#Mamavation Monday

BIG congratulations to Steph Hamm @fitmomtraining for being the Sista of the Week! This week’s blogging carnival is sponsored by Chefs Requested.

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 - 2 pounds lost = goal NOT met.
• May - 3 pounds lost = goal NOT met.
• June - 0 gain/loss = goal NOT met.
• July  - +1 gain = goal NOT met.
• August - 2 pounds lost = goal NOT met.
• September

Here are my guns for the #mamaguns challenge.

This was taken right after the 5K. My little guy got in on the action too! He's so supportive.

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


Scale Reading -
1 lb. loss. I'm wondering...Do you think taking anti-suppressants is cheating? What about these energy drinks? I don't think I have ever seen Mamavation promote either. I'm pretty sure we are suppose to stick to a healthy diet, water and exercise. It's the old school way! 

Stress Level -
Still dealing with the bathroom remodel. The kids final birthday bash is Saturday and many folks that initially said they would come are no longer coming. lol - No, no stress at all.

The UP side -
I'm starting week 1 of the 8 week MamaGuns challenge! The How to Train a Spartan series is going well with only (BIG GULP!) 19 days left to train. I'm starting to feel the fear a bit. I participated in the Fallen Heroes 5K on Saturday.

Overall #144 person to cross, I was #155, finishing 00:37:43.85

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!
