Can Everybody Say "Plateau"?

Ooooh... that's not good. Neither Kay nor Fay lost a single pound this week. Both girls insist that they stuck to all the life improvements, but still nothing. Fay and Kay are still pleased though, as neither girl gained a single pound either! Fay had been warned by her husband that at some point she would hit a plateau and it might take something big to get over it, but she didn't realize it would come so soon!

Not eating second helpings at meals has been interesting. Fay caught herself going back for seconds at breakfast last Friday morning... that's right... the very first meal of the very first day of the improvement. But she caught herself and put her plate in the sink instead. Kay had a little trouble one night when she made homemade meatballs. She put a single helping on her plate but was really thinking she would want more... a lot more. But after she finished her first helping, she sat at the table a while and then realized she didn't really want any more. Both girls are really happy with this improvement and feel confident that this one will help them get where they want to be. Just as soon as they get over this plateau!

Fay and Kay are really challenging themselves on the life improvements that are exercises. The pushups are still tough for Fay. But on two nights, she did her pushups without taking a break, so Fay is sure her arms are getting much stronger. Kay has been doing great at her pushups... she has strong arms already, but she has really been pushing herself with her sit-ups. She has improved her form and is doing them all without a break.

This week Fay and Kay are choosing to park farther away from their destination in order to sneak in some extra walking during the day. The girls will be parking as far away as is reasonable and safe. This will be an easy way to get a little extra exercise in while they do their mommy chores. And hopefully this will kickstart a great week!
