Rejoice with me sistas!!!

I have done the impossible!!

At least it seemed to me :) I bought myself a treadmill and started walking four weeks ago! I disciplined myself and walked everyday for at least 15 minutes but averaged 20+ minutes, and ran for about 5 minutes of that(had to start off easy). I did this for two weeks without weighing myself (I had Michael hide the scale). At two weeks I was feeling stronger and better. I stepped on the scale (cuz I found it, not cuz Michael told me where it was). I waited patiently as the numbers blinked...and...I GAINED 3 POUNDS!!! I was devistated!! Now, most of you know that I have struggled with my weight for several years. Up, and down, and up again...and well...mostly up!

I consoled myself with an eclair! Not the best decsion but hey, I forgave myself. I missed a couple of days on the treadmill but talked myself into realizing that the weight gain was probably muscle building. Right? I did feel stronger. Heaven knows I probably didnt have much muscle under there :). So, I got back to it! I started walking more and running more of the time. (I have also been eating good and drinking lots of water). I decided that even if it wasn't going to result in weight loss, it made me feel better and I would keep it up...Okay, yeah right! I wanted there to be weight loss!

Michael hid the scale again and I got back on the treadmill. I put a movie on my computer and watch as I walk (it is also a great time to use my teeth whitening strips). It has now been a week an a half since my devestation. I have notice that my pants are starting to slip, in the downward direction :) ....now, not to get too personal here but...as I was getting ready for my shower, I realized something....girls, I hope you can relate at what a big deal this is...

MY BOOBS STICK OUT FARTHER THAN MY STOMACH!!!!!!

At least when when I stand up. My next goal is to have them bigger than my belly when I sit. Baby steps Chelsie, baby steps! Anyway...I found the scale again (he doesnt hide it very well, cuz I dont even try to find it, I just happen upon it). I have lost 5 pounds! Its probably water weight but who cares cuz the numbers on the scale were smaller either way.

No matter what, it is part of my morning routine now and I feel so much better. By the reunion I should be smaller! That would be so fantastic! And Hillarie...if I keep this up, I might be able to jog with you at Chelan!! Yay ME!! *patting myself on the back*

I know its probably vain being so exctied about this but I have to rejoice in the small successes!!

Cheers!!
