#Mamavation Monday

Weekly Mamavation Goals - 

1.  #fruitnveggie challenge. Get 7-8 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. 
2. Water challenge. Strive to drink more water. Some moms are striving to drink half their body weight in water. For instance if you weigh 180, strive to drink 90 ounces of water per day.

My Goals -

• The long term goal 50lbs. by the end of the year.
• The short term goal 4 lbs. per month. 
• January - 4 pounds lost = goal met.
• February - 5 pounds lost = goal met.
• March - +1 gain = goal NOT met.

My Work Outs -


Monday - 1 hour boot camp, 1/2 hour walk
Tuesday -1 hour circuit training. 50 minute walk.
Wednesday - 1 hour boot camp, 1 hour walk.
Thursday - 1 hour circuit, 1/2 hour jog.
Friday - 1 hour boot camp - My husband came to the class with me. Now he knows why I look so drained when I get home.
Saturday - I went to donate blood today. I was denied because my iron count was too low!
Sunday - No work outs

Measurements -
Chest -.5"
Waist +1"
Hips  = same
Legs -5."
Arms = same

Scale Reading -
2 pound gain, Why? I did well staying mostly out of the Easter candy. Ok, so I had a piece of chocolate yesterday but that isn't going to add 2 pounds in one day! or is it? Could it be the chocolate mousse piece of cake for dessert on Saturday? Oh come on! My husband and I split that piece. I'm really disappointed and frustrated.

Stress Level -
I had a pretty uneventful week, however the weekend was very stressful. Now all major holidays are starting to stress me out. I liked weighing on Tuesdays because at least I got a work out in on Monday. Maybe I need to work out on the weekends? Seriously, that's a joke! I have do idea where I would fit it in. Maybe if I got up at 5am? That's not going to happen. I'm not a morning person.


The UP side -
I'm looking into some of those sport watches that keep track of everything! I want the calorie counter, heart rate, stop watch, pedometer all in one. I'm still shopping. I jogged for a mile and a half and that is huge progress! I've decided to run the 5K in July. I think I can do it. I have time to train for it so why not!

I'm looking forward to reading how the rest of my "sistas" did this week.

I'm always hunting workout music which you will find in my DJ Booth at Blip.fm. You can search the #mamavation hashtag or #workouttunes to see my lists. If you have any music suggestions leave them in the comment section!
