Mamavation Monday – Only 10 Weeks Left!?!?
It’s Monday, so you know what that means: Mamavation Monday. For any new readers, Mamavation is an online community of (mostly) moms who are focused on setting healthy examples for our families and fighting obesity. I pledged to be part of the Mamavation Sistahood, and each Monday, I post my progress in my quest for healthy living. Not every week is perfect, and that’s ok!
The biggest thing for me this past week was realizing that we only have 10 weeks left until Flash’s due date! Woah. Time is surely flying by very quickly, and although I’m really ready to meet him, there are so many things I still need to get done. Many are work-related and include deadlines I’d like to meet before I’m extra busy with a brand new baby.
I have an admission, though. I’m seriously struggling with my need for sweets. It doesn’t help that Valentine’s Day came, and I thought I needed to bake my family some cupcakes. LUCKILY, I had enough sense to send the majority of them to school with Aaron. But UNLUCKILY, we also received our Girl Scout cookies. Holy sweet tooth, Batman, I can’t stop eating this stuff.
I’m pretty certain it’s my body just craving energy. After finding out that I was anemic, I did start taking my iron. I am feeling much better. But that doesn’t curb my need/want/desire/passion for anything chocolate-related.
Fruits have helped some, and I’m really trying to drink my water. What other suggestions do you have for me?
Have a great week!
