Happy Derby Day, everyone. And congratulations to Barbaro. Did you watch the race? Pretty exciting. Barbaro won by a huge lead too. We had fun watching it.
Well, now that I laid out a goal to ya'll about wearing my blue poka-dot dress for Chris' graduation, I better lay out a plan to make it happen. My exercise and eating habits were mediocre last week. Thursday night was a Student Wives Institute banquet, and I totally feasted and saw the consequences on the scale. Today I went on 2 walks (not too long though) and lifted weights too. Here's my goals for the next two weeks (until graduation):
- weights 3x a week
- ab portion of weight workout 4x a week
- Walking DVD 4-5x a week for ONLY 2 miles (unless I have the time and desire, but the key is for me just to plan on only 2 miles, so I can't make time an excuse not to do the workout)
This really isn't unrealistic. I already do the weights. And I've had trouble doing the DVD because I don't feel like doing a whole hour. Doing 2 miles and only 30 minutes would be way better than nothing, but did I do it? Sometimes I'm an all-or-nothing girl to a fault.
Pray for me. I have to get out of this neutral place I've been in.

My wife has become a southerner--talking about the Derby, using "ya'll." If we stayed here much longer, she'd be wearing big flowery hats and sipping mint juleps.
Yum, mint juleps sound good. :)
We midwesterners (I think eastern Ohio still counts as midwest) didn't see the derby. We're pga fans and lately Matt's been so immersed in writing his final papers that we don't watch much of anything.
I'll pray for ya' this week dearie. I think it's great that you're making your goals practical and bit-sized so they don't seem so hard to reach. Can't wait to e-see you in your navy dress. :) Maybe you could pair it with a big white hat?
