"I love the weekends cause our family always barbecues our food in the summer. Chicken and vegetables on the grill amazing. We had a bon fire afterwards and relaxed. My kids wanted smores. Who doesn't on a summer night, right? Well, as good as it sounded I passed and indulged on my fresh raspberries and watermelon instead. I feel like I had a rough start to the week but feel better and back on course to finish my month out strong. Little changes in daily life makes a big difference in the future."
Sunday:
"I have been enjoying my morning smoothies. I take whatever I have in the freezer or fridge and blend it right up. It's fun and easy to make. The kids have really been eating them right up. Keeping myself busy is the key on the weekend. Everyone around me is on relax mode and snacking here and there. So I made the family a list of errands to do while I cleaned the house. I just kept going. When I finished I prep dinner- stuffed peppers. Easy and fast cause it is the weekend I deserve to relax, too. Lol, I like ending the weekend with a walk with the family. Taking the dog for a walk too. It was a successful weekend. I even lost a pound! Not a huge number but it's something and even though things are going on in our family that would normally break me down and break my diet I'm staying strong for me and eating better.
Next week is my last week as SuperMom. I do have a lot of stress and huge family decisions taking over my train of thought these days. I think it's only fair to myself and others if I stop SuperMom, and give an update in a month and see how much I have lost and gained while on this journey. Getting wonderful coaching and ideas on how to change my diet has helped me in major ways! Now I want to use my tools and new knowledge about food and exercise and put them to the test. I'm excited to share my successes in the upcoming month.
Thanks to WeThrive Fitness for putting me back on track and to help me to see its the small changes that make the biggest indent on personal goals."

Well, it's been an amazing journey with SuperMom! I just spoke with her today, and she is feeling strong and happy and much more confident about her long term, healthy lifestyle goals than she was three weeks ago! Although she had to bow out a week early, (completely understandable considering the decisions she had to make last week!) she still feels that these three weeks were of immense value to her! We will check up on her in a month and see if she has stayed on track! Overall she lost 5 lbs of real weight (not water weight) in three weeks just by changing her diet! The nutritional goals we went over with her were:
1) Swapping simple carbs for complex carbs. (See Week 1 for simple swaps)
2) Filling her plate with primarily vegetables for 2 of 3 meals. (See Week 2 for explanation why)
3) Increasing her fiber intake (See Week 3 for an easy "how to")
These are simple, attainable nutritional goals that should be slowly added in to form habits. Try them out and let me know how it goes!
