As they say

When one door closes another opens. I'm pretty glad that door closed because I'm a lot more excited about the door that opened. This summer is going to continue to be epic.

Yeah, that's right

Found a nice trail outside kokomo.  It was great since it's part of the rails totrails program.

Biggest Loser

A friend of a friend likes to coordinate biggest loser competitions among friends. We all weighed-in today and we will all weigh-in in August. The person with the greatest percentage weight loss wins the pot from the buy-ins of all participants.

Now to lose the greatest percentage so I can win the pot! It is only around $200, but still a nice incentive.

Doing more stuff for myself

I have horrible vision. As someone with horrible vision who hates horrible vision I've wanted laser surgery ever since I heard it came out. One of my facebook friends just talked about her story and spoke highly of a center in Charlotte. I came to find out that most of my friends in Charlotte went to that exact same center so I decided since I knew where to go it was finally time to get it done. I went in today and learned that I am a fine candidate for PRK which is actually safer than LASIK, but has a much longer recovery time. I'm not happy about recovery time, but it is something I want to do.

The past week of wearing my glasses led to some awkward head angles trying to see what Chalene was doing while trying to do my exercises. In 2 months I shouldn't have to worry about glasses for a few years!

I did it

Tonight I went out with a bunch of friends and had a few beers and I kept telling myself I needed to do my ChaLean Extreme when I got home. Well I did! I did both videos I was supposed to!

Now I need to find some affordable adjustable dumbbells. They has ones that went up to 25# each at Target, but the dial was broken on 1 and they only had 2 total so I figured I'd wait.

I'll check Play It Again Sports and see if they have what I need. That way I'll use resistance bands on the road and dumbbells at home.

Momentum building

It's day 3 of ChaLean Extreme and still going strong. I was so sore today from the videos. It's amazing how changing it up a bit and using weights can make such a difference.

I did the ab video yesterday which is just 10 minutes of abs. I like to do the P90x ab video every once in a while because those are killer!!

I made the mistake today of seeing Bridesmaids with a bunch of friends. Boy did that make my abs feel like they actually exist!

Hashing

Today I did my ChaLean Extreme ab workout and I'm following it up with a "hash run" with the Hash House Harriers. I'm not sure how far we will run, but I'm pretty sure we'll have fun.
