Summer Slim Down: First Weigh-In Success!

I am so proud of all you ladies this week!  Every one is off to a fantastic start!  We had success, not only in pounds lost, but also in inches, eating better, and exercising.  I know I keep saying this but I am truly inspired!  Every time I think about reaching for the chocolate, or skipping the greens, I think of 24 other women who are making the same great choices, and it gives me so much strength to choose wisely!  And a little competition never hurts for motivation, either...

Just for fun: as a group we lost a total of 52 pounds this week!  What?!

Thank  you everyone who came early this Saturday!  It's nice to not have you all trickling in throughout the whole day, even though I love to see your smiling faces any time!

Here's the week at a glance.  Remember, this week includes 7 days, but the requirement for max points is still only 5 days.

WEEK 2 – 3/28-4/3  SATURDAY-FRIDAY

1.       Challenge: write everything down

2.       Drink 8 cups (8 oz) of water

3.       Eat 5 fruits & vegetables

4.       Exercise for 60 minutes daily

5.       Weigh-in Saturday 4/4 8:30-9:00 AM.  It's General Conference Weekend, so please make it snappy!

6.       Points Break-down:

a.       Write everything down = 1 point/day

b.      Drink 8 cups water = 1 point/day

c.       5 fruits & veggies = 1 point/day

d.      Challenge (writing everything down) = 1 point/day

e.      Exercise 60 minutes = 1 point/day; 30 minutes = .5 point/day

f.        Come to weigh-in Saturday = 5 points

g.       Lose weight = 5 points; gain or no change = 0 points

Bonus: work out with an adult friend once this week.  (pushing your kids in a stroller doesn't count. your hubby does.)  Email me by Friday night that you have completed the bonus, and I'll enter you into a drawing to win a case of water bottles!  We all need extra water handy with all the chugging we've been doing!  I'll have the winner drawn and ready so you can take your prize home with you!

Remember to keep track of food today and Sunday so all your hard work doesn't get undone!

Have a fun and relaxing Spring Break, and get that exercise in!
