Hi everyone!  I apologize that I had to take an extended hiatus from writing on here.  I had to devote a lot of the time that I had after my last entry in March into preparing for my wedding in April.  Things have definitely been sort of a whirlwind since then and I've had to play a lot of "catch-up" these past few months.  However, I think things in my life are finally starting to calm down a little bit to where I can begin to reestablish a sense of a normalcy in some of my routines.

Anyways, for most people, Summer usually begins after Memorial Day weekend so I guess we are technically in the middle of the season.  Even though anyone can try to lose weight during the year, summer tends to be a good starting time for a lot of people given the longer days, warmer weather, and the fact that it is bathing suit season, which can provide some motivation/inspiration.  If you want to lose weight and have not started yet, there might be no better time than right now, which will give you a head start to looking and feeling better by the time bathing suit season comes around next year.

I hope that since things have started to slowly calm down a little and given that the days feel longer, I will be able to finally get "back on track" myself.  I want to start getting back to posting on this blog more regularly and to regain my focus and motivation when it comes to my weight loss regimen including diet and exercise.  Hope you are also still hanging in there and remember to stay positive (and cool) this summer!
