Breaking 36 years of bad habits...

My sister invited me to a Weight Watchers meeting Wednesday night before our workout. She has hit the FIFTEEN POUND mark!! I am so unbelieveably proud of her! It's hard to break habits that have lasted 36 years and she is doing it. She is making her whole famly healthier....it's amazing to see the benefits of a healthy lifestyle unfold for them. My heart is filled with so much joy for her. I could really tell today when I went to to her house for Thanksgiving...she's definately slimmer. I have been waiting so long for her to make a change in her life. About two years ago she started getting into fitness. She bought a used treadmill and an Ab Lounger. She has used the ab lounger on most days, doing 50 sit ups. But 50 sit ups won't get rid of fat. I had bought her an exercise ball and a magazine subscription to Qxygen (the best female fitness magazine in the world). She has renewed the mag subscription twice!! But no other changes happened. I've always wanted to be supportive, but didn't want to push and ultimately PUSH her away from fitness. Weight has been a touchy issue in our family. She had always been the skinny one and I was a bit...well, we'll say "pudgy." The tables turned as we got older and the issue was uncomfortable so we didn't really talk about it. Three weeks ago she called and asked me to workout with her...I WAS SO EXCITED! She seems to be enjoying it and learning alot. And the added exercise has helped her post some pretty consistent weight loss numbers. I am so blessed to be helping my sister on this health journey...I'll keep you posted on her progress!! ;)
