I have a tendency to be a little impatient - just ask my husband or my kids. When I get an idea in my head, I am on it and on EVERYONE else is supposed to be on it too!! And I want it done NOW. So when it comes to the long haul with weight loss, I have a tendency to get discouraged.., You work your booty off (literally) and it takes soo long to show. And it's not that I don't know it won't show - I have gotten the weight off before - its just the constant battle. And when I have a bump in the road, it's REALLY hard to get back back on track again. We had my husband's family in town and some how we ate out almost EVERY meal, I decided to 'cheat' and since then I've managed to NOT get back on track.., and gained weight back in the process. =/
So instead of continuing my downward spiral, I've decided to give MYSELF a challenge. Since it takes 12 weeks (see picture to the left), I've decided to put myself on a 12 week challenge. And with each Mamavation Monday post, I will be posting a picture of my scale. This helps YOU keep me on track, and motivation for me! (I'm a bit competitive so there's NO way I'm going to let that scale creep up on me!)
I'm actually up about 9 lbs since I first applied to be a Mamavation Mom in Feb. BUT I am STILL down 16 lbs since I decided to make a change on Jan.1oth of this year. ., though it's been a bit of a yo-yo, I believe I am still getting into my GROOVE and I know that I will be successful.
Here's my scale for today: I really don't like the number, but it's better then 255 which is where I started this year!
I have a few challenges for myself this week, and if anyone wants to join just tweet at me here and we can help keep each other accountable!!

An entirely unique cleanser for those who put their skin through the wringer with all the sweat, heat, bacteria and dirt you encounter with a fitness lifestyle. Dermatologists agree, after a workout, you will want to go beyond the surface and get deeper down in the pores to remove bacteria, sweat, salt and oil and returns skin to proper PH to prevent acne, dullness and dryness.
Wait gain can be tough on the motivation. Just use this as a learning experience. You are still pushing forward and that should be applauded. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteOh I love those workout plans! You can definitely get yourself back on track! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI would love to join you in your 12 Week Challenge. I think it would be great to have someone to be accountable to! I lost 60 pounds last year and over the last 8 months I have gained 20 of it back :( So disappointed in myself. Like you, I have decided to brush myself off and get back on the train. We can do this! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the weight you have lost in total. Yes, cheating & eating out tends to be a slippery slope and I have definitely been there! It always amazes me how much damage my nutrition can do on all my hard work and exercise. Overall you are making changes and staying focused on you goal. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteLove the commercial exercises! Very good idea. Have a great week.
Taking scale pics is a great idea! I may need to do that too! Sounds like overall you are still doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteThat TV commercial workout thing looks neat! I'm the same way about doing things now and I'm not good at the long haul either... You can do this! I hope you have an awesome week!
ReplyDeleteI love the TV workout! You've come so far & I've really enjoyed getting to know you better. You are amazing. I also struggle with bumps and I go stagnant. I hope this week had gone well :)
