I miss my bloggers

Wow, I realized that I haven't posted in over a month! Well I've been busy, the hot, hot summer is breezing by and I have been loving it. The last few days has brought spring-like weather and I have been enjoying my evening runs. Even after walking SIX FLAGS all day with kids yesterday I couldn't resist going for a run when I got home. The good thing is hubby runs with me most of the time and it is showing on him, he is shedding some pounds. What have you been doing with your summer? I hope making changes that aid in a healthy lifestyle, moving your body and shedding the pounds you have been saying you are gonna take off every summer! Well start now! If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. Start slow...take baby steps. We always get pumped and try to go hard with the exercising or start eating like a bird then you wonder why you are tired and burned out and just give up. Take it slow, start with eating what you have been eating but less of it, then maybe hold the cheese or eliminate the juice and drink water with your meal. Make the small changes first and ease yourself into a rountine of making choices. Plan ahead! Always have something healthy to eat with you so you are never hungry and keep your motabolism up by eating a small snack every few hours. Give up processed, pre-packaged and canned foods, these are loaded with sodium and unnatural additives, yuck! Don't give in to the office donuts or eat the ribs at the 4th of July cookout just because they are there. Tell yourself you love yourself more than the hunk of cake and walk away then pat yourself on the back and not give a flying freak who sees you! LOL! Try it!
