So I must admit that for the beginning of June it has felt more like April. But for the past couple days it has felt like summer is trying to make its way through. I love being able to wear short sleeves and sun glasses. Now all that is left is getting my butt in shape for bathing suit weather!
Today was a busy day that started with Curves. Between my sort-of-weight-watchers diet and curves, I am hoping to drop those evil extra pounds that I put on during my first year at college. Well, more-so my first semester, but you get the idea. Weight watchers is great because it is really just eating whatever you want, as long as you stay within your points. (I have kind of moved out of that and into just watching what I eat…but if that doesn’t work I might have to jump back into keeping track) And curves is wonderful because all of the machines are there for you, and all you have to do is go twice around all of the machines. Not only that, but you get a tag which helps you track how well you did (like calories) and you a light flashes green or red on the machine telling you if you are doing the machine good or bad. And a lot of people I know have had great success with curves, and unlike a regular gym you don’t have to figure out what you are supposed to be doing, it is all mapped out for you. It is positively wonderful, and definitely a great work out! So I am sure I will post up every now and then with weight updates.
Then there was working at the lovely Stop and Shop. I was not really with it today…mostly because I worked my butt off (literally!) at curves. I was a little sore, and very tired. Let’s just say when 4 o’clock came around I was ready to punch out and drive home to take a rest!
Probably the most interesting thing was having a girl’s night at the at Stephanie, the children’s pastor’s, apartment. Most of the girls that go to our quest youth group were there, and we watched High School Musical 3, ate pizza, and just hung out. It was great to hang out with people from church outside of church, and just have fun with all of the girls. It is just a great connection to yesterday’s post about how friendly my church is, and why I love it so much.
I have to take a few moments to talk about HSM3. I think the movies are cute, but they are so completely unrealistic. Like in one scene, Troy claims he cannot dance, and two seconds later he and Gabriella are doing a perfectly choreographed dance. Or in another scene, Troy touches wet green paint and then a white pole–yet the pole gets no green paint on it. Of course it is all silly little things, but still so unrealistic. But the movies are cute–I still think that the first one was the best. Second would be the third…and I absolutely do not like the second. But they are cute, to say the least.
That is pretty much all that went on today. It was the first day that I really felt that I was starting to do something with my Summer. This past weekend and leading into this week seems like the first sight of summer I have had both with events, and also according to the weather. Hopefully it holds up. Unfortunately I heard the forecast is for rain! But, you never know. I am going to bed now, but until my next post–Happy Blogging!
