Summer time Blues

I love hot dogs.  I mean I REALLY love hot dogs.  A perfectly toasted bun, ketchup and chopped raw onions..my mouth is watering just thinking about it.  Of course a little scoop of macaroni salad on the side helps make the meal.  Oh wait you say there is corn on the cob please pass the butter, salt too.  I need a drink now...perfectly chilled Sam Summer, don't mind if I do.  Don't forget ice cream later.  Its so hot out ice cream would be perfect!  I must not forget the amazingly awesome fried seafood options during the summer.  Fried clams, steamers, lobster ALL served with perfect onion rings or fries.  I wait all year long for the delicious taste of summer.  Beach, cookouts and fried food equals my heaven...

Wait but it wasn't supposed to be like that this summer.  I was supposed to just keep loosing weight like I was and be down to 50lbs+  lost remember? Skinny Bride was conquer the world this summer and make it look easy.  People told me that winter was the hardest time to loose weight, boy were they wrong.  Spring and Summer have been the hardest to keep up with my schedule of workouts and healthy eating.  The winter there are no softball games twice a week.  In the winter I work till 7pm or 9pm and no one is out doing fun things.  They are home in bed trying to stay warm.  Workouts in the morning were easy because I wasn't getting ready to go to the beach or cookouts etc. 

I must say I haven't fallen off the Skinny Bride train completely.  I am doing a great boot camp in the morning with my friend Jenn and Amanda.  Its a great way to start my Tuesday/Thursday mornings.  I feel good about myself after I do the class.  I have a free pass if anyone wants to try it. Message me for details.  I am also throwing in tiny workouts during camp.  I park the van further away from  our destination or we go hiking or walk around for at least half hour.  I had a parent say to me "I don't know what you are doing during camp but PLEASE keep doing it.  She is exhausted every night." 

So from this point on this Skinny Bride is going to pick up a notch again and start to get some ass.  Grabbing the bull by the horns (whatever they say) I am currently at 41 pounds since this journey began.  4lbs+ from the best weight I have had so far along the journey.  I am hitting 50+ by labor day.  9lbs.  I think this will help me kick my summertime blues and get me ready for fall.
