Oh yeah! Celebrate with me y'all!

I have passed the halfway point! I have less than 15 lbs to lose! WOOHOO!

Considering my big time struggles earlier this week AND the fact that I still have my monthly friend visiting, I am one happy gal!

*jealous alert - don't hate when you hear how spoiled I am*

I was really stressed about the weigh in last night. My weekly Sunday night foot rub was just what I needed to melt all the stress away. My man in DA MAN!

I actually did really well on Friday and throughout the entire weekend.

I went and worked for a friend on Friday. She has her own cleaning business and cleans some (HUGE) houses here in Louisville (one of the houses was for the Border family, as in Border's bookstore).

I packed a nice healthy lunch - a turkey sandwich on whole grain with mustard and provolone, an apple, carrots, a cheese stick, and some gum and mints. Five of us were piled into a Volvo and around noon they decided to "get some grease" as they put it. Where did they want to stop??? You guessed it, my "Golden Arch" nemesis.

Did I partake???

Hecks-to-the-NAAAAAAAW!

I have worked too hard to sabotage myself this late in the game!

I took my own advice - I started reciting my goals to myself -

What am I doing this for?

• To have a healthy life for myself


• To promote healthy living for my kiddos


• To inspire others to live a healthy life
  

I want me and my family to continue to look this good!

When I got home Friday afternoon I was starving. We had some yummy citrus chipotle turkey fajitas and a nice relaxing evening at home. It was raining and stormy and it felt good just to be home and chill.

Saturday was rough for me. I was suffering from the worst PMS symptoms I have ever had. We attempted to go shop for a few home decor items on our list but of course nothing was good enough for HELLthy Chelle :)

Saturday was a running day and I SO was not feeling it...until I remembered that my awesome cousin Kristol sent me a new toy in the mail...

I finally own an MP3 player!

So much cooler than the Walkman I have been using!

She even got me one of those carrying cases that goes on your arm. I have been stuffing that bulky Walkman in my bra for almost two years now. I can't believe it still works.

So, I used my new MP3 player on Saturday and hit a new PR on my route. Coincidence? Me thinks not!

We went to the Derby Part at church on Saturday. I did a good job of not pigging out. They key was not to get there until about an hour before the actual Derby, then you don't spend the whole afternoon snacking. Susan taught me how to play DDR and although I still stink at it (my best grade was a D) I got my heart rate up for a second or two. I look forward to being invited over to her house to practice (hint, hint Susan).

Yesterday was just a plain ol' good day. We did church, had a nice lunch, and spent some time on the couch reading the paper. Leslie called at about 3:30 p.m. and although it was an off day I chose to go run with her.

I impressed myself with my physical activity last week -

• 12 miles in 2 hours and 14 minutes


• 1800 calories burned


• 700 crunches


• 50 push ups
  
• 1 jump rope workout


• resistance band training


• ball training

I am proud of me!

So close to the 100's ... will it ever get here?????

Just give me a few more weeks!!

Try these and FLY!
