Not much is new in my life. I’m finally done camp and will be back at school starting tomorrow I’m hoping to get into a nice routine balancing school work, healthy eating and exercising. Every school year I strive for it, hopefully this is the year I achieve it!

I’ve been doing well with regular exercise. I’m glad the pools are open again. I’ve been swimming about 3 times a week, jogging 1-2 times a week, but haven’t done any strength training in over a month. My back has been suffering because of it unfortunately. I really should take the cheap way out and strengthen my abs instead of paying to see a chiropractor once a week, but I’ve been too tired and lazy to do more than cardio.

Food-wise, I’ve been eating relatively well. Green monsters every morning with toast, lots of fruits, salads, wraps, yogurt. Unfortunately I’ve practically negated my efforts of the last few weeks in the last 3 days alone (maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it sure feels like it!). On Friday we had a brownie and cookie filled last day of camp party. Saturday was my mom’s birthday and we went to a Chinese buffet restaurant. Sunday, I had pizza (and not even the good kind. It was a Pizza Hut personal pan pizza) and m&m’s while at the movies. Today hasn’t been any better so far. Our neighbor brought over cake and homemade chocolate chip cookies from her daughter’s birthday party yesterday, and it was all very, very yummy!

Oh well. It’s still early in the day. I’m designating today an intense workout day. I’m also trying to guzzle water because I must be retaining a lot of water from the massive sodium consumption this weekend.

No pictures today as I get adjusted to my new laptop (got a Macbook!). The hard drive on my old computer kept falling out and was just so slow it was time for an upgrade. I understand now why everyone raves about macs.

Fingers crossed for a better week!!
