Wii, and weights at the gym are all part of the plan. I mostly like all of it. I think my knowledge of food being a nutritionist now makes things a little difficult. No diet soda (gives me heart palpitations anyway) no soy "meat" (ladies look into it, your hormones are effected with everything you eat!) no hfcs in my yogurt (yes I know it comes from corn...I don't just listen to what the commercial from CORN companies tell me.)

I'm exhausted thinking about it, but so far I've had a lot of fun challenging myself. It was a long Winter too, so this makes up for it.

2. Lose some lbs. And the SOME part I am so happy about. Before it was lose a LOT. The SOME I can deal with. Right now it's looking like...eh, I dunno... 10 to start, 15 if I want to be an overachiever. I'm not overweight like before so these are what Jillian calls "vanity pounds." You're darn tootin Jill. I want my butt singing!

3. Move smoothly. Recently Taylor and I found an apartment across town. Not nicer but a. it's across the street from our good friends b. about 4 mins from church c. closer to work d. closer to school e. closer to everything cheaper f. indoor pool g. smaller = less to clean. Oh, and we'll be saving about $350 a month. Looks like this will be our place for the next 3 or so years! Basically the goal here is to NOT do what I did last time by waiting til the last minute and freaking out. Sigh.

4. Eat at home more. Healthier, cheaper, safer really. I've been banging out some bomb recipes and getting really good results. Taylor sounds like the scene from "What about Bob?" If you haven't seen that movie, please do yourself a favor and watch it. Other than a few swear words, pretty squeaky clean and hilarious!

5. Take care of myself. Ooohh...oh no, burn, SO uncomfortable saying that...I HATE TAKING CARE OF MYSELF. I would so rather think about or help someone else before myself. But I'm taking the plunge. I'm getting my hair did on Saturday and it will be a HUGE change. I will try to post pictures if I'm being a good little bloggy girl. We'll see.

There you have it. Do you have any Summer goals? Why or why not?

Tomorrow I will post of the 5 things I do NOT plan to do this Summer. Til next time!
