Goal Within Sight! - Blog: Austin

I finally broke the 200 mark!!! If my family could just stay healthy it would be sooo much easier!! Everyone keeps passing illnesses around. I am starting to feel so much better. I guess not lugging around 39 pounds that I used to lug around makes a big difference. I hope I reach my goal...Beat my mom in a challenge this week in a 2 min. plank!!
I still need to work on the food thing. Fruits and veggies....I really have to work to get them in my diet. I have a picture of me from before and I can really tell the difference. It helps that others are starting to notice how much i have lost. That makes the hard days a little easier!

A Learning Process - Blog: Jennifer

Wow, how fast the weeks go by! So sorry for not keeping in touch sooner...the past two weeks have been very much still in the learning process. I don't remember what all I've filled you in on, but I started this journey by changing my food choices to healthy choices.....then we added to keep track of calories & now for the past two weeks I've stayed the same weight. So, now we are adding protein bars becuz I am not getting the amount of calories that are needed hence the stumped Ginny is trying this for the week. I've been asked if I'm discouraged, but I honestly have not been....I don't have time to be......between normal activites & remembering & finding things to eat, getting up early to exercise....I am just here for The Body Building to direct me in any direction & I try to follow. There is always two sides & the other side is the exericse program....I get in an hour 5 days a week & try to fit in some things at home. I had a friend join The Body Building this past week & that makes working out go so much faster & we push each other. Not all days do you feel like giving more than 100%. The atmosphere at TBB makes showing up easier, very inviting & and the pay off has been for the good. I feel better and can definitely tell I'm getting a little more fit - a long way to go, but been worth the time put in! Will try very hard to remember to let you know how things are going mid week. Talk soon Jenn
