Obviously...I need to start going to the gym

This past weekend we went to Buttermilk Falls in Itahca, NY with some friends. The weather was lovely...80 and overcast, with a slight breeze. At the bottom of the trail was a watering hole, for swimming. I was really bummed that I didnt bring a swimsuit. I knew there was a place to swim, but assumed it was mid-hike and thought that if I was hot enough I would do what we do in the south and jump in fully clothed. Well, apparently "up here" they dont do that. So I had to settle for watching from the side..but next time, I WILL be jumping off that diving board!!

The hike was steep, and included something 200 stairs (and Im only slightly exaggerating) About halfway up the trail, I had to sit down and rest for like 30 minutes...I swear I thought I was going to die. I know Ilker really loves me when he just sat with me...not making me feel like an idiot for being so out of shape, until I was ready to continue on. The sites to come were beautiful, and were so worth the steps! It was a perfect day spent with friends...cant wait until our next trip :)

However...I realize that I need to get back into shape...so this weekend starts the getting in shape for our wedding extravaganza! Wish me luck :)
