I can't believe it is the middle of July already. We have had such horrible weather you would never even know it was summer. Unlike some of you folks, we have only had a couple of really nice days. I'm really missing it as it is hard to get the motivation going to get walking or running outside when it is pouring rain.
My update for the Long Hot Active Summer challenge is going to change a bit. I've not been weighing myself and I don't plan it for some time. I will weigh for the final week and hopefully I will see a change but right now I am NOT focussing on my weight as much as getting my butt back into gear and working out.
My weight today is: ??
Exercise Minutes July 7th-13th: 305 (225 Quality, 80 Walking)
I'm still not happy with my exercise minutes. I went from being a nut in Apr/May/.5 June until I got sick with this cold (which I still have by the way). My get up and go, got up and left. I've got to catch up with it and tie it to me again. I'm struggling getting up at 4 - in fact my tiredness has been winning and I've not been very successful at getting up that early. I get up at 5 because I have to leave to get to work but I struggle with sleepiness when I get there. I'm not sure why I am so tired.
My strength training workouts have been good. I'm at the gym a minimum of two hours twice a week and I'm working hard. After last Thursdays leg workout, I could hardly walk this past weekend. Climbing in and out of the trailer (up and down the stairs) was challenging and on Sunday we went fishing and we walked a trail that was down a fairly steep hill. I did OK going down, but on the way back, we got separated from the guys so I carried what felt like a 30lb cooler back up that hill.... along with the dog, two fishing poles & net. It was tough. Fortunately we got back to the vehicles before it started to rain or else that hill would have almost been impossible for me to climb carrying that cooler.
The wedding was a lot of fun but a little strange at the same time. It's not every day you party with your BF's first ex-wife and her BF. There were lots of pictures taken with my BF and Ex with newly married couple and us outsiders (Her BF and myself) were kind of left to the side. I did get in the pictures (and so did he) but it was just weird being there on the sidelines. I must admit I didn't like it much.... which I think is perfectly normal. This weekend's wedding is really going to be weird and I'm nervous as heck about it......
I hope you all have a fantastic day.

Sandra, I can't say I blame you for being so tired. I wouldn't be able to get up that early either. When I hit the weight training pretty hard, my body gets super tired too. More water and more sleep seem to do the trick. I love it too though because when I wake up from a really good night sleep after weight training, I feel lighter. Love that! :)
