I honestly cannot believe how long I've neglected this journal.
Or how long I've neglected this goal of mine, I should say.

It was probably only the first week or two that I felt guilty or remembered at all that I was letting my priorities fall away from this Lightning Up thing... after that it was just a little too easy to get swept up in the busyness of life. We did have a busy spring. And we've been enjoying our summer to it's fullest, keeping busy and spending most of our time in between at the pool.
And I've actually been maintaining my weight, not gaining any more and at least not worsening my habits.
But after and especially hard on myself, PMS'y, bloated week, I'm ready to resuscitate my motivation here.

I walked a couple of miles with the kids in the stroller yesterday, since the early morning was finally cooler. If you consider 80 degrees cooler. I got a walking workout DVD from the library I'm going to start next week and hopefully use until we get some good walking weather on a regular basis around here. I'm not a fan of going outside and breaking into a sweat before I even start moving.

We'll be out of town this weekend, so I won't be weighing in again until the following weekend. Hopefully that will give me some time to really drop a few pounds.
