View THEFATCHICK's food & exercise for this day
Good morning! The sun is shining the birds are singing and it is a beautiful day! 
Last night was training with Elle and it was fantastic!!! We increased my weights again and I graduated from the recumbent leg press to the plated leg press (what the big boys and girls use), we added more challenging abdominal exercises and I held the elbow plank for a full 30 seconds (beating my last try of 26 seconds), this may not seem like a lot but with my back this is awesome!!! I was able to move through the sets faster, more fluidly, and with more control. I felt strong and excited! I really feel like the little engine that could I think I CAN, I think I CAN I know I CAN, I know I CAN!!!!
I was so wiped out at the end and burned over 700 calories. I only ate 1371 calories yesterday, only 29 shy of my 1400 and I remembered to have my chocolate.
My weight today was ..204 lbs and 8 oz down again! YAY!!! Hands to the ceiling WOOT! WOOT!
I feel so blessed to have this second chance and to have Elle, Dr.Ted (Chiro) in my corner working together to make sure I dont get hurt we have meetings on the stationary bikes about my progress and abilities. They are awesome! My husband, my kids and all of the CK family are the best support system and I cant thank everyone enough I really feel like Im going to make it this time.

Hope we all reach our goals for today and set new ones for tomorrow
Have a great day!
