so a couple of days ago i received my lovedrug sweatshirt! very excited to finally have it, although the weather has been a bit warm for sweatshirts lately...
my theme for this summer is going to be balance. after working way too many hours last year, i've decided i need to take better care of myself and to protect from burnout. so far, so good. but our first summer camp has not yet started...
i'm really enjoying having all of our summer staff here and the life that each one of them adds to this camp! i love hearing their stories and seeing them having fun! Its going to be a great summer!
today, i weighed myself. haven't done that in about a week or so. and to my surprise, i had lost 5 lbs. in order to try and be healthier, my sister and i have taken to walking 4 miles 3 to 4 days a week. all this mixed with a diet low in fat and full of veggies has brought me to a weight that i have not experienced since junior high. its so nice to buy clothes that are half the size i once was and to feel healthy and happy. its not always easy to start, but the result is well worth the effort in the end. :)
todays blog is going to be a bit random, but that's how my mind works, so i suppose its fine for me and the few people who read this. haha.
plus i'm listening to the pirates of the caribbean soundtract (curse of the black pearl) and realizing that if i had to pick a soundtrack for my life it would be this. a little dark and mysterious and full of adventure!
over the past 4 weekends i've seen 3 movies. thor, pirates on stranger tides, and most recently, X-men first class. so far they have all been great summer fun, and i'm still looking forward to many more to come. most notably, super 8, harry potter and winnie the pooh.
a life lived with no regrets is the best and only way to live life. i'm learning that again this summer. to put the past hurts and pains behind me and just to enjoy each moment as it is given and if in the end i am left with a void, at least i have some great memories to remember. plus i think when you know change is coming to a friendship it makes it easier to prepare for. and its not that the friendship is gone, just that it moves on to new chapters that can be exciting for all.
right now my mind is being distracted by fall family day and thinking about the awesome time of year that comes each october! best time of year by far! and i'm planning some new things for this year to help it be just a little bit different and better than the year before.
i think i have an obsession with recipes and cooking. haha. it makes me happy to cook for others, and one day it will make me happy to cook for a family of my own :)
