Summertime Beach Bum

Lately I have been doing something different with my workout routine and nutrition. Regarding nutrition I have been doing much better regarding snacking, and sticking to meals and two snacks. The extra snacking was really hurting me, so its better now that it is more under control. Fitness: I have all the workouts from my trainer, and I have them all written out on separate pieces of paper and labeled with a number. Now the workouts are all about 30 minutes since that is what my training session is. I have been starting off by getting on the treadmill for about 30 minutes, and walking on an incline. Sometimes ill walk faster, or increase the incline, or even run. Then I pick a routine from my trainer and do that the second 30 minutes. By the end I am so sweaty and gross, but that means it was a good workout. Mark and I used to go for walks, but lately it has been so hot and humid we haven’t. But I started that routine about 7 days ago, and since then I have lost

I had said for a while now that I wanted to get all the bridesmaids together for a weekend. When I was talking to Marks sister she suggested we look for dresses since we will all be together. We actually managed to all find a weekend that works. At first my MOH was not sure if she would be able to make it, but now she is, and I cannot be more excited! So Columbus weekend, Oct 10-11 we will all be getting together. First I was trying to find a hotel that would hold all of us. Somewhere that had a suit, pool, and hot tub. Everywhere I called was completely booked! I mean, yes it is a holiday weekend and yes I was looking on the outskirts of Boston, but really? So then I found the courtyard in Andover, MA that had a suit available where it has 2 queen beds, and a separate living room with a pull out sofa. They have an indoor pool and hot tub. So I was so excited. I immediately put a hold on the room. Then it was time to find bridal salons that were in the area s

Mark, Mom and I went to the cape from a Thursday to Monday for a long weekend. We ended up staying at a campground called: Cape Cod Camp Resort. From looking at it online, there were tons of things to do. They had 3 pools, a pond, paddle boats, movie night and the prices were not bad. When we first got there and were assigned the camp site, we pulled up to it, and it was a giant hill. There was nowhere to put the tent or table or anything else for that matter. The one next to it was empty, so we called and we were able to switch. The bathrooms: well when we first got there they were very clean and we were impressed. By the end of our stay, there was mud covering the floors! At least I hope it was just mud :/ The pools: So there was a kid area and a 21+ area. The kid area had a large pool with a water slide, and a little kiddie pool plus a splash pad. The pool was slightly cooler, but it was nice. Mark went down the slide once. The adult pool had a very warm (im talking

I had done very well with my health and fitness. I had lost 32 pounds in just about 2 months. Then i went away camping for 5 days, and when i came back i was only slightly higher than when i had left. But since being back it was extremely hard for me to get back on track. I went up to about 28 pounds lost. I have maintained these past two weeks, but have not made any more progress. Tomorrow i am getting back with my trainer, so i am hoping that will help me get back on track. On Monday 8/3 i found out i was approved for my vacation in November. Mark and I will be going on a cruise to the bahamas. I am so excited, but of course i want to look good in both my formal evening wear, in the bathing suit and in all pictures. The other thing i have as a goal is that Mark and I are taking our engagement and save-the-date photos. So i ordered a dress the other day off amazon, and it came in the mail today. Now it is slightly too big, and with my pics not being taken for another 2 months, i k
