Mamavation Monday 3/21

Wow I can't believe the new apps are getting accepted starting tomorrow!!! Gosh time flies right??



This week....

The Good:



I got a new rubbermaid water bottle it is 20 oz and have been getting at least 3 in a day!!!

I got some almonds for added protien I got dry roasted and natural and the dry roasted in my opinon are way better.LOL

I got baptized. (not really related to weight loss but...)

The scale shows me 273.4 tonight not bad but not what I would like it to show.

The bad:

I have no motivation to EXERCISE...

But I can not wait to apply for the next mamavation moms campaign.

Mamavation

Well this week was a whirl wind week.

I took my son and daughter to Monster Jam on saturday for my sons fourth birthday, and they didn't have anything that was healthy. I ended up with a jumbo angus hot dog and shared the kids fries and some of their coke.

Kati-Lyn got to meet Candice Jolly of Monster Mutt Dalmation!!!

I am down to 274.8 pounds and I am feeling great!!!!

The Slim-Fast High Protien is working out great for me, I make one of these when I take the kids to school and I am good to go for the day.

The Flowering Cross Book Review

I had the chance to review The Flowering Cross children's book by Beth Ryan.

My 5 year old daughter loved this book, as we are in the weeks leading up to Easter Sunday. My daughter had alot of questions about the resurrection of Christ. My daughter loved that the girl in the book was named Katie which is her name.

This book shows how showing Christ's love can make a difference in the hearts of people today and the role children can play in showing His love.

We loved the faith imprint on each page. It was easy for a 5 year old to understand.

Mamavation Monday.

well this week is no differant than the rest other than I have lost another 3 pounds since last week!!!



I am down to 276.8 down from 339 Dec 14 all I can say is WOW!!!??!!!



I am on my way to over a 100 pound loss at say my 6th month mark!!????



I am taking in one scoop of slim-fast which is 15 grams of protien in 16 ounces of 2% milk.



I need to get in MORE scratch that I need to get in ANY exercise... Oiy I have not been good at the exercise aspect of this weight-loss.
I am doing O.K on the water part not great but O.K.

I hope all you Mommas out there are doing great.

Mamavation Monday AGAIN LOL....

So we are at a Monday again... Not sure that this week was productive or not.


I haven't been eating on a regular scheduale and I have slacked off on my water also, But I have found myself to be drinking caffinee free herbal tea so that's good right??!!??
But as I type this I have a large glass of ice water yay go me!!!

I did buy a can of Slim-Fast High Protien powder and it is yummy!!!! So that is a huge plus for me because I struggle with protien intake as you all know.

I do need to commite to exercising at least 20 minutes a day, any type of exercise walking swimming, treadmill etc etc. But on the up side I am getting approx. 7500 steps a day.

Review "Mom's Bible: God's Wisdom For Mothers"

This Bible is the New Century Version with notes by Bobbie Wolgemuth. While, in two weeks time I have not read this entire Bible (can you believe it?) LOL

When I got this book It was not at all heavy or large and bulky like I would have thought it to be.
The hard cover durability of this Bible is also very nice. Given that it will likely land in the home of many small hands, it is great that it is durable for Mom, but still a great size for silent devotion.


While this would not be my first choice for a study bible, it will definitely be used for daily devotions and topical studies. I highly recommend this Bible for all moms who are seeking to understand God's plan for their lives.

Mamavation Monday

So here we are at another monday...



So this week was more of just a get on track from being sick week, My son is doing better thanks for all the well wishes.

I have finaly gotten over the end of my pneumonia yea good riddance lol.

I haven't been eating all that great. But I am trying.
Water has also been an issue this week I just think because I am getting over being sick.
Like I said this week is nothing jazzy.

Mamavation Monday on Wednesday!!!

So ladies I am sure you are wondering what has happened to me????


Well I have had pneumonia for the last 3.5 weeks and now my son has it. Wonderful right???? Not so much.

I have had great weight loss I am down another 10.2 pounds. For a total loss in 2 months of over 50 pounds.

I am getting in all my water.
But I am having a hard time with beef products, I think that I am going to cut them from my diet for a while.

a new me

I never grew up in a church going family. But last october I went to WWW.cedarcreek.tv for the first time. I enrolled in a exploring christianity class and my grandmother and I went to the three week course and met some wonderful people. We have been every Sunday since then except the few weeks after surgery. We even started going to Lifegroups. My kids love it and I love it. This song was played the first service of this year and it has stuck with me. Just wanted to share that.

Mamavation Monday Week 4

So here we are at another Monday. My weight has not went down I am at 298.8.
This week was a little off both of my kids were sick we were at the Dr 2 days out of the week.

Sucesses:
I got more protein but not enough for me.
I am getting more water. But not enough.
I am not weighing every day.
I am keeping most of my food down finally!!! YAY


Challenges:
Protein (I think it is evil) LOL
I need to get to the gym more. With the kids being sick I did not get to the gym, but did walk around the neighborhood 4 days.


So here are my goals for the next week:

do 30 minutes of activity daily, something…anything

Get 10,000 steps a day

Get in 64oz water daily (PC)

Take vitamin daily

Continue to Journal my food/steps/exercise

30 minute walk each day (PC)

Eat only when hungry using the hunger scale (PC) There are sometimes that I have to force myself to eat.


I really need help getting in protein. I have 2 differant protein drinks the Special K Protein Shakes and Mix 1 fruity protein drinks. I hate the Mix 1. I also have the Jillian Micheals Chocolate protein powder its not great kinda taste like chocolate flavored powder. And then I have an unflavored one and that one is just gummy and disgusting. Any suggestions are welcome, even if it is not a protein drink but a way to get in more protein.
