You have to look for Rainbows

Yesterday night while driving into our neighborhood after a weekend at the lake, we saw a double rainbow. Unfortunately, you can't see the double very well in my photo. 

I took two days off from working-out to enjoy the lake. I was still really sore in my abs from the longer planks and extra weights added to my ab workout at the gym. Monday morning I was right back at it. Just decided to bike the 7 miles to the gym/home instead of run.  It was hot and humid which is perfect biking weather in the early morning. 

Its my Evan day.. I bought him this new shirt and some jean shorts so I just had to try it on him. 

My plan is to take a lot of walks with Evan. I'm going to try that jogging stroller for just one mile around the block. 

The next 14 days till my birthday are going to be all about my diet which has not been all rainbows and sunshine. I've been treating myself to way more unhealthy foods like this caramel roll. This blog need to turn into not only a fitness blog but a what healthy foods I'm eating all the time. My goal is to just drop a few pounds a week.. slow and easy just like I lost 50 pounds. Time to get back on track with my food choices and cut way back on calories. 

I'm listing all the food I ate.. Hopefully, with a lot of photos too.
