It's working!

Three and a half weeks into this new healthy plan and I'm so proud to report that we are all doing very well. It's very exciting and it tells me that I'm doing something good for my family and that, most importantly, they are accepting the changes very well.

DH - lost 11 lbs - 3.72%
Me - lost 6 lbs - 2.76%
DD (16yo) - lost 2 lbs - 1.47%
DS (11yo) - lost 4 lbs - 2.77%
DS (8yo) - lost 4 lbs - 3.50%
DD (5yo) - lost 2 lbs - 3.22%

This weekend we have planned:
Friday - 1 hour swimming for the kids while DH and I work out
Saturday - 1-1/2 hour swimming for the kids while DH and I work out
Sunday - Boys 1 hour boot camp then 1 hour aqua-exercise, DD-5yo 1 hour swimming, DD-16yo 1 hour work out then 1 hour swimming, DH and I 1 hour workout and 1 hour Pilates.

It's getting such an habit to cook and eat healthier. Last night we didn't work out and I actually missed it. Even if it's only 30 minutes here and there, it feels good.

I also take a multi-vitamin each morning, Nutri-Silk vitamins twice a day for my hair and Calcium caramel chew each night.

Thursday:
Breakfast: Nature Valley Oat and Honey bar and vanilla Active yogurt
Lunch: leftover butternut squash couscous and Dole mandarin fruit cup
Snack: Sliced apple and Active cheese stick
Dinner: Barilla Plus penne with Swiss Cheese, 1 slice whole grain white Sara Lee bread with Smart Balance butter and Breyers Light French Silk Ice Cream
