july 23

July 23  YIKES! I've almost forgotten to blog this week! It's been very very busy at work, and very very hot as well! As you all know! What a crazy summer! I've been able to make it to Perry to work out 3 times this week. I even made it there yesterdsay morning by 5:15am! It was a great work out! As far as losing pounds, I think I'm only down a couple again this month. I did go shopping last night to buy more shorts, and I was able to go down another size smaller!! YEAH ME!!! I haven't fit in a size 12 since jr.. high!  The funny thing is, as I was trying them on, and I was looking at myself in the mirror, I saw the same person I was last year at this time. To me, I don't look any different. I feel much better, I don't have as many aches and pains, and I definately have more energy! But I think I still look the same. I'm not sure where that's coming from, or maybe I'm expecting to look like one of those super models, and I don't. And I know that's unrealistic expectations for anyone. I don't know, maybe it's how I feel about myself inside... Something I need to give some thought to..Have another couple crazy days at work, then by Tuesday things will calm down for me! (I can't wait)! It's neat to see the green shirts around town from the Johnnycake Jog. They're good conversation starters, and I can say, Hey I was there too!!! I'm still taking Zumba on Tues and Wed. This Wed is a day off, and she'll start up again Aug. 3 for six weeks. It's at Painesville Twp. Park Community Center on Hardy Rd. and it costs $30 for 6 weeks, or just $7 for walk-ins unless you bring a friend then you each pay $5/class.. It's a work-out, and so much fun!! It's a great stress relief as well! Because most of us try to keep up, and can't and we end up laughing a lot!! I really like it though! I hope everyone has a great weekend! 6 more days until our final weigh in!! i"m excited and sad at the same time. This has beeen a wonderful journey, with a great bunch of people!! I can honestly say that I will miss this when it's over!!!!
God Bless everyone, and try to stay cool!!!!
