Way back in June I wrote the following list of goals<\/a>. I started wondering how I was doing on them. Turns out, I’m not doing stupendously well!
\nThis summer I want to\u2026
\n– End with my weight in the 220\u2032s
\n– Run an average of four runs per week
\n– Hike to the ice caves (and other hikes too)<\/del>
\n– Go dancing at Neighbors (our favorite from our 20\u2032s) with an old friend
\n– Go back to naked spa
\n– Be a good kid with my food but balance the yummy stuff in too<\/del>
\n– Get stronger by using my weights an average of 3 times per week<\/del>
\n– Clean my kids\u2019 rooms
\n– Weed out my too-big clothes! They are everywhere!<\/del>
\n– kiss the babies and the hubs lots<\/del>
\n– Relax, laugh & have fun!<\/del>
\nThe crossed out ones are accomplished…
\n*I am not in the 220’s. Part of me is super peeved about this, the other part of me is cool with it. In September, my school\/work days will force me to schedule things a little better. That said, I’m doing well today and plan to continue to do well for the remainder of the summer. I still have two weeks. That is plenty of time to lose three pounds if I just pony up and do it. Determination…
\n*I’m at an average of three runs per week. I see that changing, though, since vacations and craziness is all over.
\n*The ice caves hike has been pared down by the parks service to a 1\/4 mile<\/del> * walk each direction. Because it’s such an easy hike now I’ve not been very interested in driving the hour to get to the trailhead. Isn’t that terrible? I decided the other day to plan it along with another short hike in the area so I’ll still get a good workout in. * I don’t know where I saw that- it’s an easy mile each way.
\n*My going-out buddy has been struggling too much with her depression so Neighbors wasnt going to work anymore. I substituted a teacher’s night out and a future celebration with a friend of mine who just got hired AND engaged. It’s not Neighbors, but it is going out and that was the whole point!
\n*There just never seemed time to go back to the spa. Sigh… Plus, I just like my family so much! It’s hard to leave them when I know I have to leave them every day for work in just a couple of weeks.
\n*My kids did a surprisingly good job cleaning their own rooms without my help! All the training has paid off! Could we be entering a new era? I hope so!
\n***
\nGuess what showed up at my door last week??? Here’s more motivation to end the summer at 225:<\/p>\n

\n6PM.com<\/a> was having some pretty awesome prices on wide calf boots and I took advantage. Remember how I was supposed to get ONE pair of boots? Ha ha ha! Yeah. I saw way more than one pair for my wide-calved, clown feet. They are beautiful and I need to lose seven pounds stat so I can wear them this fall!
\n*Interesting note- I think I will forever be a wide-calved girl. I notice that skinny jeans are always tight on my calves and as I keep getting fitter and smaller, my calves remain the same. I think being a bigger girl who has always been active compounded by my running means I’m just going to have cantaloupes back there for life. I’m cool with that. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
