David and I decided to change up the rewards. Every week that I meet my goals, I will reward myself with $10 for crafty-goodness (or anything else I choose). Also, there will be separate larger rewards when I hit predetermined milestones.
As far as participants, there is a sweet little gal that lives with me that also wants to share her weekly progress.
Week 1 Rundown:
Thank you to those that are supporting and encouraging me. I really appreciate it! My first week was successful. I did make it to the gym twice. Even though it has been about 9 months since I have worked out, it didn't go as bad as I thought it would. I definitely am not able to do as much as I did when I stopped going, but it was a great start. I really want to make sure I don't push it too hard, I don't want to end up with plantar fasciitis again. I worked out both times on the elliptical. Also, I did great at making better food choices as well. I am usually a junk food junkie but really didn't have that desire during Week 1. All but one meal I ate was homemade, so points could be tracked and portions/ingredients controlled. The only meal I ate out was a very healthy one.
Week 1 Results:

Yay!! Congrats on the weight loss. :-) Way to stick with it, even when its not easy. AND OMGosh Ems does look bigger. 8 lbs 1 oz does her good. She makes weight gain look GOOD!! lol
ReplyDeleteWOW...WAY TO GO...I knew you could do it. Twice at the gym..that in itself is a great achievement. I am so very proud of you. I believe it is harder to return to excercise than it is to begin it for the first time. You know what to expect and you still go, YAY FOR YOU..
ReplyDeleteI love the new rewards - there is no greater reward than a shopping spree (with any amount) at Michaels.
Now, my little Ms Ems...what can I say,,,she is just more BEAUTIFUL than the last picture. She has such a cute little button nose. I just can't wait to see her. You be sure to give her lots of hugs and kisses for me. She is looking great, love how the two of you have a blog, one losing and one gaining. Very enjoyable to see how well the little lady is doing. I am so happy for you!!!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I look forward to next week, I just know that you will be MICHAELS BOUND then also.
I AM SO VERY VERY PROUD OF YOU!!!!
SMOOCHES....Auntie b
