This week's update will be short and sweet because I'm still feeling under the weather. Connie and I registered another successful week despite the fact that we are both dealing with cold/flu symptoms. Connie is feeling much better and will start her workout program at the ladies fitness center (with her Mom) on Monday (02/11/2008). I don't feel quite as good as Connie, so my workout program might be put on hold for another week. Regardless, we combined to lose 8.8 pounds this week, for a total combined weight loss of 44.2 pounds since Jan. 02, 2008. Connie (21 pounds) has achieved 17.8% of her weight loss goal while I'm (23.2 pounds) currently at 32.8% of my goal. One thing I would like to reiterate, we do have a cheat day on Saturday each week, and we feel this mini reward helps us to remain focused during the week and on Sunday. We don't overdo it, but like I stated previously, if we desire a fat juicy hamburger, then we eat it. Not saying this cheat day twist will work for everybody, but for us it seems to keep us motiviated. Good luck to everyone out there that is fighting the good weight loss fight. Until next time this is Rick signing out.
