Encouragement and Support, and a little report.

I have been so impressed with my family's support and encouragement as I have been striving to get fit and healthy.

They ask me if I have worked out to when they come home from school, they have asked me to go jogging or walking with them.

They have been asking for healthy dinners and snacks.

my favorite supporter has to be Ben.

Every day he gives me a big hug and kiss and says mom you LOOK AWSOME!

I can already see your muscles getting big and your tummy getting small. ( he said this on day 2)

When you have a support team it really makes it easier.

Remember my plan is a 12 week life style change.

What this means is I am giving my self 12 weeks to get rid of bad habits and learn good ones.

My goal is to have a lean fit body in the end and to have created good habits.

I don't have a weight loss goal because for me I always weigh more when I am fit that when I am not.

The reason is because of muscle mass, muscles weigh more than fat.

Here is my report for the last 2 weeks.

I have done great on getting 6 small meals a day. I

I have more energy because my blood sugars are staying regular and because my blood sugars are staying my metabolism is working faster.

I can tell because I am hot all the time.

The first week I only worked out 4 times the second week I started Jillian Michael's 30 day shred.

I am on day 6, my goal is to make it through the full 30 days. In the past the furthest I have made it is day 17.

OK I weighed myself today and was surprised to see a five pound loss.

I have taken a half inch off my waist and a half inch of my thighs.

I was very happy with what the results.

I will report back in another 2 weeks and let you know how I am doing.

Wish me luck!
