We’re back for our weekly update on the State Farm 50 Million Pound Challenge. It’s not too late to join our team that we have going on their site. Here is an update on how we’re doing so far:

HER VIEW:

Guys, I feel like I may have fallen off of the wagon during our recent trip to Las Vegas. The buffets were sooo good. My initial reaction was to stop eating once we got back but instead of doing something so drastic I’ve resolved to just sticking to the meal plan and trying to increase my exercise regimen to make up for the few pounds I may have gained back. Back to the grind and it’s time to refocus on my weight loss goals.

HIS VIEW:

While we take this little fitness/health journey something interesting is happening. I actaully am finding myself having to be held more responsible by also blogging about it during the process. You may not have a blog but maybe you can join with friends and send out a status update every week. Just something to keep yourselves accountable to someone. It definitely helps to keep you honest.

We spent the past weekend in Vegas so we definitely got some good exercise in with all of the walking we did in the process up and down the strip. All of that walking probably was just enough to neutralize the buffets but we did make sure to partake in healthy food choices like fruit whenever we did eat at them.

This week we need to get back onto schedule and push it to the next level. Before you know it our summer trip will be coming up and we both want to be prepared. Until next week….

BMWK family, give us your update? We recieved some good news from some of you last weekand want you to keep it up. If you haven’t already, be sure to join our team and we’ll see you next week with another update.

I’m doing pretty good. A couple of weeks ago I gain 6 of the 7 pounds I previosly lost back. Now I’ve lost 3 of them again. A recent unrelated trip to the doctor triggered me. Yesterday instead of going out to the park (I have allergies) I stayed in and did my wii fit for 40 to 45 minutes. Then I vacuumed the apartment. The day befor I cleaned just about the entire apartment. I plan to hit the wii fit every morning unless I have something else that needs to be done.
