Mamavation Monday: Fall #2WeekChallenge

Happy Monday, everyone! I have been dealing with a cold for the last few days, and I am happy to say that the fog has sort of lifted this morning! I am full of crazy amounts of energy. It was so bad this weekend that Aaron ORDERED me to take a nap (now, don’t get all defensive of me — it wasn’t like he bossed me around. It was a strong-love-you-must-sleep moment that I listened to. Glad I did!). The air is crisp, the breeze is sweet, and fall is on its way!

This past week and the rest of this week, I’ve been participating in the #2WeekChallenge with #Mamavation. I love the #2WeekChallenge because it gets me in a great routine. I go for my brisk walk, the Animal and I come in and I do my floor exercises, and then I feel great for the rest of the day. I feel accomplished and happy and energized.

Last week, I told you I was going to focus on positivity in my Monday posts in honor of and support for the new Mamavation Moms (@rachhabs & @madhattermom). So, I will answer the two questions:

What have I done well this week?

1. Even though I could barely breathe, I kept doing my workouts!

2. I took time to focus on my kids instead of running to the computer every five seconds.

3. I didn’t gain any weight (didn’t lose any, either, but you get what I mean!).

What three things am I thankful for this week?

1. I am ever thankful for my family – the four of us here in this house, my parents and siblings, and my in-laws. I am blessed to have such awesome people in my life.

2. My friend, Heather. I just love her. And I love that we sat on the floor in a church gymnasium yesterday for 2 hours and just talked while our girls were doing Brownie stuff together.

3. The ability to breathe again!
