Day 2 #100HealthyDays!

Dear fitness pals,

It's officially day two of the 100 Healthy Days challenge! Karen, Sean & I have committed to our workouts and healthy choices! How are you doing? If you haven't started yet, join in! We have a NEW hashtag! #TFS100HealthyDays! <-- The Fitness Sisters' 100 Healthy Days.

Our posts are a day behind which allows us to collaborate & send our photos of food/workouts to each other. Some of us have to workout late at night, so it's almost impossible to get the blog up the same day! But not to worry, we are still here!

Day two update!
Sean- Rode his bike for a total of about 5 miles today for exercise. He also tracked and was within calories.

Megan- Worked out at the gym doing cardio & strength training! She also was within calories.

Karen- Made healthy food choices throughout the day and did some power cardio!

Looking forward to taking this journey with everyone. Hope to hear from you!

xo,

I have been trying to help a friend of mine lose weight, and She gets all pumped for about a week or two, then just gives up. I always get so frustrated with her for not keeping up with it all. This time was no different, she lost 10 pounds in the first three weeks then said its too hard to keep track of her food, that she is too tired to work out at the end of the day, that she has other stuff to do. I was so mad! I took all this time out of my life to show her how to track all her food, get apps on her phone, and even give her work out plans.. I was very encouraging and helpful, and what does she do, just give up?? It really hurt my feelings... 
     Then I got to thinking.. I haven't been doing what I should be doing either.. I had been eating like crap, not working out and just not caring. Sure I had "good" reasons for not working out as I had an injury, but I could have found some way to work out! I hadnt been eating right, because I started my new job and didnt have the time.. I could have made better choices! So I have realized, I am just like her, I just dont have anyone that is helping me that I am frustrating for making bad choices... So what shall I do now? I shall make the right choices, the smart choices, the HEALTHY choices!
 what are you going to do?

Sisters are the most amazing friends on earth <3

We are The Fitness Sisters and we warmly welcome you into our sisterhood/brotherhood {boys ARE allowed}. There are three of us: Megan, Yvonne, & Karen (in whichever order you prefer!) We are all in/or entering our early 30s and have decided to band together to support each other with our weight loss goals. Karen & I (Megan) started in 2011 and have both lost a significant amount of weight already! This is our year to push through and meet our ultimate goals! Yvonne, a mommy of two, has joined in this year to lose her pregnancy weight and get her pre-mommy body back. Please check out our bios for more personal information!

We want to share our enthusiasm and support for health and fitness with everyone else on a similar journey or just interested in being healthy!

As of January 2013 we are resuming a fitness vlog {reality video blog} that Karen and I started in 2011. Yvonne is our newest member and we couldn't be more thrilled! <3 Every two weeks we will post our newest videos to this blog! You can watch us go about our daily lives and see the tough decisions we have to make in order to meet our goals!

In addition, we will be posting here regularly about our progress, tips, food ideas, fitness plans, funny anecdotes, and just life on the road to being fun, fit & fabulous!

Check in every Saturday for our weekly weigh-in's where we hop on the scale and take a photo! {{brave faces}} We will also be posting measurements, so stay tuned!

We hope that you find this a WARM, {loving}, ACCEPTING, {{supportive}} place to share your own stories and journey. We would love to hear from you, swap tips and ideas, and build friendships. There are multiple ways to get in touch with us! Please visit our contact page! Or leave us a comment below!

Please be patient while we build this community together; it's still a work in progress. We are so happy to share our journey with you and hope you will share yours with us or at least give us support along the way!! We all have some really big hurdles to jump and we can definitely use a few cheerleaders!
