Fay's Progress

Kay's Progress

You can still have the Bacon Egg and Cheese Muffin at Subway

This has been an interesting week for Fay and Kay. Fay lost one more pound. She is to the point where she feels like she is doing a lot of work for not much weight lost. A pound is a pound, but Fay hopes every week to see a smaller number on the scale and that darn scale keeps just barely inching down. Kay found it tough to keep with the improvements early in the week when her husband made cheese fries for dinner one night and she found herself face to face with a large Dr. Pepper one afternoon. Kay buckled down later in the week and ended up not losing or gaining for the week. Overall the girls are satisfied but not thrilled.

Fay and Kay both thought the "Superman" pose was pretty easy. They saw some benefit to the pose when, after only a few days, both girls had strengthened their cores enough to be able to do their pushups with only one or two breaks instead of the usual four. By the end of the week, Fay did 10 pushups with no break and Kay only needed one break. Awesome!

This week Fay and Kay want to delve deeper into the calorie counting. For the last couple weeks, Fay and Kay have been looking up the nutritional information for everything that they eat. They have now familiarized themselves with the calorie counts for many of their favorite foods. This week they want to limit one meal a day to 250 calories. This is a pretty strict limitation, but the girls think it will add an extra boost to the weight loss for them. Obviously this limitation will be most easily executed at breakfast with a average size bowl of cereal with milk. But the girls are leaving their options open by allowing the calorie counting to be done at any meal... which is good since this plan was agreed to by the girls after breakfast this morning!
