Hump Day Healthy Thoughts: Beach Edition! ? A Taste of Taylor

Good morning everyone, happy hump day! It looks like it is going to be a scorcher here in Baltimore? I wouldn?t complain if today hadn?t been such a good hair day before I stepped out into the humidity :( #bummer

Oh well, I?d much rather be hot than cold! This is the kind of weather that I dream about on those freezing cold days in February!

As most of you who regularly stop by and check out my blog probably know, Wednesdays mean that it is time for Hump Day Healthy Thoughts!

I was quite excited when I sat down to start blogging this morning and realized that 3 weeks from today I will be at the beach right now! The beach is one of my favorite places in the world and most of my favorite and lasting childhood memories are from our family beach vacations. As I?ve gotten older, the anticipation for our yearly summer trip has become clouded by my desire to be ?bikini ready?. It has been a really long time since I have let someone photograph me in a bathing suit or felt good enough to walk the beach confidently even thought I have never even been remotely close to being overweight!

Well, this year I am proud to say that this is no longer the case! I have made some serious lifestyle changes in the course of the past year, including starting the Tone It Up plan and it?s corresponding clean-eating diet. I have also started to use the weight section of the gym and shed my fear about weights bulking me up! I am more confident than I have ever been and I can honestly say that I am looking forward to being able to get excited over the course of the next few weeks rather than worrying about having to get fit quick!

I usually go to my pin boards to share some of my favorite health and fitness inspiration with you all for Hump Day Healthy thoughts. In thinking about what has inspired my healthy attitude towards going to the beach this summer and staying committed to the healthy lifestyle I have adopted, here are three thoughts that I would like to leave you with on this hot & humid hump day! I hope you enjoy them, I?d love to hear what you think or if they inspire you in similar ways ? ENJOY :)

Questions of the morning:

Would you rather be super hot or super cold?

Do you have any lasting memories of family summer vacations? Do you have any beach plans on the agenda for the summer?
