Extreme Family Nutrition Makeover Challenge - Week #6

We've finished up Week 6 of the Challenge and can see the light at the end of the tunnel...lol

Not that we are going to immediately revert back to old ways and habits, but there are things that we miss.....going out to dinner once in a while, drinking a diet soda, not being so uber conscience of every fruit, vegetable and fiber going into our bodies.  I really think that quite a few of the changes are going to stick.

I think we're going to sign Fred up at Anytime Fitness, either that, or we're going to by him a recumbent bike to exercise on at home.  He doesn't like the treadmill, he doesn't like the elliptical...whine, whine, whine....lol

I think I'm going to have to take it easy on the jogging as my left heel started to hurt today when I was working out and I certainly don't want a flare up of plantar fasciitis.  That would definitely derail my fitness routine.  :(

Week #6 had us playing quite a bit of Frisbee together.  We can all throw and catch the Frisbee pretty well! my niece joined us one night and even she can throw and catch it good for her age.   I think we got 4 nights of family activity in and the other days we were all pretty active.  Got the max points for that! 

I was home part of the week, so it was easier to keep Connor and Fred on track with their fruit and vegie intake.  I swear if I didn't say something to them, neither of them would even THINK about eating a single bite of fruit or vegie.

As of this morning, Fred is down about 12.5 pounds and I'm down 5.......and below a number I haven't seen for awhile.  That's a good feeling.  2 more weeks!

So great that you guys have been doing this! I'm really impressed at your diligence! I'm sure the 3 of us would have been kicked out of the challenge, if that is possible!
