BE FEARLESS

Hey there, good looking! Yes, you. You are beautiful. You are strong. You are sexy. You have so much potential. You aren't finished yet.

I look in the mirror now and see changes in my body from four weeks ago. Less cellulite on my butt and thighs. More energy in my legs and arms. More strength in my core. Less acne on my face. ...I'm transforming into the woman I want to be.

While no one else may notice the subtle changes, I do and that's reason enough to celebrate. Obstacles were laid in my path last week, but I persevered. I pushed and dug deep. Every day I can't wait to get to the gym, which is weird and encouraging at the same time. It gives me a small goal to accomplish each day, whether that's 45 min with weights or 45 min doing cardio. Last week, I exercised 5 out of the 7 days. CRAZY.

Since high school, I haven't been this consistent in my workout routine. I haven't had this strong of a body in YEARS. And it's only February. Who knows what I can accomplish this year?

>>BEST MOMENTS THIS WEEK<<

1 mile warm up + 11.79 miles biked in 45 minutes AND raised the difficulty by 2 levels + 1 mile cool down

Bringing an apple to work, rather than snacking on fries

24 seconds down since my last timed mile (6:49)
1 mile warm up + 7 miles (59:45) + 1 mile cool down = 9 miles ran.
Just one mile short of breaking my longest distance record.
Which I ran in SUMMER 2010. 

>>MOMENTS TO IMPROVE<<

Pizza AND fries for dinner? Really Chelsea? Merp.

EAT BREAKFAST.

Get up to 140 in squats this week.

I AM HEADSTRONG

Before you even look at the workout and eating habits for last week, please know I did eat food, but can't remember what exactly it was I ate. >< I know, I know. Write it down immediately. Lesson learned, I guess. This past week was INSANE. I submitted three plays for the Ken Ludwig Playwriting Scholarship Award on Feb 1 (Saturday). Hence, the skipped workout days. ): There just wasn't time. Boo. BUT! An exciting new goal was met last week, one I'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE.

I RAN A 5 MILE FARTLEK IN 42:38. That's my PR for 5 miles! WAH. I NEED ALL THE HUGS. Also, I completed an entire set of weights in one day. (: Proud Chelsea is proud. And she'll get better at eating healthy. ><

Also. If anyone wants to read what I wrote over this last week, leave a comment! I may even put it up on the blog. (:
