Summer in the Sun

With Steve (and a few other friends) at a restaurant in Montauk.  I am LOVING that beard he has going on!  I wouldn't have expected to, but it looks so good with his tan!

I've been a bad little blogger... but only because I've been out and about having fun!  My weight is holding at 154.6 (just .4 below goal) though I'd really rather see it about 4-5 pounds less than that.  Steve and I are sharing a house out in the Hamptons with a few other friends this summer, and between that and other weekend trips we have planned, as well as work, it's proving difficult for me to get in to do 3-4 workouts.  I've been more on the 2-3 front.  And, that is exactly why I'm on the high end of my "safe" weight zone.  Exercise is absolutely the key to maintenance for me, just as it was the key to getting to goal.

So, I'm trying to make sure I don't get off track this summer.  The weekend before last, I'd scoped out a spin studio and a yoga one near our house in the Hamptons, and got the schedules for both.  On Saturday, I rode my bike over to spin for the 9:30 class.  I didn't love the class.... the bikes move from side to side (So-u-l C--ycl-e has stationary bikes), and I found these ones hard to manage.  Whenever I'd pedal, the seat would hit my thigh as the bike rocked from side to side.  It was annoying, and I had a hard time keeping up my cadence with the bike moving so much.  I also was a little concerned that I'd get some weird bruise on my thigh!  (I didn't.)  It was still a good workout, so even if it wasn't my favorite, I'll go back again next time I'm there.  We also went on a bike ride to hit the shops in East Hampton, and I bought... for the first time, EVER, a pair of white jeans at Tory Burch.  (I'm wearing them in the photo, but you can't see them.)

So, why did I buy those white jeans?   Wellllll, because they fit great and were really cute ... and because I may have completely forgotten to pack anything to wear to cover my bottom half for Saturday night.  Oops! :)

I have to run, but just wanted to say hi and post a quick update.  I've been reading everyone's blogs and posting here and there.  But, with being out of town so often on the weekend, it's a challenge to find time to blog!  Will try to do better!
