lbs

today i want to go outside and soak in every moment of sunshine that washington has to offer. some times i forget that it is already june because the weather is so far from what i expect it should be (being a california girl and all). I have done my workout for the day and not it's time to grab a book, go outside, and just enjoy every second of this beautiful weather before i head to work. thank you washington for stepping up your game and giving us this beautiful day.

now as i have embarked on my track to a balanced, healthy lifestyle, i hope to be doing more outdoor activities to keep things fun. i've been revamping things for a few weeks now. i'm leaving for las vegas in 23 days and i am hoping to get myself a little more prepared for a bathing suit. it's been over a year since i've been in one in public & i can honestly say i am definitely nervous. i know if i kicked my butt everyday with a killer workout and ate like a responsible adult i wouldn't be having these nerves and my body would be much more acceptable. my laziness, procrastination, and my general lack of self-discipline are always an ever-present obstacle and making smart decisions are not always my forte. just trying to take it one day at a time. maybe i will see a tiny difference by vegas but i'm sure this ongoing process will take the rest of 2013.

motivated & hopeful,
m

ps i am on day 14 of the 'pinterest 30-day squat challenge' and having done 135 squats today makes me think that day 30 is going to be impossible. whoever made this chart is not concerned with people dying in the process. :)
