DOWN one lb this morning! Feels good. Went for a wog before breakfast/work. The weather is cooler now in the morning again, so it is "enjoyable" to be out there. I only went for 25 minutes and this seems to work that I can do that and get home to get ready for work, eat breakfast etc.
Yesterday afternoon we went for a swim and I was playing some games with the kids and my endurance in swimming is much better. Can't wait to tell my swim teacher. Only two more weeks of lessons, but I can incorporate what she has taught me in my swimming now!
Need to work on my water! Goal 10 glasses a day. I'm at 3 now!
Dnephew's wedding has been postponed so we are at a loss as to what to do on our vacation week the last week in August. Still looking for ideas. I thought we would just go to Tenn and visit my folks, but DH says that is not a vacation. I know what he means. I still want to hit the beach, so we may drive somewhere beachy (North Carolina probably - Outer Banks). Other options include Quebec City (I've never been or the kids and I know the boys would LOVE it) and then PEI. Last summer we did Maine and Cape Cod and that was fun.
It looks like I may be going to Colombia in November with my parents. I grew up there (in Cali - that is why I use Calena as my name here) since Mom and Dad were seminary professors there. Now they are invited back to do some graduate seminars and I am thinking of going with them. Have not been back in about 13 years! It has become so dangerous and stuff, but now things are suppossed to be better. Anyway, DH says I can go with his reluctant blessing! I would not take the kids, but I am really looking forward to going and just "being there" again. At the same time it is not a real safe destination and I know I would not have the freedom I used to have to go places etc. Anyway, still in the planning stages. IF I do go I would love to be at my goal!
Which is actually quite doable, she keeps telling herself as she eats her tuna salad and jogs down the road!
