Good Morning Red Team!!!!!
How are you doing this week? Are you logging your foods? How about your exercise, are you getting it in?
I just got in form the YMCA, I did the cross trainer machine today; and I feel GREAT! Now I am off to the grocery store to fill my place with more yummy healthy foods.
Those of you with children in the house.....are you changing how the whole family eats including the kids? I have been blessed with 2 children (boys) who LOVE fruits and veggies. Thankfully neither of our children have a weight problem....well my 2 year old is actually small of his age. I hope that all of you are transitioning well into the healthy eating.0 -
Hello Red Team! Happy Mother's Day to those who are mothers! I hope you are all having a great week! How is your exercise going? My exercise has been going good; I really enjoy going to the YMCA but I am just as happy doing WATP's DVD's on days I can not make it to the Y! How is your logging going? Are you finding that some foods you really enjoy are not great for you? MY logging has been very slackish; I'm hoping this doesnt mess up my scale moving downward. I have found that some foods I really enjoy are not a good fit for me anymore, I knew they weren't good for me...but I didn't realize just how bad some stuff was. Did you eat all your fruits and veggies? My children are really enjoying all these fruits and veggies; not the brussel sprouts.
Please don't forget to get the following sent over to me by tomorrow night please:
Your Weight
1. Did you work out 4 out of 7 days?
2. Did you try a NEW exercise?
3. Did you do 135 of EACH of the following: Crunches, Squats, & Push ups?
4. Did you have a rest day?
5. Did you remember to drink water?
6. Did you each AT LEAST 5 fruits and Veggie servings on all 7 days?
7. Did you submit a picture and recipe of a meal with at least 2 fruit/veggie servings to the cooking challenge?
Again Happy Mother's Day!0 -

If you lack inspiration, you can try swimming, clubbing (DANCING!!!), another class at your local gym, or that new DVD , take tennis rackets and go play tennis with kids in park ... or football ...
