Ode to Summer

Goodness! I can not believe that it is time for shorts and tank tops already! Been putting it off as long as I can... but I think Mr. Reality is gonna visit me real soon!
Last year, I had an excuse for being heavier than normal... I was pregnant... (wonder if that excuse will fly this year? probably not!)
This year, well... I still have a battle of the bulge that is going on across the wide expanse of what used to be my figure! I have discovered that not only did my waist line expand, but so did my thighs and my arms... on the positive side, I now have enough extra fat cells in my arms now that I have built in "water wings"!
I really had a sobering expierence last week. Photos of me, taken in a swim suit at this present weight. Not a pretty sight... (I can't even justify it by saying " the camera adds ten pounds") since then, if I feel like jumping off program, I just remember those photos or worse yet, I look at them... helps to keep me true to my self!
Even though my figure is hibernating this year, I vow to wear my larger shorts and be proud of how far I have come and not linger on how much farther I have to go!

Enjoy this summer to the fullest! Cool

We're expecting snow tomorrow night : (



Out of our beliefs are born deeds; out of our deeds we form habits; out of our habits grows our character; and on our character we build our destiny.
