Getting Tough

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!
