Not Unexpected

Fay and Kay knew this week wasn't going to be great. Fay felt like she didn't do too well in the eating area and Kay skipped a few days worth of activities. But both girls were satisfied that they didn't gain or lose during the week. And both girls are going to stay focused this week and make those life improvements really mean something!

Fay and Kay had a good laugh about last week's improvement... boy pushups. The girls have found that switching to boy pushups has equated to having to take alot of breaks in order to get all 10 pushups in. Three or four breaks to be exact. But Fay and Kay did every one of those pushups and hopefully it will only take a few weeks before they can do all 10 without a break!

This week Fay and Kay would like to start getting an idea of how many calories they are consuming with their new life improvements. This idea came about when Fay purchased mini muffins for her kids. She ate four mini muffins and still felt hungry, but a quick glance at the nutrition information revealed that she had already consumed 440 calories... more than a humongous bowl of cereal that would have been much more filling. So this week, the girls will begin reading the calories for everything they eat. Every... thing. If they eat at a restaurant, they can look up the menu in advance or look it up after they return home. Fay and Kay are not planning to write it down, though you can if you want to, but they just want to see how many calories are in the foods they are choosing. Perhaps this life change will help the girls know what the better choices are.
