Shake it like a polaroid picture.....

For those music buffs, such as myself, I assume you KNOW where I got the title of today's posting......right?!?!? If you are not so "dope" as me (that means cool BTW), you should google it and feel enlightened. LOL

Update on weight loss and workout regiment:

Still losing (not enough) and loving my workouts. I am running every other day and doing cardio and strength training in between. So weird---I HATE to sweat normally, but LOVE to sweat when I work out--- go figure.

Oh well.

It has officially begun!

I'm {officially} back to running.

The word "officially" is in brackets due to my enormously out-of-shape self.

I started with the 1/1 scenario (one minute run; one minute walk) and did 3 miles last night. Wow--believe it or not, it was a bit easier than I had expected! The treadmill is usually more difficult for me as opposed to running outside due to the "boredem" I experience while running in place for 45 minutes. However, given the 100+ degrees outside, I can deal with my mundane surroundings. [smile]

Speaking of 100+ degrees....summer is here in full force! And with the heat comes our annual mohawk hairstyles. Jake's mohawk is about 6 inches high and black and gold; and Nick's is about 3 inches with a touch of green. I have become the family hairstylist...and have become well-versed in liberty spikes and french braids (ha!).

Our family just returned from a WONDERFUL vacation with 19 of my family members, including my parents, my siblings and their families. A great time was had by all. In fact, it's amazing how well we all get along. All the cousins are very close and they take good care of each other. We played lots of games, played golf, swam, etc.

Here are a few pictures.

I am definitely blessed to have the family that I have.....

fondly,

Vacation is over...

I'm back up a couple of pounds---but this is post-vacation....so I'm not too upset. Started running again, so it should start declining.

Signed up for a 10K in September....Yikes!!
