This morning was bad... very bad. Fay and Kay both gained this week and they are not too happy about it. The girls are going to blame PMS for the terrible weigh in. And if you tell them otherwise, they will also blame PMS for their yelling and crying, so let's just avoid that by agreeing with them. Poor Fay and Kay!
Fay and Kay are kicking it up a notch by increasing their 30 minutes of activity from 4 times a week to 6 times a week. Fay is looking forward to hiking season with her neighbor friends and Kay's neighborhood pool just opened, so both girls think that they can handle the exercise increase. And hopefully next week, Fay and Kay will have better numbers to show for it!

Kay Lost 10 Pounds!
Kay reached 10 pounds lost! Fay is so proud of her sister... Kay is pretty pleased herself! Fay lost two more pounds also. Thank you to everyone who left an encouraging comment... the girls really love reading them. Keep 'em coming!
Fay and Kay both did pretty well with the additional exercising. The lunges weren't too terrible, though the girls' did possibly discover that there are some muscles hiding under all that junk in their trunks!
This week Fay and Kay are committing to making good choices at restaurants. What constitutes a "good choice" will be left up to each girl, but Fay suggested ordering a normal meal and putting half in a to go container for the next day. Kay suggested ordering off the dollar menu at fast food places for a smaller portion size. Sharing a meal with a friend (or sister) would be a great example too. In addition to being more healthy, this life improvement will also save the girls a few bucks!

Let's Get Physical
Fay and Kay both had great weeks. Fay lost another two pounds, bringing her total to 15. Kay did her weigh in on Thursday because she was visiting family out of town on Friday and realized after she got there that they do not own a scale. (Who doesn't own a scale you might be wondering... someone who stays at a perfect weight fairly easily, that's who.) Anyway, Kay lost another pound, but felt good that she might have lost two had she been somewhere with a scale on Friday.
Having only one healthy snack a day is a pretty easy change for the girls. Since they had already eliminated eating after dinner, both girls were usually only snacking once a day already, so making a healthy choice was not too hard. They are continuing their activities and are feeling strong and good!
This week, Fay and Kay would like to add another daily exercise... lunges. Ten on each side seems doable for the girls. Fay and Kay are hoping that their legs will get as strong as their arms have been getting! Maybe their rear ends will reap the benefit as well... it wouldn't hurt (except maybe it will!)

Encouragement Needed!
Fay is very pleased with her two pound weight loss this week. Kay, however, is not as pleased with her continued plateau. She is having a bit of a struggle with a few of the life improvements... especially avoiding those second helpings. Please leave Kay a comment to encourage her as she keeps working towards her goal!!
The girls have spent the last week parking a little farther away to try and sneak in some extra exercise. This life improvement is easy... when they remember to do it. More than once this week, Fay has come out of a store and remembered this improvement as she was walking to her car... which was not parked as far as it could have been, safely and reasonably. They will continue to work on this improvement.
The girls have decided that this week's life improvement will be in the form of snacking. Fay and Kay will only have one healthy snack per day. "Healthy" is being left up to each girl's judgment, but Fay and Kay are confident that, though it isn't defined, they will know it when they see it. Sadly those Girl Scout cookies that are still on Fay's kitchen counter are not going to be a good snack option!
