JUST NOT THAT EASY

Love me, Love me not - Mamavation Monday 13

Since we are on the middle of choosing finalists for Mamavation Campaign 7, I figured this is a clever title. Don't you think? Maybe be not that clever, but I like it.

Since, I am starting to feel like a politician during the election season, I'd like to say this:
Nah, I am not going to say anything. Vote for who you think is right for the job

We are hear to lose weight, learn to live healthy and support each other. So, let's do just that.

My biggest achievement of the week - I completed 30 day shred. YAY!
Biggest project of the upcoming week - Detox! Since the holidays are finally over, I think it is time to get rid of some unwanted stuff in my body. I love my carbs, so it won't be easy (it is never easy - and I've done this few times). At work I am still temporarily relocated, so the closest restroom is quite far and ... it will not be fun...

If you haven't had a chance to check out my post about Kefir, please find a minute and do so - it could make a great addition to your healthy life syle.

Have I ever been injured start­ing a new exer­cise rou­tine?

I decided to get a health club membership after my first baby and worked out for about a week and a half before I had an actual session with the personal trainer. The trainer made me do an exercise and I told him that my knee made a noise. He ignored it. The knee kept popping and ended up getting dislocating. I went through few days before getting my chiropractor to put it back. However, it became a constant problem, because I got pregnant at about the same time and weight gain just made knee dislocation are regular thing. It got much better after I started loosing weight though
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep track of goals
-2.4 lb since last weigh in I am now 194.2 (initial start 04/01/10 - 209 lb). Have 4.2 lb to go. I could get used to this progress
2. 2-3 gallons of water a day. I empty my jumbo bottle every day (2.2 L is 9 glasses of water) and sometime fill it again half way

3. Stop night snacking.
I am much better now since holiday treats are gone

For this week
I am planning to start my 7 days detox on 01/10. More about my detox here.

  1. I love the politician analogy! So true! So hard right now-- we are all trying to support one another and try to be hopeful for ourselves! Yay for you on the shred!!

  2. Way to go!!

    I'm a late night snacker like you and so glad the holidays are over and those goodies are gone. It is definitely much easier to abstain when they aren't staring you in the face.

    Keep up the awesome work!

  3. Congrats on the Shred! I am on day 3 and I am really sore. Do you think you would do it again?

    I wish you the best tonight! I know we all want it and are hopeful. Either way, I will be seeing you in the EAS active challenge and around the BL Challenge.

    Congrats on the loss! You are really working hard. I also love all the support. Thanks for reminding me about breakfast every morning. Cheers! (notimeMom)

  6. You give me hope that I can finish The Shred. Level 2 is wayy hard, I dont even want to imagine what Level 3 is like!! Ugh!! You are doing great on your water intake, I really need to step it up and drink, drink, drink!! Though I always feel so bloated when I drink alot of water. But I know that its good for my body so I have to keep that in mind. Going to go check out post on Kefir, have heard about it! Good luck this week on detox! Good luck on Mamavation as well! Its been very nerve-wracking
