This week Kay lost another pound. Fay, once again, did not gain or lose. The girls are satisfied with their week, but are getting very anxious to see those pounds coming off a little faster!
This past week, the girls took teeny, tiny bites. Fay found that doing this eliminated her desire to go back for seconds. Kay found that she often discovered that she was full during her meal... not even finishing what was on her plate. Awesome job girls!
For this week, Fay and Kay are going to step up in the exercise department. They are currently doing 30 minutes of activity at least 6 days a week. During that 30 minutes, they are making sure their hearts are really pumping for at least 2 minutes. Starting this week, they are going to make sure their hearts are really pumping hard for at least 5 minutes. This is going to be a tough one for the girls, but they are ready for the challenge!

Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny...
This was a blah kind of week for Fay and Kay. Both girls didn't gain or lose this week. Fay and Kay understand that they are bound to have some weeks like this, but it sure is frustrating to feel like you made such an effort and not see any results. Fay thought for sure she was going to lose at least one pound after the long hike she joined her friends on last Wednesday!
This week Fay and Kay are going to address their inability to follow the life change they set in place weeks ago to eat slower. Both girls find that they have trouble eating slower and are having a hard time not being the first one done all the time. This week the girls are going to make sure they eat slower by changing the size of the bites they take... to itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny... which, coincidentally, is the size they are hoping to be at the end of this program! Tiny bites means longer meal times so these life changes will work together to help the girls realize when they get full.

No More Cushie Tushie!
Fay lost one pound this week bringing her grand total to 30! She is now down to single digits of weight loss left to go! Kay didn't gain or lose this week, although she had high hopes since she felt she had done a lot of activities and really stayed on the program. Overall, it was a decent week for the girls.
So this past week the girls did a review week where they looked over the list of things they are supposed to be doing every day or week and reminding themselves to actually do them. It was amazing how many of the items Fay and Kay were not consistently doing. The daily exercises were the ones that the girls didn't seem to have any trouble remembering, but some of the other activity ones were being overlooked on a regular basis. Both girls had a good week staying on track and doing what they were supposed to. The review was a good idea. Perhaps this will be added into the rotation occasionally.
This week the girls want to add another exercise to the daily rotation... butt lifts. The girls have noticed nice improvements in their abs, legs and arms from the daily exercises and both girls would love to see a little butt improvement too! To do this exercise, you need to get down on all fours and then lift your bended leg behind you in the air (the bottom of your foot up towards the ceiling) 25 times on each side. Fay are Kay are looking forward to seeing some serious results from this one!

Let's Review
This week was a pretty good week for Fay and Kay. Fay lost two pounds, however since she gained two pounds last week, she is really just back where she started. Kay didn't gain or lose this week. The girls agreed that eating only one serving of bread each day was surprisingly difficult. Kay found it to be a challenge because her husband baked numerous loaves of homemade bread this week which was very tempting to her. Fay found that the new life improvement required planning ahead for meals, which she admits doesn't always happen at her house.
This week Fay and Kay need a little refresher course. Both girls find themselves forgetting some of the prior life improvements and, as a result, not consistently making all of the changes in their lives. The girls are wanting to make these improvements be something that they can continue for the rest of their lives so that they will not gain back their weight and so that they can be a healthy example to their children. The girls' life change this week will be to review the changes they have previously put in place and make sure they are putting forth their best effort to improve their lives in these ways.
