Outside


Summer means being OUTSIDE, well to me it does. I find so much joy in being outdoors. Recently all I want to do is be outside in the sunshine. Maybe it is because the weather has been terrific or maybe it is the freedom of summer. My summer has so much freedom. Freedom to do exactly what I want when I want. Freedom to be exactly who I am.

Today my daily dose of sunshine was a walk around town lake. Theresa and Chandler graciously joined. I don't know why I don't go run/walk around town lake more often. We went from 6-7pm, which is the perfect time. It was beautiful. The sun reflecting off the lake is magical. Running just seems easier with a view like that.

I took a pretty artsy picture of Chandler. The picture explains Austin. The breathtaking view with the "Keep Austin Weird" phrase. It seems fitting. Before and after our adventures at town lake I was babysitting. I got paid $95 today. All I really did was watch some TV. Yup I know, rough life.

I counted my 50 minute walk as my workout. I put on my heart rate monitor to make it official. It was not a great walk as I only burned 260 calories. My food intake was on point today though. I need to find better food options so I don't always have to eat the same thing. Maybe I'll work on that tomorrow. After the two graduations I will be attending. Until tomorrow.
