Not This Time

I’ve decided that for this round, I will not by applying. I have just a little too much going on to focus like I would need to. I’m not quitting the Sistahood though, I support everyone. Everyone has a valid and personal reason for wanting to get healthy, and I know that if we all stick together and hold ourselves accountable, we can reach our goals. I haven’t expressed my support on Twitter because I don’t want to pick favorites. Every single one of the applicants has a special reason for applying. They each deserve a chance to gain control of their lives and change for the better. I wish everyone could be a Mamavation mom.

This past week was crazy. We had our first full week of homeschooling (post to come!). I like to schedule and list things out, so I tried making a schedule that included working out, work, blogging, cleaning house, cooking, etc etc…. and it kind of failed. But I’m glad it did! I know what failed and I can tweak it and work it out.

I got on the scale this morning… looked down… are ya kidding me?! I haven’t gained OR lost anything. Well, I guess maintaining if good. You would think with the emotional eating and the crappy choices lately that I would have gained at least 2 or 3 pounds. I’m glad though… I like having the number just sit there. I’d like for it to go lower and lower, but at least it’s not higher and higher!

This month we are eating from our pantry and freezer, trying to limit out grocery store budget. So far, it’s gone well. We don’t have a lot of tempting snacks, and I don’t really have the budget to buy more, so this is a huge plus. I’m also drinking more water. This is such an easy thing to do, refill your cup with water, but man, I struggle with it. I need an IV for water to get my recommended daily amount!

Here is my GOOD LUCK to everyone applying!

Here is my WAY TO GO to those who have already started their journey and have lost weight and made healthy choices!
