I survived #Mamavation Mom #Hell Week, there is more to come…

We survived #hellweek OOHRAH, Semper Fi baby!  Woooh just channeled my Daddy and Gunny Lee Ermey.

What have I learned?  I can be sore in all kinds of places.  To manage my time better so I can get my workouts in.  Not to be so hard on myself because I use to be an athlete; that girl is still there just covered in layers.  Just be hard on myself to get the job done and right!

After #mamavation mom interview with @momma_oz  I learned something else this weekend.   I have been thinking I’m eating “right” but am I?  How’s are my portion sizes?  She learned during her time as a #mamavation mom and now a grad to use appropriate portions.  I looked back all those years I thought I was eating right.  It may have been the right kind of food but not the right proportions.

Ok back to #hellweek……… I lost 4.4 pounds yes.  So I am back at the beginning a new starting point… Now let’s see what I can do this week!

Thank you to @mnmspecial for reminding me to get my water in.

Please help me be the next Mamavation Mom.  You can do so by:

Tweeting as often as you have time for: “Hey @bookieboo! I want @mommayoung to be the next #Mamavation Mom. She has my support! http://bit.ly/aorv3Y”

Ok my goals for this week:

• Proper Portions, using myfitnesspal
• 120 ounces of water
• muscle focus on my #2weekchallenge exercises and #mamavation mom applicant exercises

Be on the lookout for 3 giveaways:

Ok, now it is time for this weeks Blogging Carnival.  This week’s blogging carnival is sponsored by The Chia CO and asks the question:  What are your latest healthy food discoveries?

I have been told on various discussions to eat nuts and dried fruits to help with the low sugar shakes I get especially after work outs.  That is when I was introduced to Organic Trail Mix.  It has cranberries, almonds, sun flower seeds, raisins, apples, soy, unsweetened chocolate chips, pumpkin seeds and peanuts. I know those things have fat,  I just have to eat the right portions and I won’t blow all the hard work.
