Good week!

We're nearing the end of another tough week, and it's ending positively. I worked out with trainer Dorothy for the first time. She had an excellent obliques exercise. It was so hard, but like they say, that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger :) Cherish and I will train with her again tomorrow morning. I really tried to ramp up cardio this week with some interval run/walks on the treadmill as well as some high incline walking. I'm happy to report that I am starting to see the changes, especially in my face and upper body.
Lisa set us both up on this online food analysis program. We enter every meal and snack into the program and it calculates every micro and macronutrient and grades you on everything. It's a very cool tool that I'm sure will help us out alot.
The teeth whitening is starting to take effect, and people are noticing a whiter, brighter smile! It makes it worthwhile, as the whitening gel isn't the most pleasant tasting stuff.
My son Will has begun to assume Mommy's going to the gym when Dad gets home. "You going to the gym to get healthy now, Mommy?" he asks me as Bill walks in the door. I'm thankful that I'm able to get away to do this, and happy that my children are able to witness their mom taking care of herself. I know I'm a better mom when I'm taking good care of myself.
Bill is coming on board too, sharing higher protein meals with me and trying to eat healthier. We're actually watching a little TV and eating carrot sticks together, when normally we'd snack on something like crackers or ice cream. I appreciate his support through this process.
