#Mamavation Monday

BIG congratulations to me @pamelamkramer for being the Sista of the Week! Insert Happy Dance -->here<--. This week’s blogging carnival is sponsored by SUBWAY. (Look for subwayfreshbuzz.com) SUBWAY is now the newest official sponsor of the Mamavation campaign.

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

Scale Reading -
1 lb. loss. I'm amazed that there is a loss because of the birthday bash = birthday cake and my husband being out of town this past week and our bathroom is still gutted.

Stress Level -
My husband is leaving again this week so I will be on solo kid duty again. *sigh* One of these days I will have an all expenses paid trip for several consecutive days without my husband or kids or dogs. Oh yes, one day. It would be nice for there to be some serious wife and mother appreciation upon my return. I can dream.

The UP side -
I'm starting week 2 of the 8 week MamaGuns challenge! The How to Train a Spartan series is going well with only (BIG, BIG GULP!) 13 days left to train. Did you see our team shirts? You have to let me know what you think!!!!  I was caught on video at the Fallen Heroes 5K so now I have my 2 seconds of fame. lol

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