Saturday - 2/11. Laura

Today I went back to my bad habit. I am owning it and moving on. I
wish everyday would be perfect, but this is real life. I am still
learning to not be derailed from my goals by each pebble in the road I
step on. It was a blip, and I got back on track. (I will walk extra
on the treadmill tonight ). I know I have made progress as I now
encounter less pebbles which come fewer and further between and I feel
so in control if regaining control. We have the power and I intend to
keep using it!!

Stress is a choice it is as simple as that. I can control whether I get stressed or not. 

Let us all remember we are an amazing person.  And we will all be winners~Dory

Have not gotten my water in today as I normally would and boy can I
tell. Looking towards a strong and restful weekend filled with me
time!! Isn't that really the best for our souls? Stay warm all.

Thursday ~ 2/9 Laura

Having a good week and I hope to keep that "balance" going forward.  Looking forward to a strong workout tonight and the ensuing reminders for the next several days afterwards that I worked hard. Sounds like everyone is getting close to their goals.  Awesome!  Keep the focus and keep doing good and you will feel good.

Hello!  I hope everyone has had a great week despite the outcome of the game on Sunday.  Kayla and I were just realizing that we are nearing the end of class.  I'm about 3 - 5 lbs shy from my goal weight (I'll find out tonight, yikes), so I really need to stay focused.  Can't wait to see everyone!! 

Sunday 2/5 ~ Laura

Pats are just about to start and I thought I would take a minute to
catch up on blogs. Glad I did! All good, right and makes you want to
keep going. I am going to try the oatmeal recipe and YES Kelly, you
are getting stronger. I could see it last week. You look awesome!
Getting to any 6am workout I feel is a great accomplishment. I always
have to remind myself how amazing I feel the rest of the day and how
productive I have been while others are still sleeping. One small step
each day in a better direction is a step closer to making it happen.
Have a great week everyone.

2/3 cup water

1/4 cup raspberries

2 Tablespoons Herbalife Chocolate Protein Drink

I was thinking yesterday...How to make lifestyle changes.  You surround yourself with people who love you and appreciate you, those who make you laugh and feel good. You forget the negative, and focus on the positive. Love everyone and pray for the ones who don't treat you right. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting up is living."

Yes, I am important, and we together can make these lifestyle changes for life. 

Exercise + Eating Healthy + Excellent Support = Extraordinary Healthy MEEeee!!!!  :)

Hugs to all~Dory

Good Morning America had a small bit on the news this morning about
how bad sugar is for you and how so much of it is hidden in what we
eat daily that we are not really aware. They would like it taxed for
foods with high amounts. Makes you aware when they show granola as a
high sugar item of how much we take "healthy" labels at face value.
Glad we are learning to be me suspicious.

Friday Feb 3 - Kelly

Happy Friday!!  Holy endorphins!  Every week that I make it to 6 AM suspension training on Wednesday, my mood definitely brightens.  Changes are still happening every day.  I feel like I've built up enough muscles to actually feel the burn where I'm supposed to.  When I used to do crunches and jack knives, I would feel it in my back or legs first.  I would feel so weak when I couldn't lift my butt off the floor, but sticking with it really improves your form.  The little accomplishments really add up and we should pat ourselves on the back (and then do one more rep!)  I hope everyone does something nice for themselves this weekend because we are all doing awesome!!       

Friday ~ 2/3 Laura

Felt a bit defeated (okay pissed) the scale on Wed was not friendly. (I dont really know how unfriendly, just know it was) I know I need to really put on a full court press with the workouts so that is my plan this week.  I am going to take time this weekend  to get together a book (like Fletchers) and make a plan to be aware.  Being aware of getting back to the basics and basic choices. Like all of us in class, we are all so busy that second nature is not quite second nature yet. I am avoiding situations this weekend that I know will derail me and I am really good with it.  Derail my eating and derail my mind set.  I will get on top of my struggle and reach my goal!!!  Have a great weekend all and GO PATS!!!!

Wednesday 2/1 - Kelly

Hello everyone, had a good workout with Johnny this morning.  Just got done my salad with turkey for lunch.  For some reason the salads this week just isn't cutting it.  You know how some times you say, boy that salad was good and other times not so good.  This week is a not so good week but I am sticking with them. Have a great day!

Monday 1/30 ~ Laura

The news just said the best way to keep your brain sharp in old age is
exercise. Sounds like we will be the smartest people around. I had 2
workouts today and I feel exhausted, but very smart!!
