1.  #fruitnveggie challenge. Get 7-8 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

• The short term goal 4 lbs. per month. 
• January - 4 pounds lost = goal met.

Stress Level -
Really high this past week. Too many places to be. I skipped a work out just to stay home and clean my house. I get frustrated not being able to keep up with it all. My iron count was too low to give blood again. We had our family church portrait made for the church directory. Ugh! A picture is worth a thousand words and I still have so much more to go. We lost another teacher at the YMCA and she taught about 4 of the classes that I was taking. We will have replacements but this is the 2nd person gone since I started with Mamavation. My kids are getting sick so I won't get to boot camp today but maybe I can fill it with something else. I will miss Tuesday too because there is a school graduation for my other son. The end of the school year is very much like the beginning of the school year.

The UP side -
I'm still planning to run the 5K in June. I need to get more running in and that will be my goal for this coming week. I need to time my runs in order to know how long I can run. I checked out the couch to 5K program but need the time in order to know where I fall on the chart. I'm not freaked out about the 2 pound gain. Actually I was very frustrated at first and that's putting it mildly but after the measuring results I can see that I maintained most of it. That makes me feel better. We have a new TV so I hope to get back on the Wii and EA programs again.

I'm looking forward to reading how the rest of my "sistas" did this week.
And this is a little GLEE inspiration for all of this week. I'm a sucka for a Flash Mob!

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!
