Half Way

I don't know about anyone else but, I am excited to get weighed in on Saturday!  Time wise we are half way thru this adventure.  But for me, I feel like I am just getting into the "zone". 
My thought at this point is maybe getting more compeditive than I have been previously in this contest.  I am meeting my goals.  But, expecting to by-pass my goals. 
Pushing harder is starting to feel pretty good.

Hershey Victory!

I was a little concerned when going on a nice little weekend getaway to Hershy PA. 
I was guarded!  I was very careful!  I found the fitness room in the place we stayed.  I took the steps instead of the elevator from the 5th floor!!!
 
Monday morning.......  same weight as Friday!!!
Whoo HOOOO.  Made it
 
Next Saturday's weigh in is comming.

Hershey


Yes!  Hershey, Pennsylvania.  We are on a little getaway weekend to enjoy some time with friends.  We will be touring the Hershey museum and factory.  They say you can smell chocolate in the air.  I will soon know.  
But, really of all times to go to Chocolate USA......   I will be strong.

Harder!

I am feeling like a compeditor these days.  Maybe that is the whole idea when you are in a contest!  It is terribly motivating.  I have been exposed to so many of my most favorite foods latley.  The Croation Lodge's strudel!  I had it right under my nose!  I could have had three pieces and took some home!!!!  Did not do it!  not one piese and not one taste!  Tonight -  ice cream cake!!! Not one bite!  I didn't have any carbs either.  Yike.
