First one down...

Hi Everyone! Today is the official end of the first week! How is everyone doing? I'm going to be honest, I'm an emotional eater! This week has been especially stressful at work and I have eaten lots of junk to help me deal... :) Luckily this morning I'm finally a little down from last weigh in but I know I can do better. I am ticked off at myself but this is the beauty of this kind of challenge. I have the option to start over and be better. Tomorrow is Easter. It is kind of rotten that this is another holiday that is filled with food and treats! I know that it is a huge struggle, for me personally, to stay out of the goodies when everyone around me eating them, but I find that if I have healthy options around me I tend to do better. That is why my contribution to Easter dinner with the in-laws will be a veggie tray and fresh fruit salad.

I just want you to know that I think you are all so awesome! I have struggled with weight for awhile and it is so important to be healthy now so we are healthy later. There is a lady, in one of the aerobics classes that I go to, who I'm pretty sure is in her early 60's and she out jumps and kicks and double's the weight I lift every time! I desperately want to be able to do that when I'm her age and I know that lifestyle needs to start now.

One of my aerobics teachers always yells as we are sweating and groaning, "Come on you cute little bodies! You are so worth it!" I always kind of laugh under my breath but it is so true!


Good luck this week!
