#Mamavation Monday~ great loss thanks to what I am learning with LeanGreenYOU

>

I posted Thursday about what I am learning with LeanGreenYOU...and that I was completely shocked at the scale this Thursday.  I had lost 4.9 pounds!!!  I am not starving myself and am not doing crazy exercising either.  I am eating smarter and trying to exercise moderately.  I know I will need to increase the exercises as the times go on....and my eating will probably just get better and better as I learn how to cook some of the foods I have never tried before.  This week my goal is to experiment with recipes and find healthy easy recipes that I know I will eat often.  I also really want to get working on only eating meat 3 times a week.  This past week I aimed for that but did a little bit more...not bad though as the other two times were very small portions.  One thing I do need is a food scale so that I can weigh my meat portions as I am not that great at knowing how much I should eat.  Maybe I can win one today from EatSmart Products.  They are sponsoring todays blogging Carnival.

This week my exercising was not all there.  I did a lot of family outings this past week.  I went to a concert, and we did Day out at Thomas, a friends summer party and a day out at the park.  A couple of these I did some walking around, but only actually exercised three days.  So this week my goal will be to get in 6 days of exercise.  I am still trying to do the Wii hula hoop every day...but am trying to add some more sweat inducing and strength training workouts in.  I got a good sweat going by using both my Gold's Gym Wii games and the Wii Active more workouts games.  So I think I will aim to do each of these at least once this week.  The morning walks haven't been going so well.  It was crappy here up until a few days ago...then Lauren cut some teeth and has been up about 3 times a night....This has made me quite tired and not feeling like I have enough energy at 5 am to go for a walk. 

This weeks blogging carnival question:
How have you recently stepped up to support someone in your life?

I am trying to be healthier which in turn hopefully I am helping my family members too.  I am hoping they see me cutting back on junk and eating more healthy stuff...and then they do the same.  I have my step daughters here and hopefully am supporting them as they are getting older and hopefully giving them some good advice. 

 This post is sponsored by EatSmart Products and I’m writing this to be entered into a EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale giveaway hosted by Mamavation .  I am also participating in the LeanGreenYOU bootcamp which was provided to me for free from Jennifer McCay (LeanGreenMama).  These are my personal opinions.
