Yeah.  I totally have to start dating my post titles, because I copy old ones for templates and there are now enough old posts to be overwhelming instead of simply confusing.

The Ready for Summer challenge is on.  Summer?  Honestly, folks, it’s upon us here in Texas.  We had summer storms last week complete with tornadoes, and the heat isn’t too far off. Mosquitos are relishing the fact that rain has returned to our drought ravaged corner of the world, and they’re coming out of dormancy with a vengeance.  I swatted one the size of a bumble bee yesterday.  Add to all of this the fact that Christina covered the grey in my hair painted in my annual highlights, well yes, Summer is officially here. 

See?  Thanks to the magic of chemistry, that pesky grey is now cleverly disguised as shimmery gold highlights. Yes, I have naturally curly hair.  It’s annoying, especially on humid days.

So how did it go with last weeks mini goals?  Hmph.  Considering that I couldn’t even find the post with last week’s goals in my post list, well, let’s just pretend I’m redoing the previous week’s goals, okay?

1. Weight loss – One pound. Nope.  Didn’t happen.  Happily Maintained.
2. NSV – Eight Hours of Sleep minimum every night.  Sadly, this did not happen last week. There were too many late evenings involving both work and fun stuff.  
3. Exercise – Four days of cardio and two days of weight training – Ooooh….this one slipped a bit the past week.  By Tuesday morning, I was terribly sore from my biking accident, so I was a good girl and took it easy while the muscles and bruises healed. I did do a Crossfit class on Thursday, and it went well!  It was an evaluation type workout, but I was able to finish in a respectable amount of time.  Then I spent the entire Saturday at a bike trail workfest at Gateway Park. Lopped lots of privet, hauled fallen limbs and trees off the path, and did quite a bit of digging and shoveling as we repaired benchcuts along the path.
4. Nutrition – Eat more Veggies, and cut back a little more on the processed carbs that are trying to sneak back in. – Score!!! 

Don’t Lose Track of Your Goals.  Keep the Faith.

The Architect is an amazing artist, and he’s about to be published for the first time!

He created a logo for the upcoming Fat Tire Festival, and it’s going to be plastered all over town, on posters, post cards, flyers in the bike shops, and beer pint glasses.  Uh, yeah.  Pints.  They will be used at the festival to serve refreshments to the adults. I’m pretty sure we’ll be able to snag an extra glass for The Architect to keep, sans the beer.

Be Proud of Your Kids.  Keep the Faith.
