Entry 312: Living in the moment

[Silver]

It has been about a week since my last posting so I thought I'd update today! It was Michael's Birthday on Monday and it was a good day. We had some beef sandwiches for dinner and I had some cake. He had to work but when he came home I had Silver greet him wearing a sign saying Happy Birthday; it was cute.

These past few days I haven't been keeping up with my lemon water/green tea but today I started back on it. I have been going for walks since it has been gorgeous out lately! The past couple walks I went on were with some friends and I really enjoyed myself. I hope to have many more with them! I still have yet to go for my first bike ride of the summer. If it's nice out tomorrow maybe I will go for one. I have been really enjoying life and have been spending a lot more time outside! I have gotten some sun, that's for sure! I'm crisping up nice lol...

Last week I went swimming with some friends at an indoor pool and it was so nice to be in the water! I can't wait until I go swimming in a lake for the first time this summer. It always makes my hair feel healthier and my skin feel great. When I went swimming last week I put on my old swimsuit and I was surprised how loose it was on me compared to when I wore it before. I used to have a hard time fitting in it! Now I am trying to pin the excess fabric back. I had gotten a new swimsuit for my Birthday this year but it still is a bit too small. If I keep up the activities/exercise I will be able to wear it comfortably soon!

I still haven't stepped on the scale. I have been going with the flow of things and have been enjoying it! I have been feeling confident with myself and am ready to take on the summer; head on! I plan to go on many more walks and do many things! It is going to be a memory maker year for me :-)
