So, the first week of summer is upon us, and it has been put to it's full potential.
Starting with a garden full of berries, veggies and herbs, that will be ready to fully enjoy in a few days time :)
I went on my first boat ride of the summer. Even as a (nearly) 24 year old, when my dad makes me man the wheel of the boat, I feel like a 5 year old sitting on my parent's lap helping them pull the car into the driveway. And, although terrified (as I don't like driving- land OR sea), it's a moment between a father and daughter that I can't put into words, and one that I wouldn't trade for anything. His hobby, his moment of peace, his get-away, and he's sharing it with me. Just a dad, his little girl, and the open waters.
With the first week of summer, came my first dip in the pool, a round of indoor-s'mores, and the ultimate realization that I need to kick my *self* (not my first word of choice) into gear. Since the closing of "Fiddler On the Roof", thanks to some very gracious and wonderful cook cast mates, hoarding the dressing rooms with delicious snacks weekly, I come to find that I have gained a very uncomfortable 10 pounds. (a gain that might not seem much to most people, but it has definitely crossed my "I-never-want-to-weigh-this-much-again" line. Before the summer is through, I hope to have made it back down, and then some, and hopefully back into dancing shape, or whatever dancing my 2 left feet are able to muster. Tomorrow morning I'm making a long past due appointment with my Wii Fit personal trainer, running to my local Weight Watchers' meeting, hitting my favorite bike trail, and smiling through it all. ..That's the plan, anyway.
Tomorrow's challenge: My little cousin's High School Graduation party. Where there will no doubtingly be some great BBQ followed by some even greater desserts.. May my 100 calorie packs and WW IPhone app be my guide.
peace, love and (unwanted) pounds
