Sherry

Sherry is working hard at losing weight! And she has! She lost several inches in her arms, waist and thighs. To be perfectly honest, she looks like a different person, totally. I am her Aerobics Instructor, but she motivates me more than I do her! She has had back surgery and still manages to be at every Aerobics class five days a week 8:00 a.m. in and 9:00 a.m. out with me, then she stays for the second class! Amazing, and we ladies are mostly 50 and over, or 29 and holding, holding, holding, ugh! We hold our breaths when we measure, hoping and praying that, that one little, teensy Frosty did not show up. But, alas, it found its way to my hips! So, today, I am going to be like Sherry! I am going to be DETERMINED, steadfast, unwavering, and I am only going to eat what is healthy, what is good, what is nutritious - until Monday! Then, the local newspaper is coming to do a follow-up article to see how many inches we have lost in 6 weeks, so we only have a few more days! I know that we can do it! We are women - hear us roar, hear us whine, hear us moan - but we can do it! I know we can! Do you know why I am so confident? We made each other a promise today, this morning and we're sticking to it. What was that promise? We will write down absolutely, without fail, each and everything we eat from this morning to Monday morning (today is Wednesday) so we have five days to prove we can eat healthy and wise and skinny! for five days. Just don't show me that Frosty!!! I have to hand over THE LIST to 15 other ladies to review on Monday morning, for the NEWSPAPER - the race is on!!!!!
