Body For Life Update

We are beginning week 8! This is exciting. My goal is to actually follow the plan through April. The Body for Life program is only 12 weeks long, but we’ll actually do ours for 16 weeks.

I turn 30 on April 27th, so I hope to see a huge difference in my before and after photos!

I had chicken and rice with broccoli for lunch today. For breakfast, I scarfed down a bowl of oatmeal and a small portion of low-fat cheese. For my mid-morning snack, I had an orange and another small portion of low-fat cheese.

This weekend was a little crazy, so we kind of had a free weekend (Saturday & Sunday) instead of a free day. I didn’t over do it though. We were busy and had very long days each day, so the workout didn’t happen on Sat.

All in all though, I’m excited to be able to say that we’ve worked out and ate very healthy for 8 weeks! It’s awesome. I’ve noticed that I feel more energized and I really believe my immune system is a lot healthier since I’ve been eating a 1-2 pieces of fruit each day.

I’m really craving our sloppy joes though. Maybe we can have them again next week. We have a great recipe from the Eating for Life cookbook.

God’s Best!

Super Slim-O-Meter #2

Happy MLK Day!

Hey folks. Just took my second Super Slim-O-Meter this morning. Although, I was not really looking forward to it I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t take one at the end of last week since it was my first week and I thought I’d not see much progress. However, after 2 weeks I’m actually amazed at the reduction in my mid-section of my profile. I still feel a little fluffy around the middle, but I’m excited to have completed 2 weeks and to be roaring into week 3!

Check it out:

I’ll be working out later this evening. Lydi didn’t have school or work today so we decided to hit the gym later. I’ll be posting our menu tonight or tomorrow for this week. Should be exciting!
