Not as tough

These exercises must be paying off, it wasn't as hard today. This makes me happy. Who would have thought that exercise would make me feel that way. Not me in a million years.

Sugar vs Trans Fats

Today was our rest day. It felt weird I must say, but Hannah, Myah and I played badminton for a little while and then I did about 20 crunches.

At lunch today, I was making mini pizzas on tortillas. I have both white and whole wheat and I thought that I would eat the wheat ones myself. After talking to my mom she told me that the wheat ones would have sugar in them. Sure enough when I looked, they did. Five grams of sugar for 2 tortillas. So I thought okay well let me look at the white ones, they had no sugar but 2.5 grams of trans fats something the wheat ones didn't have. I guess you have to decide which is your bigger poison. Based purely on taste I would rather eat the white ones!

I also had a sip of Coca Cola today, for the first time in nearly two weeks. I thought that I would love it, but I didn't. It gave me burps and an awful aftertaste in my mouth. That at least makes the temptation to drink it much less.

From My Little Trainer Myah

I am hoping you guys  will pass your goal . I am working with my mom  and I am having fun with her. I  hope I can work with all of you some day because I need to get healthy so I hope to workout with you soon so BYE!

Not Allowing Fear to Take Over

My biggest fear in this is that I will fail or that I will reach my desired weight and gain it back. I am thankful for my mom who reminded me today that victory is in Christ. That fear is a tool of the enemy and I should not give an ear to the devils whisperings that I will not make it.

I want God to be honoured by my body and I can trust Him to help me be victorious in this battle of losing weight.

Happy

I am so happy to be working on my weight loss.  The exercise is not always easy but I know it helps to me to keep healthy.  I need to keep in mind this is a life  long process not just a weight loss  diet.
Like they say in AA it is one day at a time,  some times moment by moment.
Thanks  Brenda for creating this blog and asking us to work together to lose weight and support one another in the process . I know it will be a blessing to all of us as we work together.

First Weigh In

Mom down 2.4 pounds
Brenda down 2.3 pounds
Michelle up 1.2 pounds

This is a pretty good start. I would like to consistently lose about 2 pounds a week. I know that it may vary a bit, but this is a good guideline for getting to my goal weight in a reasonable time and not too fast.

Keep up the good work everyone.

Feel That Tingling

Hannah and I just walked three laps of SAM base and did two sets of step ups. Felt the tingling in my legs for the first time since we started working out. Have a feeling there will be more of this tomorrow.

Workout Day 3

Exercising today was a little easier than the first day. I think the hardest things to do are still planks and push ups. Looking forward to working out again tomorrow. It will be a little different as it is a cardio workout.

Tomorrow is also our first weigh in. I am hoping for at least two pounds. We will see!

Just finished our work out

I hope I did not complain as much to day.  Hope fully I will get better at not saying negative   words.
Exercising was not as bad as it could have been. I  only feel a little ake in my middle. Of corse that's were a lot of fat sits. Hopefully not of to much longer.
Eventually  there will come a day when I lookin the mirror and will see the results of  all the hard work ahead.
Looking forward to just walking to morrow.

Changes

I am already noticing a change. Not a huge drop in my size, but I feel better. It has been one week since I last drank coke, which I used to drink nearly 2 litres a day. There are some challenges. I am trying to keep my intake to 1600 calories and this can be hard when many things here do not have labels to help.
