The many (borrowed) hats of Val

I made a post back in the winter semester about my night out with my roomie and the amazing game of hats I had. (I say amazing because the SHEER AMOUNT of hats I wore that night.) I was just going through my camera, and I realized that while the hat game is silly, it makes me smile. Why? Well, don't we all enjoy knowing that if we ASK for something, someone will respond and give it to us? I do. Sooo! Here we go.

Best Weight Loss Jump Start

If you've ever considered losing weight, I would highly recommend you work at a camp. Three meals you don't get to choose-- some of which you won't like and there may not be alternatives-- and constant walking will help zap the weight right off you.

I'm not sure how much I lost, but I'm fairly certain I've lost some. The real trick is-- how to keep it going? I've been stationary since camp has ended. I had a lot of sleep to catch up on! But I finally worked out again yesterday, and will do so again shortly.

I'm really impressed with the amount I worked out while I was at camp. Going to bed after midnight, waking up before seven, being active all day... And I still managed to work out for twenty seven days in a row. That's pretty rad.

Before I go, I want to share something that I think is really neat with you. At the start of my summer, I walked to the library. It is, I can safely say, a definite workout. I was having sort of a blah day, but when I came out of a bathroom stall I found a post it note on the bathroom mirror. It said "You are awesome!" It really perked my day up, and I found out it was part of "Operation Beautiful." http://operationbeautiful.com/ I think this is a spectacular cause, and I'd like to see some of these post its floating around wherever I go. Let's make it happen, yeah?
