#116 The Hump Day Post

It is the middle of the week, so that means it is time for The Hump Day Post. Today is also the first day of Summer. Well if you are from the deep south like me, it feels like summer has been here for about a month. It is time to bring out the sunscreen and put on those hats cause I have a feeling that this summer with be a HOTT one.

Before I dig deep on all the weight loss talk I plan to share, today is also a very special day for two people in my life who mean a great deal to me. Without their support on this weight loss joinery, I don't think I could accomplish all that I have.

On this day in 2008, my sister was gearing up to turn the page to the next chapter in her life. She was about to marry her best friend. For on June 20, 2008, my sister wed her husband Jeff. It has been great to watch their love grow even more in the last 4 years. I want to wish them many many more years to come. I hope that God blesses them with those years. I hope that one day I will find someone like my sister has in her life. I wish them both the best on their special day.
First Kiss as Husband and Wife
Now Back to the subject at hand: My Weight Loss

My birthday was Sunday as many will know. Although I tracked, I still pretty much ate what I wanted to. Since then, I have felt so guilty. Yesterday my dad said (to make me feel better), "you are only 27 once in your life." My reply was "I will be 27 for the next 364 days: I didn't have to eat all that I ate in one day." We both then laughed.

To combat my guilt, I spent the last three days exercising and not drinking a single diet coke or eating any fast food. I am so proud of myself for yesterday. We had a family birthday party for my little cousins. I am proud because I didn't have a single piece of pizza or a slice of cake with a scoop of ice cream. I went inside and fixed myself a turkey sandwich and a glass of water. I think that is the most willpower I have ever had.

My Activity this Week so Far
Monday: Zumba
Tuesday: walked/ran/jogged for 34 minutes
Wednesday: Zumba tonight

In closing, next week I will be in Walt Disney World. That means there will be no blog posts next week. Lets hope that I can not go crazy eating all that food in Disney. Until next time.
Have a great day!!!!!
