Sweet Summertime

Hello Friends! 


Well, tomorrow marks the official celebration weekend of my best friends wedding! I'm soooo excited! It's going to be a great weekend spent with friends and family. We actually started the wedding festivities this past Tuesday when we went to Holiday World for Rachel's Bachelorette party. I know, why Holiday World? Well, because it's fun... DUH! haha. We had a blast... perfect weather until the end of the day. The water was just warm enough and the lines were not bad at all. Tomorrow, we're starting off by going to get our nails and toes done, then going to rehearsal, and then dinner at Dimaggio's! YUM!! Then, the girls and I are going to spend a little time together the end of the night. I guess you can say it will be one last girl's night before the big day! :) 


So, what have we been up to? Well, it's summertime... so of course that means absolutely nothing! We have no to-do list these days... so it's just rest and relaxation. Although, I don't think Mommy relaxing is a top priority for Gabe. But that's ok... I sure do love chasing my little man around. He's so much fun to play with! He comes up with new things everyday to make me laugh... there's definitely never a dull moment in this house! I love it! 


I can now say that I have successfully lost 10 pounds and kept it off for the past couple of weeks! I'm sooooo happy! I'm really proud of myself for sticking to this diet and working out. I can't wait to get to my goal weight and feel healthier. Actually, I already feel quite a bit healthier. I've been drinking lots and lots of water and trying to eat better as well. I can definitely tell a difference in myself... so I'm waiting to get to that point where others can notice the difference too! The spinning class is definitely working well... I actually look forward to going now! So, next week I am re-joining weight watchers to help me reach my goal weight. I know, I know...why pay for it when you can do it on your own? Well, it's really about the accountability that it provides. I like knowing that I have to weigh in every week... it helps keep me motivated. So, my goal is 15 pounds a month from now until August. I know it's not going to be easy... but I'm so determined. I've been going through some old clothes and I can't wait to fit into them again. I put on a shirt this week that just last month fit just right... and now, it's too big! Nothing like that feeling...definitely helps to keep me motivated as well. 


Anyway, Jesse brought home a letter today saying that the company he works for is hosting their annual picnic at Holiday World in August! YAY!! Best part about it... It's FREE! I can't wait to go... hopefully I'll be able to wear my bikini then too. Stick to my goals and I will be able to! :) 


Well folks, that's about it for tonight. I got to get up early for spinning class and then it's off to do wedding things with Rachel! Have a great weekend! I'll post pictures on Sunday from our big weekend! :)
