So today was the beginning of my third week doing Chalean. I really do like her program, but I have to say I have definitely been battling the mirror and scale this week. Every week that I weigh myself I have actually gained a pound instead of lost anything. And some weeks you are harder on your reflection than other weeks (lets be real here people, whether or not we like what we see in the mirror can change from day to day, even from hour to hour!!). So because of these struggles I was not thrilled to do Chalean today. But I knew that if I didn't "Just Do It" and start today's DVD, instead of drown my frustrations by prowling for sweets in the pantry (of which there is only Nutella, Oh's cereal, and white/chocolate chips. Still lethal in their own right, but pretty tame compared to some of the things my cupboards have been stuffed with), then I would regret it. So I quickly changed into my workout clothes and pressed play before I could talk myself out of it. And you know what? It was actually pretty awesome! Just getting going works every time, and I just need to always remember that. And, of course, after my workout I am always thinking of ways to improve, like what good thing I can eat for lunch and what healthy recipe to make for dinner, and what healthy snacks I can eat. I'm still not seeing massive changes {yet}, but I am seeing little changes that are helping to keep me motivated. I can see some definition in my arms and my pants are fitting a bit better too. One thing that really motivates me, even though I am slightly terrified by it, is my sisters' idea to get a group photo done at the end of the program in our teeny bikinis! AHHH! That thought alone would keep almost anyone from chowing down on fatty sweets!! I really need to start Weight Watchers and jump on a treadmill. I definitely don't feel like two months of workouts will have me feeling confident enough to bare {almost} all for a photograph, especially next to a bunch of hotties. Time will tell!
On to my other favorite {yet conflicting} love: FOOD!
Last night Gary made some exquisite Creamy Tomato Soup. It was divine! He even added a ton of onions, which he is not a huge fan of, but they really gave it a good savory taste. And, not only did he cook up a masterpiece, he also cleaned up too! Am I married to the best guy or what?!
Tonight is Bookclub, yeah! This month we read The Help, by Kathryn Stockett. Such a good book! The characters really draw you in, and the story is a real page-turner, you just NEED to know what is going to happen next! I highly recommend it!

I think your doing awesome! Thanks for blogging as well! I'm nervous too but I think we can totally do this. This is summer of sexy baby!
I want Gary to come to my house and cook and clean... do you think you could work that out? Thanks :)
I just read The Help too. I liked it. What is that mean chicks name again? I want to throw a pie in her face... or toilets on her lawn. Whatever.
