Summer struggles

I realize I haven't posted in a while and truth be told I have not been doing anything overly time consuming. As a matter of fact I have been procrastinating... With just about everything...
I had high hopes of being able to lose more weight this summer but with excuse after excuse to eat a variety of processed meats and dips with bread I haven't been able to do that.
Fortunately I can't be too mad at myself. I have been maintaining my 169 mark. I have managed to make it to the gym regularly which shouldn't be hard but when you don't have anything to do it's easy to put things off.
We have been busy with parties and camping and through it all I've been doing a little reflecting...
1. I can't believe my diet changes... This time last year I would have been sitting out with a bag of non-pairels ( those deliciously dark chocolates you buy in the bulk section from wegmans that look like large snow caps) and drinking my face of. I really have no desire to do either. Instead I regularly choose turkey burgers over ground beef and try to stay away from anything too processed.
2. I'm happy. With myself and where I am in my life. Are things perfect... No but, I feel genuinely happy with my life.
A year ago I couldn't have said either of those things but can now and that means more to me than all the weight loss in the world.
