Mamavation Monday #5

This past week, I’ve been frustrated with my progress. Ok, my LACK of progress. I am finding every last excuse in the book to keep myself from doing what I should do, and I’m annoyed with myself.


It’s frustrating to know, in my mind, what I should be doing. I could coach someone all day long on the best ways to be healthy and work on losing weight or toning their body. I have a pretty decent understanding of the best and healthiest strategies. But, for whatever reason, I can’t get myself to listen.


School is out now, so Aaron and Miss Sassy Pants will be home on a regular basis (he still has a few teacher workdays, so not until mid-week). I’m hoping that I can get into a decent schedule or routine while he’s here to lend his two awesome hands. 


Ok, ok. Here is my weekly report:


What went well:

  • I haven’t had dessert in a few nights. If you know me at all or have read my blog pretty regularly, you know this is a HUGE feat.
  • I did the Zumba on the Wii one day (it was raining out & I couldn’t walk). The Animal was pretty entranced and even danced with me a bit.
  • I walked every day in one way or another. I may not have been at full speed for some of them, but I did move.
What didn’t go well:
  • I had Subway twice this week. Subway itself is fine; it’s the crack cookies they sell that are like sirens and call me to them. I had way too many of those.
  • I keep wanting to add in some core work, but it’s just not getting in the schedule.
  • The scale hasn’t moved. Well, it may have moved UP, but I know it hasn’t moved DOWN.
  • I know I didn’t drink my water.
Goals for this next week:
  • Walk every day
  • Maybe jog two times this week?
  • Add in some core work and some weight training
  • Drink my water
  • Create some easy and maintainable routines for summer that can carry into the fall
