Another week down. Fay lost another 2 pounds and was super excited... until she called Kay and discovered that Kay didn't do as well this week. Kay did all her sit-ups, and her no cokes, and her three-bite max on desserts, but she didn't have a good week for activity. That, combined with eating out a few extra times got her in a little bit of a slump. That's OK though. Kay is going to figure out a good routine and get right back on track.
Fay and Kay both agree that the three-bite rule is getting pretty easy. Kay found that putting three bites on a plate and taking teeny tiny bites made it last longer and... well let's just face it... made it more fun. Four activities a week was a bit challenging though. Fay rode bikes with the kids three days but found herself chatting with other moms instead of riding and had to ride a little extra to make up the full 30 minutes. But then the weather took a turn for the worse and it got too rainy and cold to ride bikes so Fay had to complete her activities with a 30 minute dancing/ jogging in place activity while watching CSI Miami. That was pretty fun!
This week Fay and Kay are adding a life improvement that will be a big challenge for Fay... no eating after dinner. The reason this is such a challenge is that Fay likes to have dinner with her family and then after the kids go to bed, she likes the calorie equivalent of a second dinner while she watches TV, talks on the phone or blogs. But today is the first day of the new improvement and Fay is sitting here blogging without a snack! It's a miracle! Fay and Kay did agree that if you save your three sweet bites until after the kids go to bed so that you can enjoy them in peace and without three little mouths asking for a bite, then you can still have that... just no snacking!

2 Girls, 2 Weeks, 2 Pounds!
Two more pounds each! Wow! Fay is starting to really get excited!!
This week Fay and Kay only ate three bites of sweets each day. This was, by far, the hardest life improvement so far, but both girls did pretty good. Kay did have one forgetful moment when her family came over for dinner, but she made up for it with the first ever "Fay and Kay Consequence Day"... she had to walk a mile the next day! What made this week so challenging was that Kay lives in Texas, where the Girl Scout cookies are already available. Uh Oh! Fay and Kay agreed that one cookie is about 3 bites unless you have Thin Mints... then you get two (hey, we have to be reasonable here). Fay will put this to good use soon enough since she placed her cookie order before Fay and Kay started trying to get skinny. They should arrive in New York pretty soon. Wish Fay luck!
The new life improvement that Fay and Kay came up with was to do 30 minutes of any activity at least 4 times a week. This doesn't mean running on the treadmill or Sweatin' to the Oldies... though you are welcome to do those if you wish. Just any activity where they are up moving. Taking a walk, riding bikes with the kids, playing Wii... anything that means they aren't sitting around. But Fay and Kay don't get to slack off on their sit-ups. Got to get those abs bikini ready! (Or at least down-one-jean-size ready!)

First Weigh In
Fay and Kay had their first Friday Morning Weigh-In and they both lost 1 pound!!
Fay and Kay both stuck to the life improvements pretty well this week. Nobody drank any soda at all. In fact, Fay thought that switching her afternoon Sprite to water was pretty easy and not a big deal. Fay and Kay both did all of their sit-ups as well, although Fay admits that she forgot to do her sit-ups on Thursday so she had to do 50 today... ouch! When she admitted her failure to her sister, Kay, Kay admitted that she did double sit-ups this week too. Yay for sisters with bad memories!
Interestingly, Kay thought the sit-ups got a little easier as the week progressed, but Fay got some seriously sore abs and thought the sit-ups got a little harder. But both girls got a little stronger!
Fay and Kay have come up with this week's life improvement... no more than three bites of dessert/ sweets each day. Three REGULAR bites... we don't want anybody choking to death on the biggest bite of birthday cake you have ever taken in your life! Though this week will likely be a more difficult challenge for both Fay and Kay, they are ready to make a little change that will make a big difference!
*Fay admits that she may have had a visit from her dependable Aunt Flo and that it is possible that she lost 1 pound of uterine lining, but whatever... a pound is a pound!*

Fay and Kay Have a Plan
Fay and Kay have some work to do. They need to lose quite a bit of weight so they can stop having pain in their feet and stop wearing their fat jeans as their regular jeans. But they aren't too good at diets. So Fay and Kay came up with a plan. They would change their lives one week at a time!
So, on March 3, 2010 Fay and Kay agreed to make one life improvement each week. Each week would bring a new, small change that they could incorporate into their lives. Some changes will be to their diets, other changes will help them be more active, and others will simply change their lifestyles in a positive way. As the weeks progress, they hope to see big changes coming from their little changes adding up.
