Weigh-in Wednesday (on Saturday?): Week 5 of 10

Hi team. Sorry I've been MIA but this summer schedule is hectic to say the least. If you call hectic spending nearly everyday from 11ish till 4ish at the local pool drowining in chlorine and then house-wifing it for the remainder of the time while simultaneously trying to cram some actual work, work in. But it's been a blessing spending so much time with the little man. Speaking of time, I can't believe it's only 5 weeks until I get my toes back on Montenegrin soil!

Also sorry about throwing my WAJ commitment out the window but i seriously don't have the time (or haven't made the time). But I've been doing well. I am still hovering in low 73 territory with perhaps 1 day of cheating a week. I do need to break that number and will persevere with renewed energy this week. I am not feeling bad about this stalemate only because I have been regularly "doing my exercises" every night. Except for last night when I opted out and opted in to an ice cream bar instead...ha!

I smell like chlorine. I reek of it actually. I cannot imagine what it's doing to my skin and hair though I am trying to exfoliate and expensive shampoo myself from top to bottom to avoid any long term damage. Look at the chemical concoction I'll marinate myself in to keep the little man smiling. Am I a great Mom or what? ha!

Well that's all for now. I'm sure I'll be back to regular blogging once summer's officially over. In the meantime, I'm enjoying my time "off".

Hope you're all doing great and the sun is shining wherever you are. xo

I too have slacked off - both in the blogging department and the weight loss area! But its summer, and that means we get a break from all things stressful. Or at least, that should be what summer means. With the kids home and the schedules we so carefully maintain gone out the window for a few weeks, we deserve some time to let it all hang out.

Glad to hear you're enjoying your "free" time with the little man, I bet it will be a summer you will both remember for a long time.

Take care and have fun - once the Fall arrives it'll back to the grind for us all!!

Been missing you, but I get it with summer being busy and all. :)
Also, try eating 2000 calories for a week every day and then bump it to 1200 for a week. That will break your plateau.
