So my goal this week is to really follow the new Mamavation Moms ...that will be announced tonight at the Mamavation Twitter party. I think if I follow along with them more this campaign it will help get me motivated and more committed to losing again. I am sick of how I look and feel.
So this week I planned out our meals...they might not be super healthy all the time...but it is planning which will help keep me from grabbing fast food or eating junk food waiting to figure out what to make. These are my baby steps....start planning, start eliminating, start adding. Gotta add the good stuff and eliminate the bad stuff...a little at a time. I think if I can add healthier meal options a day at a time I can get the whole family eating better.
So I actually got to sleep last night...and feel good this morning. Started the morning off with some old fashioned oatmeal with cinnamon and cranberries....now I need to get some exercise in soon and will be feeling good all day long!
Good luck to the Mamavation Mom finalists! I was once one of these...and didnt make the cut...but life goes on. You can all keep up with the sistas and get lots of support to help you lose and get healthy!
Love how you are starting over Colleen! Way to go - and love that you are taking this with small steps. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited you are ready to jump in & work your buns off with us all :) Its not easy to want to workout, but it son becomes that moment you look forward to. I'm right there with the teething & lack of sleep. I'll try to keep checking in with you. I'm excited you've planned out meals. That's always hard for me, but the scale loves that :)
ReplyDeleteSorry that the baby is sick. Good job on making the menus- I need to work on that.
ReplyDeleteYou have the right idea add a little, subtract a little, and take one day at a time. Thank you for your support through the application process. I am not going away no matter what the results of tonight's party are. Maybe you can join me to make a run for 12??
ReplyDeleteOh I remember the teething. Sure makes for a rough week most definitely. You are right when you say you have to start somewhere! I have to be more diligent on planning out meals as well! IT's all too easy to not plan and just grab something out of "convenience" but our diet sure suffers with that! Keep it up..it's all baby steps~!!

Yay for meal planning! I find that planning and sticking to a weekly menu is SO helpful in keeping us in line and eating healthier than we would if we were just winging it.
ReplyDeleteteething STINKS. I feel for you, mama. GEt some rest when you can, pat yourself on the back for planning your meals, and take it one step at a time.
