A quick recap for those just joining us -
I am up 16.8 lbs since Sept 2008. I am not happy about it.
Told you it would be quick. I keep my promises.
So, what am I going to do about it? Glad you asked!
- I am going to weigh myself in every Thursday morning and blog about my week.
- I am going to blog one day other than Thursday every week, whichever day I feel like it.
- I am going to post a short and long term weight goal before my next weigh in.
- I am going to post my exercise plan before my next weigh in.
This blog's purpose is to fulfill promises 3 and 4 of my action list above.
SHORT TERM WEIGHT GOAL - Lose 16.8 lbs by June 3rd
LONG TERM WEIGHT GOAL - Lose 20.8 additional pounds by September 22nd
EXERCISE PLAN -
- Get at least 3 miles in 6 days a week any way I choose as long as I work and sweat(elliptical, treadmill, outside, walking, jogging, running, incline, etc.)
- Get 1 mile straight run for time in 4 days a week
- Do 40 push ups and 40 full sit ups 5 days a week
Since I know you all are extremely concerned with every aspect of my life, I am sure you are wondering what I am going to do about my eating habits.
The truth - not a whole lot. I have been doing pretty good in this area. It is definitely the exercise that I have been slacking on.
I have been getting my butt kicked by Torture Tara for an hour a day, two days a week, but I haven't done anything else. Now, Torture Tara is one heck of a trainer, but she ain't no miracle worker. Two hours a week leaves 166 hours to play around with and lately I have dedicated ZERO of those 166 to exercise.
Some people, when they are in a slump, need to be around others for motivation. Me, being the type of girl who's dream weekend would be one where I stay home and everyone else goes on a trip, needs to take a time out from group fitness to refocus.
So, tell me folks, what kind of goals, short and/or long term have you set to improve health?
*If you are in the Louisville area and need that motivation that only comes from being around other fun women, you need to hook up with Torture Tara. Email me at michelle.l.castano@gmail.com and I will gladly hook you up with the torture.*

Is this Healthier Chelle: Sexist Edition?
Because of the plug for being around "fun women" at the end?
What? My married younger brother doesn't want to come work out with some fun women?
Very happy to have you back! Hopefully it will help motivate me to lose something!
