Imperfect: you don't need to do it alone (Prayfit week 1)

If you didn't already know this about me, I am a Type-A personality.  I'm a little bit of a perfectionist and like to do things right, and right the first time.  I am also a multi-tasker.  That being said, I was far from perfect this week.  I was actually pretty stressed this week because of other things going on in my life.  I was trying to be all, do all for everyone and it just wasn't happening. I do things with all my heart and sometimes it gets the best of me. So, at the end of Prayfit Week One, I have to say that it's doable, but you don't need to do it alone.

For example, as a teacher, one of the best things that happened to me was getting to work with another teacher with a totally different personality than mine.  She was much more laid back and balanced my need-to-get-everything-done-yesterday mentality.  It was a perfect balance.

This week, my balance has been in my husband.  He is currently on the Prayfit diet with me, as well as an overall desire to live a healthier lifestyle.  We even started going to Kickboxing class together!  If you are desiring or in the middle of a healthy lifestyle change yourself, I encourage you to find someone to motivate and encourage you.  You can do it alone, but you don't need to.

Here's a breakdown of the week:

Pros and Cons:

I've been measuring and weighing.  So far, inch-wise is about the same, but I've lost 6 pounds!! That's my pro- for this week!

If you're thinking about Prayfit, one con is the cost.  Having bought my food for week two, I have to say that my family of four is spending about $50-$100 more than we normally do for groceries.  So, that's something to weigh in, if you're considering it.  However, my weight loss is comparable to a time when I purchased expensive health-care products to help in weight loss--so if you're comparing, it may be worth it!

Workout Schedules:

I workout about 4 days per week (one hour each of the four days): 3 hours of REFIT® and 1 hour of Kickboxing.

Food Intake:

We've been following the Prayfit Menu.  Some of it has been very tasty. There was only one dish that I couldn't eat: a tuna and olive wrap with greek yogurt.  The breakfast fruit salad pictured below was both my husband and my favorite!
