The greatest three months of the year are upon us. June, July and August have the potential to be remarkable every year. How will you remember this summer?<\/p>\n
My plan for the season is one of torturous magnitude as I am dedicating this summer to my body: no sweets, no sugars, no blue cheese and no fast food. I also plan to do something active outside everyday, whether it\u2019s hopping on a bicycle, walking to UDF or going fishing. I am not spending my summer on my couch smothered in air conditioning.<\/p>\n
My plan isn\u2019t exactly glamorous, but that\u2019s the beauty. Your summer shouldn\u2019t represent relaxation or comfort because that\u2019s what the winter is for. These next three months should make people fiend for the outdoors.<\/p>\n
Ohio is not the most comfortable state during the summer months. The humidity can be over-bearing at times. I can\u2019t let that stop me, though. Excuses only slow achievable goals.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not immune to mistakes. My biggest flaw that I cannot escape happens every Tuesday night around 11 p.m. A few friends and I huddle in circle and destroy Frickers wings like cavemen. I said I would cut out the blue cheese and that\u2019s as far as I\u2019m stepping. Cutting out Frickers is completely is out of the question.<\/p>\n
The beautiful days of this gorgeous season shouldn\u2019t be flushed down the toilet. When I was 11 years old, I sat on a couch and ate popcorn every night for an entire summer. I gained 30 pounds. That\u2019s an embarrassing fact; but I\u2019m ready to give that weight back on a silver platter.<\/p>\n
I want this summer to mean something, and if I have to give up enjoyable and tasty treats along with the comforts of my couch, I\u2019ll accept that.<\/p>\n
