Well, we did it. We did exactly what we said we would not do. We got a little puffed up and thought we were able to sneak a bit and rationalize those girl scout cookies + + +---well whatever we told ourselves, the scale ratted us out. Between all 4 of us, we did not loose one pound. A few ounces here and few there, but none that even add up to a pound...how dreadful.
No excuses....just a touch irritated, all of us. Here we are at the start of week 4...we need to get our butts in gear! How about you?
The hard part is that we know what works, why can't we stay committed for a bit longer? A little cheat here, a little cheat there...all of a sudden we are eating pizza, beer & Shamrock shakes! YIKES!
Here is to a much better week than last!

Progress 2 weeks in
We have made it through week 2. Workouts great, food pretty good. Commitment, strong as ever. How about you?
Our progress after 2 weeks= mama down 3 lbs, "E" down 2, Thing 2 down 2.5 and Thing 3 down 5.2!
UFFDA!
Although we all know we have our weak points/lack of will at times and still like beer, we are happy with our progress. We must stay committed. Starting Week 3 I know that if I stay clean and committed, I will see a brand new number on the scale. This is about the time I like to give myself a little lenience and rationalize about why it is ok to eat this or maybe miss a workout. Not this time. Anticipation of seeing a new number will motivate me for this week. What is your motivation this week?
Black Bean Hummus...here is a newly discovered treat that really jazzes up any veggies with minimal calories plus fiber!
Put into your food processor or blender
1 can black beans
red wine vinegar
garlic
cumin
lemon juice
push the button and blend to preference and get ready for a taste treat! This is also great instead of butter or mayo for a sandwich. Give it a try, you will love it!
Let us know how you doing! Remember for 60 days, a workout 6 of 7 days and clean eating is your priority. You can do it! Put your plan together and go for it!

One Week in!
OK...we, 3 of the 4, have weighed in after 1 week. I, no loss, exactly the same --there are some variables here, but I won't bore you with the details--baseline this week is no loss. Really working hard for next week, I need 4 lbs! Thing 2-- 2 lbs and Thing 3 --3 lbs. E is a few days behind us on the scale...we will see her progress next week. All in all, although the scale is moving slower for some of us, I guess just me, we are doing well. No missed workouts, great food...now the key--stick with it!
Weekends are always difficult for me. I like beer and all the routine including veggies/water that my body is used to M-F, flies out the window. What I really cannot figure out is that when I am in a great rhythm, I choose to let it go on the weekend. I feel much better, more energy, positive attitude + + + when I discipline myself and I move to irritation mode when I do not...Knock Knock Puddin Head...
How are you doing? Who out there is doing this with us? Tell us about your success!
Lesson learned last weekend...if you are serious about an early week weigh in, keep your fiber intake up!
