I have had such a wonderful time!
I have been able to loose 11lbs and 4 1/2 inches!
I have gained confidence in my eating decisions...which has ALWAYS been my battle.

I am looking forward to being able to work out again (ask my husbund...I'm driving him crazy!)
I had surgery on my uterus last tues. I tried working out a bit yesterday, but definately paid for it in the evening.

Thanks ladies...it's been so much fun to walk this road with you!
Who knows, maybe we'll meet here again! :-)

i will leave the workouts up

For all you ladies that want that extra week.
Makes mw happy you want the extra week.

Well Done!

Is it all over? It hardly seems like it was 6 weeks, I had a blast doing the challenge. Now for the next challenge...keeping it going! I'm looking forward to doing my fitness test in the next few days and might even post the highlights, you never know. What I do know is that I'm tightened up all over and have dropped at least one size, both top and bottom.

My girls and I are attending a small wedding on Monday and there will be no shortage of wine flowing and chips for dipping. It's only 2 nights but will be the longest I've been away from my own kitchen since changing my eating habits. There aren't really restaurants available (in my price range anyway) so we'll actually be cooking our own food. It seems fitting to spend a couple of nights at wonderful hot springs to celebrate the completion of this program. Well done to all of us!

the bad with the good

Good
- almost everything...
- smarter eating
- stronger
- more visible muscle tone
- having fun
- working with like minded people
- underwear is saggy instead of my butt

Bad
- strained some sort of muscle in my core ( I think). Have to back off the ab work for now, boo.
- almost over
- have to go underwear shopping

Last 3 taped workouts are up

LAST WEEK IS HERE!

This is the last week ladies!
So give it your all, we have some fun workouts planned this week and we will review moves that you have learnt over the last 6 weeks.
I am proud of you all for making it this far, even thou a few of you had some speed bumps along the way you got back up and kept going. That is success!

jennifer's status:

So, first it was the week of very sick children and the ER visit that put a bit of a stumbling block into the challenge. And then, I felt so exhausted. I thought it was just the difficult week with my boys. But then... we found out. I'm pregnant! Right away, I contacted Tami to see if I could continue with the workouts. She gave me the go ahead. Now... if I could just have the energy, lack of nauseousness and perhaps a stronger will. I do plan on continuing with my new habit of working out. But I have indeed had a serious break in the routine. Which makes it difficult to rejoin. So, although my fit test will not quite look like what I had planned on it looking like at the end of these six weeks... I am just so happy to have this experience of thoughtfully planning meals and intentionally working out. I never worked out, at all, with my other two pregnancies. So, this will be a first. I look forward to seeing how this changes my pregnancy and birthing experience. It has indeed been a pleasure to connect in this space with all of you as we share our experiences in this challenge. Congratulations to all of you for making it this far. And thank you all for your support.

Giggles!

I am so often reminded that we need to take joy in the little things in life! and lately, you know, I'm feeling pretty joyful because I am setting a healthy example for my kids!

While working out the other day, I turned around to find my 6 yr old (Olivia) was doing, perfectly executed, one armed pushups. She took great joy in the fact that I could NOT do it!
and this morning while working out, my 4 yr old (Cooper) came downstairs, gave me a big hug, and said, "woa Mom, you're smok'n hot!
***giggles***

Workouts!

You can do do it ladies!
And have fun while your doing these, that is super important.
