I just finished up getting everything ready for tomorrow. I work out in the mornings at the gym on base and I usually have enough time to go home and shower before I have to be to work. But on Friday I was told that my schedule is going to be changing a little bit and it will not allow me enough time to make it home to shower and get ready before I have to be to work. It's going to be a change for me b/c I do not like taking a shower at the gym but I can handle it. I only have to do this until I pass my fitness test and then I can make my own workout schedule!

I am feeling pretty darn good! My husband told me that he can notice a difference. I didn't even have to ask this time!!! :-) One of my friends and I took our measurements & pics about three weeks ago. I haven't really been incorporating weights or anything but I have cleaned up my eating and have been doing cardio. I also have started this healthy lifestyles program seminar every Thursday (recommended by my supervisor). It's great so far! They have handouts every week and they have a scale that we can weigh in if we want to (not mandatory). Well the first day was 20-Apr and I weighed myself. Then again on 27-Apr and I had lost 2 lbs. I am very happy about that. One of my goals is to constantly lose 2 lbs a week.

Tomorrow I am starting the lifting program out of Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle. I am very excited about this whole thing b/c over the weekend I sat down and wrote out my goals. My ultimate, one-year, 3-month and daily goals. I know this is all attainable and I can't wait!!

I had a practice on Thursday and I cut my run time down by 12 seconds. Every time I ran in the past I would want to stop and walk around the start of my second lap (not far, huh?) but on Thursday I ran the whole 6 laps without wanting to stop ONCE! That is so awesome for me. AND that means that I am getting better. Another thing, I ran my sixth (last) lap 3 seconds faster than my first one. How great is that?!?!? I just can't believe it... That means that I ran FIVE laps and STILL had it in me to run faster and finish with a better time. I'm so proud of myself!

So next Sunday my friend and I will take 4-week pics and our measurements and I can't wait. Even my clothes are fitting better!

Have a wonderful week everyone!!
