No real change this week

I'm still hovering at this -19.5 mark.

We spent the weekend in NH with my folks, and I tried to remain focused on making good eating choices. Also went to a wedding and it was a bit more of a challenge there... yummy appetizers, plenty of wine, and, of course, wedding cake!

But the challenge right now is it is so hot! Hard to motivate to exercise when it's in the high 90's. Even though the gym is air conditioned, it's still too daunting. So, this past week or so, it's been exercise-free. I hope the heat breaks enough to get back on track next week, but I honestly hadn't factored in the heat of the mid-summer as being such a block in my ability to feel like I can stay on track. I know plenty of people will get up super early and do it (like my husband, for one), but early morning exercise has never been something I've been able to embrace. Maybe I need to try it once to see how it goes... but not until next week. (I know... more procrastination). I am hoping the heat breaks enough to go for a run outside in NH this weekend. I've finished Week 5 of C25k, but I may do some of it over -- I don't think I'm ready for what Week 6 has in store for me yet!

The highlight of the last few weeks has been the bounty from the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). A good friend bought a small share and asked me to share it with her. First of all, I can't believe how much food is in half of a "small" share! We have fresh produce for meals for 4 days, easy. Second, the food is so good! Salads, veggies for stir fries or other experiments... it's been fun to work through them all. One thing I can't get enough of are the peas! So good... and such a throw back to my childhood. What a great part of the summer so far, and such a big help to stay on track on the eating side!

Hope you all had a great 4th of July! I hope to produce some better results soon...
