Healthy You Challenge - 02/26/08
Wow, another week zips past! It was a pretty good one for me:
1) I hit all my exercise goals and even made it through 882 minutes of my1000 minute cardio goal. I might just make the goal after all. Then again, my body is NOT happy that we haven't had our rest day, so I may have to pamper the silly thing and take a day off. (I keep telling it, "We restedf or 40+ years!", but it doesn't always listen.)
2) Mostly-healthy eating continues. I doubt I'll ever make it to healthfood maniac, but I have definitely reformed.
3) To my complete and utter astonishment, the scale went fickle the other way this week, and I showed a 3-lb. loss! That makes a total of 74 lbs.gone! While I'm grateful, I'm not preparing my side panel for a new badge just yet. It would not surprise me at all to have a flat week or even a small gain next week. (Or perhaps a huge gain if the product placement people don't quit putting pizzas on every channel.*G*)
No new goals, really, except to get back into the swing of decluttering the house now that the pesky flu is gone. My father's men's club at church is having a rummage sale, and that has really inspired me to re-evaluate some of the items I'd previously held onto because they were "too good to just give away." Never mind that I'm not actually using or enjoying them.*Sigh.* I never said I was bright. :) Anyway, somehow the knowledge that the men's club will benefit from the sale of these items seems to have unlocked a hoarding mechanism in my brain, and many items are on their way O-U-T.
Oh, and Susie asked about a new photo. I hope to have one soon! I have to take new photos for my work ID and career profile database. Those are usually head shots, but I'll ask someone to snap one in a head-to-tippy toe view.
I'm planning to have a marvelous week, and I hope all of you are, too! The only problem with trying to be all healthy and organized is that it takes up valuable blog-reading time. Please know that I'm wishing you well, and while I might not get to your blog today, I'll catch up with you sometime this week!

Congrats on your loss! Great job. That 75 lbs is close. How very exciting.
I think there are a lot of us with the decluttering bug at the moment. Doesn't it feel good?
Have a wonderful week!
HAHAHA! I LOVE that you refer to your body as "it" saying that IT doesnt listen! LOL I too find that to be the case! TY for the HYC welcome and I look forward to kepping eachother motivated!
Woo hoo for you! 3 pounds is awesome. I can't wait to see your picture. I know that it felt so good to get rid of 70+ pounds.
You go girl :)
Keep up the excellent work - exercise, weight loss and LIFE work!
Years ago I decluttered our 4 bedroom home. What started then, continued to the point where about 2 years ago, all my 'worldly' possessions fit into my car (not to mention decluttering the dead marriage too!). I've since settled down again but I try so very hard not to accumulate too much stuff as it seems to clutter up my mind as well as my life.
Wow congratulations on the 3 pound loss this week and what a great accomplishment of being one pound away from a 75 pound weight loss.
I decluttered and organized my pantry on Sunday and my closet on Monday... had no time to read blogs until late last night! Take care of you first and what you want to accomplish then reward yourself with some blog reading.
Oh and I love how you plan on having a "marvelous week!". That is going to be my new mantra!
Way to go on the three pound loss this week, but Im even more impressed with how healthy your attitude is. Always positive, and alwasy philisophical about the little ups and downs in this journey we are all taking. Your blog is inspiring. Thank you!
WOW congrats on your success this past week! May next week be just as awesome for you!!

That's a great loss! Congrats. Looking forward to reading about more successes for you.
well done with your loss! I would celebrate it no matter what!
also well done with your exercise!
Can't wait to see the new pic! Now if they just keep HGTV on at the gym maybe that 75 will be closer than you think!
Wow--what a great loss..that is so nice! Also, very exciting how close you are to your February GOAL!! Just a few minutes left! You can do it!Can't wait to see your new blog bling..
Sounds like you had a great week! Keep up the good work! :)
Wow, you are doing great! Well done on the loss and the exercise!
Congrats on your loss! I found your site today while browsing and will be checking back often. You are an inspiration on both the weight loss and the decluttering in the home. I'm trying to do both. I'll check back soon!
Congratulations on the loss! That is wonderful!
I think rest days are so important, at least they have been for me. Not only does it give my body a chance to restore some reserves, it helps me not to feel like I'm just exercising all the time...and it helps me get through the workouts, knowing I have a rest day not too far off. :-) You've probably earned one by now!
Have a great week!

Wow--3 pounds is awesome! Good for you. And 74 pounds is an AMAZING accomplishment. I hope you have a great week. Good luck with your decluttering efforts!
WTG on the loss!! ; )
Congrats on your loss and overall great week! 882 minutes seems like such a long time. I've never added up my weekly total, that would be very intersting. Thanks for coming by my blog and sharing your assisted chin up story. That made me smile!
