Week 5 (Day 31-38) : Learning how to make healthy food choices and create new habits while on vacation at Disney World. This week was our first weight management test. Up until this point, minus the initial 7 day detox we have found it fairly easy to follow the weight management plan. Each day […]

Day #27- #29 Over the weekend we have been busy getting ready for our trip to Disney, working out at the gym and preparing for our 30 day progress update. We are surprised by our physical changes even though we haven’t seen any changes on the scale for 2 weeks. Tomorrow we will post our […]
Day #26 Valentine’s Day. The first 100 days: A journey to health and wellness
Day #26 Happy Valentine’s Day! Sean: Every holiday I make Kristen a holiday themed breakfast. I had to search a bit to find a healthy Valentine’s Day breakfast recipe. (A lot of recipes claim to be healthy.) This morning I made Kristen Ezekiel bread French toast topped with berries and mini egg and veggie muffins […]
Day #24- #25 Healthy comfort food. The first 100 days: A journey to health and wellness
Day #24 – #25 It isn’t easy sticking to the weight management plan on a Snow Day. We both really wanted to eat comfort food and snuggle under a blanket all day. We made Ground Turkey and Sweet Potato Chili, a healthy alternative to typical comfort food. We forced ourselves to exercise too, besides the snow shoveling we also […]
Day #23 Portion Control. The first 100 days: A journey to health and wellness.
Day #23 Portion control is not something we have discussed in the past but it has been a big part of our success. Dr. Sferra gave us portion control advice when we began this journey. He told us to follow the hand chart (shown above) because it is a good reference to have when making […]

Day #22 Progress update and week 4 plans and goals. Week 3 weight management progress update: Neither of us lost weight during week 3. Although we didn’t see any changes on the scale, we feel great.

Day #21- Free Day. The first 100 days: A journey to health and wellness
Day #21 Today was our free day and it was a bit disappointing. Our cheat foods: Chicken Parm Pizza, chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches, multi-grain chips and homemade guacamole. The food tasted good but we agree that we don’t get as much joy from eating those foods as we did in the past. We […]
Day #19 and Day #20 The first 100 days: A journey to health and wellness
Day #19 and #20 Sean: “It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.” I have repeated that quote in my head about 100 times this week. Most of the week I felt hungry, despite eating hearty portions of food and drinking 4-5 glasses of water per day. Then to make it worse, at work there were […]
