#Mamavation Monday

This week's blogging carnival is sponsored by Katy Bowman and her Aligned and Well series.
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.
• April - 0 gain/loss = goal NOT met.
• May -2 pounds lost = goal NOT met.
• June 0 gain/loss = goal NOT met.
• July

Measurements -
I did not measure this morning.

Scale Reading -
No loss, no gain.

Stress Level -

By Thursday and Friday I was just tweeting for prayers. One thing after another was happening and I was not reacting very well to any of it. My hubs is back home so our home is balanced again. I'm hoping for a more relaxing week.

The UP side -
That scale is just not my friend. I'm starting to dread every single Monday! But....I now can visibly see changes in my body. My clothes fit differently only not in the places that I want but I see smaller legs and I see a smaller waist. Back to the food journal I go! I've not been logging it for over a month. I need to get back on track and go from there.

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