School's out for summer!!!

Today marks the last day of the school year for my almost 2nd grader.  She has had a fantastic year.  She has become quite the reader, math machine, and spelling bee queen.  We were blessed with a fantastic teacher this year that was kind, patient, open, and most importantly good at what she does.  Thank you Mrs. Woods.

1st day of Kinderten
As I drop her off this am, I can't help but think of her first day of Kindergarten and how much she has grown.  Everyone knows that time moves quickly, so I am looking forward to enjoying every day of the summer. 

Emma's Summer To Do List:
1) Paint in Art Classes
2) Plant more Flowers
       3) Swim, and more Swim!

As I look over this list, it seems pretty reasonable, but I am sure we will find a few more things to add to the list as the days go by.  Until then, I like this simple plan. 

Last day of 2nd Grade

Summer is comin', Summer is Comin'

May 1st, the day when I go into panic mode about being in a bathing suit.  I have come along way in a year, but I decided to "re"dedicate myself and go after a new goal.  Even though I am NOT a fan of the scale, I have decided to see how far I can go with my weightloss.  Right now, I am one size away from highschool, but I want to see how "fit" I can get! 

Yesterday, I took little man to the park and got creative with some workouts.  I thought I would share the pics as my official "before" pics.  I will post later on the items that I plan to use to make it through the summer!  For now, enjoy this!
 
Park Workout

14 Sprint Intervals (30 second on, 30 second off)
Bench Step Ups
Tricep Dips                                  PlankWalkouts

 All in all, good sweat and pretty cute workout partner to help motivate me.
