A little dose of summer

Finally! Heat! I'm one of those people who wishes Canada could swap places with Mexico, so I jumped at the chance to spend the day outside. My extremely furry black dog is not as excited about the weather as I am, though.

In other news, I started a food journal in order to help me with my weight loss goals. It's a huge eyeopener as I didn't fully understand what I was eating everyday and how much. So far, it's going well. This makes for a very pleased Karissa.

This is insane!

This place certainly looks a little dusty...

I know it's been forever since my last post. To be honest, I forgot about all of my UBBT requirements for 3 months/ stopped caring, but coming back to this blog reminded me of how I'm not utilizing an important tool. All I can do down is pick up from where I left off and not give up.

School has been over for about a month now. To my surprise, I survived and feeling pumped for next semester! I learned that I am lacking severely in the category of time management and I can procrastinate like no one's business, but hey, this experience is a learning process. Knowing what I need to change in order to do better makes for a more optimistic view of the years to come. Now I just need to make sure I do what needs to be done instead of talking about doing it!

In other news, I got a new job at the Devon pool. I really lucked out on this one. Great pay, outdoor pool, suntan, and lots of swimming lessons! It will be a different experience teaching outdoors but I'm up for the challenge. Though I must admit that after 4 months of no swimming my front crawl is a little rusty...

Until next time....
