With summer comes some of my favorite things, camping, kayaking, hiking, swimming...I cannot wait to spend some quality time outside. It also means that I need to restart a habit I found myself in last summer, jogging. For months I jogged 20mins everyday, around 2ish miles, before work. I miss it, weather got wetter, and my bed got easier to stay in. After the initial uggg I had at the beginning of my routine, I was shocked to found I really enjoyed it. In fact, days that I didn't start off with a jog I just kinda felt icky. Didn't manage to jog this morning, but I did manage to spend some quality time playing fetch with my best girl this afternoon. tomorrow, her and I start jogging again.

weight: 284

I am now 26, upper 20s....yikes. I had an amazing weekend full of friends, strangers and a shit ton of booze. And despite a whole lot of swimming and dancing, I managed to put on 7 whole pounds... almost the amount I had lost in the past month. whoops. Despite the great times, I need to severely cut back on my drinking, if not quite. That's hard seeing as I work in the liquor industry, and I'm going to Vegas in a couple weeks...but I have to put in the longterm over shorterm pleasure.

today: 286lbs

I am happy with a lot of things in my life, but my weight I have never been comfortable with; its been a constant struggle. I need to get it under control. Not just for self esteem and appearances, but for my health.

No more making excuses, no more delay...I need to force myself to make changes and stick with them. Hard work and sacrifice will all be worth it in the long run. It has to happen, this has to work, I really don't have any other choice.
