{reboot}

It's been awhile since we've been doing regular weigh-ins, for various reasons. But as promised, we are back! This is our official reboot!

Our weights are as follows:

{{Karen}} 154.8 - "I really need to start exercising regularly, because diet alone is not working for me anymore." Karen wants to lose 20 pounds.

{{Yvonne}} 200.5 - "Only half a pound to the 100s. So close!" Yvonne wants to lose 40 pounds.

{{Megan}} 242.6 - "This summer is my time to take my body back. No more excuses, ever." Megan wants to lose 77 pounds.

There are some big changes happening with us here at T.F.S. and I'll be talking about them soon. In the mean time, stay well my friends! Remember to put into your body what you want to get out of it. You wouldn't poison an animal or a plant so don't poison your body with toxic foods. <3

XO,
Meg

{flirty thirty}

Hi dear friends.

What have I been doing? Turning thirty, that's what. Turning thirty and getting ready to graduate from college {{I did it!}} and preparing for life as a "real adult." I honestly feel really good! Stressed out? Yes. But I feel like this is my time. I'm going to embrace my thirties and believe that amazing things are in store for me.

So, here are some highlights from my retro 80s party! Enjoy.

The Pacman Cake- Thanks Sissy!

The Boys

Haha, I don't know.

Smiles!

Me & Michael having our moment.

 Such good times with amazing friends and family. <3

I just wanted to share this with you, although not related to fitness, let's just keep it all real. I'm ready for this new journey into thirty, and I'm ready to take control of my life again (it has not been easy for me lately & I will write more about some food struggles soon.)

<3 xoxo

{nineteenth weigh-in}

We are so sorry that we've missed a couple of weigh-ins, dear friends! This past weekend I was out of town, but we did manage to do our weigh in, which officially brings us to week 19.

Karen and I [[Megan]] have been maintaining their weight while Yvonne has lost 4 pounds! Look how close she is to the ONEderland! We are extremely excited to see what the next couple of weeks bring.

So much has been happening, and although we've been behind-- and although this post will remain short-- we have a bunch of fun posts coming up soon! If you want to see Meg & Yvonne all dressed up in 80s attire for Meg's dirty thirty, stay tuned!

Meg + Sissies

P.S. Go Kings!

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?

{sixteenth weigh-in}

Hello fitness friends!

Can you believe we're already in week 16? This is also our measurements week, but they will be posted in a separate blog post later this week [hopefully by wednesday!] 

I just want to give some totals for everyone who is just joining the site. It has definitely been a rough four months and we all feel like we should have made better progress during this amount of time. From our first weigh in until today this is what's gone on:

//Karen has maintained her weight during this time // 

//Yvonne has lost a total of about 13 pounds // 

//Megan has lost a total of about 8 pounds//

This is still progress and we've worked really hard to make healthy changes and not to gain any weight. We've also had non-scale victories which we will discuss later this week! Those are important!

So let's go ahead and recap this week!

{{Karen}} lost 1.4 lbs since last week. She is working on maintaining a regular exercise schedule and drinking more water.

{{Yvonne}} is up slightly from last week, but is acknowledging that it is her monthly cycle and knows she can bring it back down soon!

{{Megan}} is down 1.6 lbs since last week. She's been focusing on healthy food choices while at class all day, and maintaining an exercise schedule of at least 4-5x / week. 

We look forward to the continual progress and hope to see more consistent results as the next couple of months before summer approaches!

xoxo,

Meg, Karen, Yvonne

{thunder storms}

We live every day, doing our normal {{routine}} getting up, eating breakfast, going to work or school, come home eat dinner, try to get a work out in, and go to bed. Today as I sit at home watching out my window, the thunderstorm that is passing thru, drinking some tea and watching a movie, I am thinking about the daily routine we go thru.

We have to be the {{change}} we want! We have to do the things we want, when we want! Go out and do something, go dance in the rain! Go ride your bike in on the beach, sing on the porch, do anything as long as its for your self! We are too often caught up in just surviving our day to day lives. 

What will happen when you do this? It will make you feel better, make you want to be healthier! Make you a much happier person in general! and happy people lose weight faster then sad and depressed people! 

So let what ever storm happening in your life be the reminder you may need to get up and make your life the way you want it to be.

<3 Karen 

{Fifteenth weigh in}

We are so sorry that we missed our last weigh in!! We have all been super busy!  <3 How are you all doing on your journey to good health? We hope you're doing well and we'd love to hear from you!

It's been a bit hectic this week because Karen has been working 6 days a week, Yvonne has been busy with her rambunctious two year old, and Megan is trying to get good grades at school so is studying her butt off! Although we are so excited that she has gotten into rock climbing! 

We'll keep it short and break it down for you!

{{Karen}} Gain of 1.8 pounds, which was to be expected with all the crap I ate for my birthday! Starting back on track full force! 

{{Yvonne}} Down 3.2 pounds! Way to go! Got that grove going!! 

{{Megan}} Maintained...  She says "I'm actually really happy with this. "Since I was on prednisone 2 weeks ago, and I have been doing the rock climbing I know I have gained a ton of muscle wait!" 

We are really loving doing the challenges every month, and can't wait to show off the results of them! Please feel free to share your results too! 

Stay happy, stay healthy!

<3

Meg, Karen, & Yvonne
