First Meeting

Hooray! The first meeting was just what I needed. I came away so motivated that I have exercised a record four days in a row! Thank you, my fellow slimming sisters. We talked about chapter one and I came away with three awesome goals:

I am going to track the minutes I exercise. On the 17th Shyla and I will compare numbers. The one with the most gets taken to Subway for lunch. On the way out of the meeting Shyla confided to me that the goal she wrote down is not to exercise more, it is to "exercise more than Bethany." Woo hoo! It is on.

I am also aiming to only eat sitting down and to only eat off a plate (bye-bye brownies from the pan.)

Also, my friend Emily and I are doing no sugar till the first week in Feb. (when I will be making a fabulous cake for a family birthday.) We are also going to do no sugar (meaning candy and baked goods) between major, planned events. I love having someone to keep me honest.

FYI: We will be checking in with each other on Tues the 10th, but we will wait till the 17th for our next official meeting.

Love and Luck,
Bethany

    Congratulations on going sugar free!!! You'll be astounded at the difference ... you'll have so much more energy, you won't get as sick, your tastebuds will reset, it'll get to the point that you won't even need it. Hooray for you! Are you going off ALL sugar ... including in breads, canned sauces, yogurts, cereals, etc? That was the struggle for me - it hides in everything. Good luck!!

      Holy cow, are you off ALL sugar? No wonder you look so great. I am off cereal and baked goods and ice cream, candy etc. but bread, fruit and canned sauces are still on the menu. Do you indulge on special occasions or are you totally off? Either way, good for you.
