Mamavation Monday

I'm finding it really hard to get motivated to do all the things I need to do. I don't know why, but I think being so busy is at the heart of it. Whenever I get a moment to myself I tend to just want to sit down and do nothing. I didn't exercise a single day all week. I do walk a lot at times for my job, but I don't count that. I weigh myself every day and I actually saw a loss of two pounds at one point during the week and then today I've gained two pounds. My food choices weren't too bad this week, so I'm pointing to PMS for the weight gain as I usually do retain some water the week before my period. It's just so frustrating but I really don't want to be a complainer. I can't stand people who complain all the time. What I tell them is to do something about it. What am I gonna do this week?

Continue with no soda. I'm at almost two weeks off soda.

Exercise at least 5 days this week.

Take my lunch and snacks to work everyday this week.

Write down everything I put in my mouth.

Try my best to post how I'm doing each day on twitter and go there for support as much as possible.

I'd like to say congratulations to all the new Mamavation Moms. I'm so excited to watch their journeys. They are gonna do great.

I want to take part in the Move It & Lose It Challenge. I'm having horrible PMS today and so it's not a good time to be posting before pictures, but here goes.




I can't find a tape measure anywhere in this house, but will take care of measurements tomorrow and add them. I still can't believe I'm putting this out there.

Great job putting yourself out there April. I know it is hard. Good luck getting the activity you want to get in this week. Do count the walking with your work as exercise (at least in your mind) as well as planning for additional exercise outside of work. Congrats on the soda-free living.

Im not too far off from you. I want to keep track of your progress - I'm gonna subscribe to your blog. I think that walking at your job should count - especially if your walking a distance, and if you walk it fast, it could count, right? I think so. I know when I worked at my last "professional" job I counted all those walks in the building and stairs LOL.

In any case, Good luck. I want to watch your progress :)

Oh, Im Jennifer, a new pledge.

I stay away from the scales - it keeps me sain. When I weighted myself every day, I quit, because I got frustrated
