2nd week over..

I LOST ONE POUND! thanks molly for a great week...i traveled a bunch to mollys area in stonybrook and used the school workout room! it was great and it was HOT..right molly!

thanks, molly for your encouragement and devotions...you still own me a couple i think..

thanks for everyone...for the notes and snacks and help! thanks for all looking out for me!

Today was rough...

Words... the things you say can bring a person up and it can bring a person down. We all need help with what comes out of our mouths...Molly definitely challenged me in that area.. When i get hungry and i dont eat..i get a headache instantly and it happen today..and i took it all out on Eli. Then Molly comes with this devo on our words..and how we should be encouraging and I wasn't at all today! BUT...so many people were encouraging to me today and i need to take there example and go with it...
WHAT A WORKOUT TODAY!!! im feeling good! My abs are killing me.i guess thats good though...1/2 way through week two! Thanks molly for an awesome job with putting up with me!

MOLLY SHTEIERMAN

WEEK TWO
i cant believe i made it through the first week! yeah!
But this first day of week two was a killer....Molly's
workouts are no joking matter....it was great..
i never sweated so much in my life! She also was very
encouraging along the way.

im learning alot about people..through this journey..
and im learning alot about me..
i need to have things right with God...and that affects how
my workouts...my eating...and my day goes...
Molly is encouraging me to read the bible more too..
I do read but not everyday! I need to get in the word more!
thanks molly for today!

one more plus of the day was that out church softball team
ANGELS BEAT northport! GO TEAM!

End of Week ONE.....

WEIGHT-229

OH MY GOSH...i lost 3 pounds my first week! I'm so excited!
Thanks goes to cheryl ...who had this hard first week!!! You're such a great friend
who kept pushing me and pushing me. Thank you for taking time out of your week
and helping me get healthier!

also thanks to Tracy and Cristi who keep suppling me with good food! YOURE THE BEST!


TOMORROW...Monday, July 7th...is MOLLY'S WEEK! Cant wait..
thanks for all your prayers and cards of encouragement everyone!

Cheryl...GRRR

"ok ok ok....ILL DO IT! ".....those are the words that usually come out of my mouth when cheryl calls me and says you ready to go...oh boy, today she took me as a guest to her gym and she worked me hard. Lets just say i just applied bengay to my legs...ouch!
but i got through it and its all good! i feel good inside!

Yesterday, Carol Trocchia came by and she gave such great advice and I feel even more energized by her words. She is getting me started and she gave me an exercise ball and dvd. I'm going to start that i believe tomorrow.

Eli has been away...and he is coming home tomorrow night....
please pray for us now ...b/c i have been starting this week of a new lifestyle without him. Now i have to focus on him too as well as my workouts and other things. Which he will be doing too..its hard for me to express what im feeling..just pray ...haha THANKS!

So far So good

Its been going really well so far...i now know how out of shape I am...but cheryl has been pushing me little by little and the first week is going good. THANKS CHERYL! i have had more people signed up for the 40 weeks and i have july and august filled!
COME ON PEOPLE...i need your help ask me to see my calendar and sign up...

luv you all...and i thank you all and keep praying for me!
