Friends, I am a couple ounces away from the 25 lb weight loss mark. Very exciting moment for me. It's been really slow going lately for several reasons, including a vacation where I spent a week stuffing myself and drinking calorie-laden pina coladas, and the constant high temperature outside. I just don't feel like walking several miles when it's in the 90s, you know? So this morning, I tried something different. I made my butt roll out of bed at 7:30 and I took Tino on a walk before it got hot outside, carefully avoiding areas that looked like they might be hiding wasp nests. And it felt good to know that before I even made it to work, I had already gotten some exercise in, so I think I'm going to try and make morning dog-walking a new habit.

In other news, I'm headed to Tulsa tomorrow for a few days of work and to spend some time with the fam on Father's Day. We're going to make our traditional Father's Day menu for Daddy, and I'm going to hang out with my seven-week old nephew! Crazy how fast the summer is going by.

Have a good one!
