Week 1 Is In the Books!

Yes ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at the one week point. Well, technically it's like the 10 day point... but that's ok right? Good, glad we agree.

This week should be appropriately named the Week of 5's! I'll get to that in a minute. But first, how did everyone do? The first week is the toughest as it requires a lot of habit changes and eating/daily routine adjustments. BUT, once we all get this thing down, eating and living healthily will become second hat for us all (yes I just used the reference of second hat... you're welcome B).

So anyways, this past week was the week of 5's! 5 because only 5 of y'all reported your numbers back without an invite. 5 because I'm pretty sure 5 is the total amount of points that the eldest Mathewson son scored all week...

Could Mike's Copious Amounts of Salty Snacks
and Prem become this man's downfall?

Oh wait... technically Mike didn't score any points because he hasn't submitted them yet. So until he does, feel free to call him whatever you like. Creative nicknames like Big "O", Mr. Zilch, Senor Zero.. Come up with an even more creative name for Mike, and I'll give you an award next week. Ready go!

Oh it was also a week of 5's because we had four, yes four of our FIT Challengers lose a total of 5 pounds! Woohoo! That's like losing a premature newborn or a smallmouth bass! So kudos to y'all!

If you feel like 5 pounds isn't that much, just think of
 this picture.... 5 pounds, you did it!

 With that, I'd like to recognize our Fantastic 5'ers for Week 1:

Amy "Drop it like it's hot" Mitchell

An "Geez gurl, how'd you lose all 'dat in one week" Bristow

Mama "Don't let your babies grow up to be Cowboys" Deb

Nate "I'm the only male 5er" Mitchell

As a familia, we dropped a total of.... Drumroll please....

24 pounds!!!!!

(technically, we lost 26 pounds, but we also gained 2 pounds during the challenge, so I'm going with our net gain ;) )

That's just over 2 pounds per person! That's like losing nearly 3 1/2 non-premature newborns!

Good on ya' everyone!

 Some other highlights:

My smokin' hot wife, Nicole, has not had any type of candy during the Challenge! This is a huge accomplishment. Pigs are flying and Christmas Miracles are happening!

Yours truly, was able to drop nearly 3% body fat!

Deb officially did not do Cafe Rio night tonight! WOOHOO! Go Deb

Coach continues to search for a Cherry Chocolate replacement.

Finally, as was mentioned at the initial kickoff meeting, I will be handing out weekly awards, including a prize to the Weekly Challenge Champ.

This week's Jenny-O Turkey Snacks Top Point Scorer Award goes to:

NATE & AMY MITCHELL!

Congrats! You can pick up your award at the local Rancho Market. Just ask for Pedro, he'll hook you up... possibly with Peyote??

And now, to determine our weekly winners. There will be a random category each week. Whether that is most inches lost off waist, highest point total, best workout, best visual evidence of workout (whcih we need more of! let's see some visual proof here peeps!).

This week's Weekly Winner will win their very own:

A Tahitian Noni Hydroseal Water Bottle ($79.99 value!)

Since we had so many 5'ers this week, the winner is going to be determined by a random drawing. Click the video link below to see who wins!
