I haven’t updated in awhile…life is always so busy! Anyway, I have two minutes to type this out, so bear with me.
The Goal: The goal started on May 18th and I hope to end it on June 18th with 150 miles travled on my elliptical. It’s probably a good thing I set the goal when I did because more nights than not – I haven’t wanted to exercise. But since I set the goal - I made myself do it anyway...so hard!
This week I’ve been upping the resistance…which is making it a bit more challenging to get the mileage in – but so far I’m still on track for reaching the goal…so far! I’m just waiting for something to jump out of the corner and sidetrack me from reaching the goal.
As far as feeling more energetic and healthier…well, I kinda feel blah. I think my food patterns have something to do with that. I have to somehow figure out how to cook healthier…which is such a challenge. I have always struggled with fitting it ALL in. I can either cook healthy OR exercise…it's such a challenge to do both…since it seems to be able to do both would mean somehow adding a few extra hours in the day. This is definitely a work in progress….the cooking healthy thing…if I could add hours in the day, I would do that in a heartbeat too! =)
There is much more I could blog about, but I’ve already gone over my two minutes and if I don’t jump in the shower now, there won’t be another time today – so I’ll try to blog more later…!

I think you're doing amazing! It's good to focus on the whole package but don't forget to remember how well you are doing on the piece that you're working on right now.
I struggle with healthy cooking, too. I do worse when I resort to packaged food. Since it's summer and the veggies are so pretty I'm really trying to focus on grilling vegetables. Also, rice and beans is a great (and quick) fix that can last a couple of meals and be prepared many ways. I'm finding it helps to have on hand. AND soup is so healthy as long as it doesn't have a bunch or cheese or cream and the food processor can cut prep time down by a bunch.
You have done such a great job with the weight and getting into shape. Keep on keeping on.
Min,
Stay focused - every ounce adds up to reaching your goal.
Mom and I are on the steamed/raw veggie diet - it has helped me keep my weight down as I train for Long's.
You are doing great and you can reach your goal.
Dad
