i may not be blogging for awhile, due to the fact that i recently (read: yesterday) agreed to a teaching position at a summer camp in the pocono mountains until august 14th. it's going to be a really good opportunity for me to use some of my teaching skills while enjoying the summer in a place that's a little off the beaten path. i've wanted to work at a summer camp for the past couple years too, and this just kind of fell into my lap.
they are funding my plane ticket out there, my room and board, my food, and they're paying me a decent amount on top of that for the seven weeks that i'll be there. i guess that's what happens when you're certified to teach. :) i'm finally beginning to reap the benefits of people realizing that i'd be a good candidate for teaching. it also helps that they need someone starting wednesday of next week and i just happen to be available for the rest of the summer.
have a great summer!

break on through to the other side
the scale is the bane of my existence. while this sounds quite melodramatic, i'm being quite honest. whenever i click to blogger, i want to start each entry with: "i weighed myself today and...." look back, and i'm sure you'll see a ton of my entries that contain that phrase. i try to blog when i make progress too, so usually it's more of a quasi-bragging moment and not an i-must-smash-the-scale moment.
today the scale wavered on 179.6 and 179.8 before settling on 180.0 lbs. i'm so close to being under 180 again and i'm really pumped about it. seems that the walking and sweating i did while in pittsburgh helped to let me lose a little weight.
i walked last night with the puppies and i swam at the gym today. i've noticed from looking at some photos from my pittsburgh weekend that i need to step up my game again when it comes to ab work. well... toning in general would be great. i think the hills gave my calves a workout whilst walking, and i've actually seen a difference recently in my right calf that has never made a full recovery since atrophying during my foot surgery in 2002.
i'm not using my surgeries as an excuse anymore. i'm done with that. i'm young and i deserved to be happy and feel good in my own skin... in a bikini. is that too much to ask? :)
