Wow! We are already at Day 19. The days have flown by and the successes with teh challenge are starting to pile up. I realized that I've spent a lot of this blog talking about my journey (and triumphs) on the challenge. But I didn't start this challenge alone. My hubby and best friend joined me on this journey and though they haven't been featured here, they are absolutely rocking their challenges too. So today, I want to celebrate my challenge buddies for their successes, too!
Hubby came down the stairs yesterday with a big smile on his face because he had to pull his belt in a notch! This is a new belt from his first challenge which reached the point where he had to start drilling new notches in it because he couldn't pull it in anymore. Today, he was frustrated as he got dressed for work...........because his pants were too big! I told him that was a good problem to have, and an exciting one on his journey. In eight years of marriage, and trying multiple different diet or eating plans, I've never heard those words come out of his mouth. Hooray Hubby!
My BFF and I got together for lunch yesterday. Due to busy schedules, I hadn't seen her since we started the challenge, though our days have been filled with texting recipes and pictures of food on our plates. We've also been texting our successes as we've noticed them. To date, she'd been reporting a significant increase in energy, looser clothing, and most exciting for her was that other people were noticing her results as well! (Nothing beats a compliment when you've been working hard on yourself). So when we got together for lunch yesterday, I was very excited to see just how awesome she was looking. And if the number of times I watched her (and joined) her in hiking up the pants so they would stay up, I'd say we may have to schedule a shopping trip for some new clothes for our next get together. Hooray BFF!
So with 5 days left in the challenge, we are all making sure we are staying super focused so that we can maximize our results, and getting ready to celebrate our success over the last 24 days. And in looking forward to continuing this path of more energy and better health we are all preparing our maintenance plans to help us continue working towards our individual goals!
