Summer Time and the Livings Easy

Excuse Me While I Take a Deep Breath...
I am so so so so so so so happy that I can finally say that it is summer time. Although I knew that nursing school was going to be tough, I just never knew how tough it was going to be. Being in school and trying so hard to get good grades and finish my first year strong was mentally, physically, and emotionally draining in every way imaginable. I am so glad that Bryan was able to ground me when I felt like going off the rails like a total nutcase!

Anyways... enough about nursing school. I am pleased to say that for the first year in my life I have been able to stick to my New Years resolution.... If I hadn't deleted all of the comments below you could have seen just what I am talking about, but if you know me I am a control freak and I could not add a new post on here with months in between this post and my last post... Soooo I went ahead and deleted all of my (fantastic)  past posts! For those of you who do not know my new years resolution was simply to become a fitter and more healthier me. If you know me I LOVE to (overindulge in)  enjoy a beer or two (yeah right...More like 3 or 4 or more...) from time to time, along with my belief that I am a wine and food connoisseur. People should really start paying me for this passion!!! Well... jokes a side. I have been putting limitations on my "forbidden fruits" and only enjoying them for "special" occasions and I have been exercising even when my busy schedule was telling me I shouldn't be. And..... I am now 13 pounds lighter than I was on January 2nd. Although I am not 100% satisfied with my body, and I do not know if I ever will be 100% happy with it. I can say that I am a much happier and more confident person. Don't give up on your goals people! Every little change seriously does make a HUGE difference, and change is not going to happen overnight... consistency is key. Myfitnesspal has really been my saving grace, It keeps me accountable and keeps a log for me to see how I am doing.... changes are I am not going to reach for a cold brewski if I have ate my allotted calories for the day in pizza. If you want to follow me my name on there is aimeelou2323 I would love for some more support and I would love to support YOU!

Bryan and I are going to my parents house tonight for a cookout. My dad is going to make "chicken bombs" on the big green egg and I am already confident that they are going to taste fantastic. I am so happy to have my weekends back for a few months, and just be able to enjoy my sweet little family with no school stressors. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and Happy Mothers Day to all of my MILF friends, and Moms Mums to be! :)
