Thanks graffitigarden. Just finished my exam. Got 100%.
Heading to the gym for a zumba class.

[goingforward]

Doing good on P1. Went to zumba class today and it was great, as always. I can not believe that my kids go back to school at the end of August, that is so soon. I have not enjoyed them much since I am taking classes this summer , but I am sure we will have more other opportunities to have fun. I am getting straight A+ at school so far, hard work, but worthy, I am really happy with the outcomes. I have been making different meals lately, and experimenting with different recipes from the recipe section, never paid that much attention before to this section, but now I am truly enjoying it. Chao

Started P2 yesterday. Lost 4.6 pounds on P1. I am very happy with that. My work-outs are insane. I am definitely sweating my b...., but I will do whatever it takes to shed off these extra pounds. Feel great, really energetic and motivated. Chao!
Posting on P2 now.

[OnaMi]

Great Job GF (yay)..you are doing it woohoo!!! beat that fat down!!!

[goingforward]

Yesterday was my last day of the first week of P2, and I am very happy to say that I lost 3.2 more pounds. I am THRILLED. I feel strong and determined to gain this battle, because that is what it has been, a battle. My personal trainer is doing an awesome job with my work-out routines , incorporating different things to make it more exciting. I feel great. This week, following my doctor and nutritionist's orders, instead of having a grain and a fruit, I am having just a fruit, the idea is not to retain more water, because I have retained enough, so I have to watch it. I am very confident that this time it will work.

[OnaMi]

Great Job GF..Yahoo!!!! you're working it (high-five)..great idea to take those grains S.L.O.W.L.Y.and eventually you'll find one that works for you.
pfft..I fought with popcorn for months but I'm not scared of it any more once i learned how to eat it.not ready to tackle Bread.( i will later) I've never been a big bread fan,so i can do w/o that.Have worked in my whole wheat crackers though keep on keeping on

Thanks, Onami. I am very excited. Feel awesome.
