Mamavation Monday - October 18, 2010

Hi there! So it's been a week since I discovered Mamavation (thanks to my friend Shelley @Momma_Oz). I thought, I'll just hang around, see what these girls are like, maybe in a few weeks I'll pledge. Well here I am, pledging. After one week. It would have been sooner, but I had to wait for the Mamavation Monday post to do it. :)

What happened this week:

• Hoorays:
• Found a new yoga workout that I love!  Did 50 minutes of yoga twice last week.
• Walked the dog, 45-60 minutes 4 days last week.
• Wii Fit strength training routine, 30 minutes 1 time last week.
• Walked for 2 hours in the park with my husband yesterday
• Started to track my exercise, eating and water intake
• Did not go out to eat AT ALL this week (the coffee that I had with Shelley doesn't count, right?)

• Needs some work:
• Definitely need more water.
• I'm going to start looking at my fiber intake. I need more.
• I'm going to start eating breakfast.
• I'm going to start walking the dog EVERY DAY.

• Specific Goals:
• At least 64oz of water every day.
• Walk the dog every day this week, and pick up the pace. Turn our leisurely stroll into a cardio walk.
• Track my daily fiber intake
• Strength training routine twice this week
• Yoga 3 times this week

So what has my first week of Mamavation got to show for itself?

I lost 2.5 pounds last week!!!!!!!

Woohoooooooooooo!  I completely subscribe to the theory that even a small victory in the beginning will help to keep me on track. I'm ready to tackle week 2!

Congratulations to Angela (@ninemoremonths) for being Sista of the Week last week! Totally deserved.

I'm completely stoked for the twitter party tonight. I'm feeling anxious and excited for the finalists, you'd think I was a contestant myself. I think all the girls are amazing, and no matter who ends up winning, it will be well earned. I hope everyone has a great week, and I look forward to getting to know you all better!
