Week two: raising the bar
Author: Peter Jaret
This week the Ms.Fits ramped up their efforts, with an average of 56 minutes of activity per person every day. That’s an extra 17 minutes more than last week. Good work! One common pitfall of any healthy lifestyle program is unrealistic expectations. Fortunately, the Ms.Fits seem to have the right attitude. As Sue, one of the team members, wrote in a comment this week: “even though I’m participating in this 100 Day Challenge, and my goal is to lose weight (along with being healthier), I’m really trying to keep things in perspective and not approach this like a diet, but a lifestyle change that includes enjoying food. And to look at the health benefits instead of my reflection in the mirror.” Bravo to that!
Not much new to report on my end, otherthan we are still maintaining our good habits of walking twice a day–yeah Ms. Fits! I’m trying to make healthier food choices and I’m watching my calorie intake. I haven’t lost any more weight, but I haven’t gained back any either and that’s a good thing. I really haven’t noticed much difference in my energy level, but I do feel like I’m doing good by making these changes and that makes it all worth the effort.
