I don't have a title for this one...

So, it's summer...finally :). I don't really like summer all that much, but it sure beats spring a.k.a. gloom town. I didn't end up going to see the doctor, although I probably should have. I'm definitely going to go next spring though, and especially now that I know when it happens I can set the appointment up ahead of time.

But SAD wise, I'm great...none of it in sight, thank goodness. The sun is doing wonders to my mood.

This summer I'm working with my chiropractor 3 days a week, who is also a personal trainer with a nutrition program. It turns out that I have almost no curve in my neck, with is causing me to get a pre-mature dowager's hump. Ummm, yeah...no thanks. It will take two years to fully go away, but it's already going down, slowly but surely. This lack of a curve is also causing a bunch of other stuff in my back and body to be screwed up. It's been affecting my adrenal glands which, together with your thyroid, make up your metabolism. I haven't been able to really lose wight like I wanted, so this could possibly be the reason. I'm taking some suppliments, which should help some, I'm on a diet, and working out 5 days a weeks. It's going to be hard but I've discovered that wedding magazines make it a lot easier to stay focused at the gym :). Looking at all of those skinny brides, really does motivate me...not that I want to be super skinny, but I want to love how I look on my wedding day.

I'm also taking a summer class on African American Literature, which is proving to be facinating. Right now I'm learning about Frederick Douglass. Did you know he married a white woman, after his first wife died, and that he was in his 60's (old enough to be her father)? I sure didn't. He's led a pretty interesting life and I'm learning a lot. I have to admit though, some days I have no motivation whatsoever. It has nothing to do with the topic, just the fact that it's summer and I would love nothing more than to sit around all day on my computer and stumble and watch old movies. I'm getting to do a little of that, but not as much as I want.

Later, I'll post some stuff about my training and maybe some before pictures.
