Week Five is in the books and I survived Thanksgiving and an illness. Only two weeks left in this Mamavation campaign. The time has gone so fast; it just doesn’t seem possible that it all will be coming to an “official” close in a short amount of time. However, the lessons that I have learned and the changes in habits that occurred for me in the last month will last forever.
This week was extra tough to stay focused. I missed a few workouts and spent extra time resting. But, the more I rested, the more I wished I were more active. It was a terrible twist. Thanksgiving went okay at my mom’s. I kept to the plan of small portions with a kid-sized plate. I will be curious to see how Monday goes on the scale.
Thank you to our amazing sponsors for staying with us during this journey to personal health and positive state of mind. I can’t go a day without my Earth Footwear. I have become so accustomed to these shoes that I have a hard time wearing anything else. Everyone should try a pair of Earth Footwear to accelerate their calorie burning.
Thank you to EA SPORTS Active for the amazing workouts and support. Your programs are intense, but enjoyable at the same time. And, it keeps the children entertained watching me huff and puff in the living room!
Thank you to Smooth Fitness for the treadmill. Our interval running program on the treadmill is tough. But, the machine truly keeps me entertained the whole time. Plus, it reports my progress as I go and logs my profile. It’s as if it knows it me when I arrive. How cool is that.
Thank you to the amazing Mamavation team and sistahood. Not a day goes by that I am not appreciative of your gifts of time and talent.
As we close out the last few weeks, I challenge everyone to take a snapshot of the next month and focus on getting through the holidays in a healthy, active manner. Together, we will be here to support each other. I am living proof that this program can change lives.


















I am glad you survived Thanksgiving. It was hard for me, but I don't think I overindulged. I hope you are feeling better and you are able to get back into your routine this week. It is hard to believe there are only 2 weeks left in this campaign. You are doing fantastic. We are all so proud of you.
Glad you are starting to feel better! It is a great sign that you missed being active- you are doing so great on this fitness journey!
So glad the medicine is working! This has been an awesome campaign and I'm so glad to have "met" you! Stay strong and let's finish this up together!!
Thanks for the post I actually learned something from it. Very good content on this site Always looking forward to new post.
Good thorough ideas here.I’d like to recommend checking out a lot around the idea of kids. What are your thoughts?
Good thorough ideas here.You may want to actually consider such as something like graphic bomb. What are your thoughts?
Just now you can branch out from your daily understanding. Don’t give up your morals for anything. This will lead to a sad and unfulfilling life.
This sort of thing needs to happen! Simply letting the quota happen isn’t acceptable. This will help you stay above the curve.
Trusting to make the right decisions can be tough. It can take many people a long time to build a strong moral system. It doesn’t really just happen if you know what I mean.
Personally I’m impressed by the quality of this. Sometimes I fav stuff like this on Redit. I don’t think this would be the best to submit though. I will be sure to submit something else though.
I’m curious if you ever have problems with what people post? The internet never used to be like that, recently though it has turned around. Do you agree?
Good thorough ideas here.I’d like to suggest taking a look at such as something like cheeseburger. What exactly are you looking for though?
Wow I’m frustrated. I’m not pointing fingers at you though, I think it is everyone else out there that isn’t taking notice.
Great stuff.I’d like to suggest taking a look at such as something like cheeseburger. What are your thoughts?
Wow I’m frustrated. I’m not calling you out though, really I think its everyone else that is responsible.
Excellent ideas throughout this post, personally I’m gonna have to bookmark this and come back to it. What would you suggest in regards to your post that you made a few days ago?
Great stuff.I’d like to suggest taking a look at things like sausages. What are your thoughts?
I’m wondering if you have noticed how the media has changed? Now it seems that it is discussed thoroughly and more in depth. Frankly it is about time we see a change.
This is tough. I’m not saying you are responsible, really I think its everyone else that is responsible.
Have you ever wondered who posts some of this stuff that you come across? Recently it seems to have become an epidemic, although it seems to be changing for the better. What are your thoughts?
This is a different sort of opinion that many people don’t usually talk about. Usually when I find stuff like this I stumble it. This article probably won’t do well with that crowd. I will be sure to submit something else though.
Is it OK if I use your post on my site?
This makes me somewhat upset. I’m not calling you out though, really I think its everyone else that is responsible.
Have you noticed the news has changed its approach recently? Now it seems that it is discussed thoroughly and more in depth. Frankly it is about time we see a change.
For what its worth, the layout is definitely amazing. You know how to balance writing and images/videos. However, I cant get over how little you actually bring to light here. I think that everyones said the same thing that youve said over and over again. Dont you think its time for something more?
This makes me somewhat upset. I’m not saying you are responsible, really I think its everyone else that is responsible.
Good thorough ideas here.You may want to actually consider a lot around the idea of french fries. What do you think?
This makes me somewhat upset. I’m not saying you are responsible, personally I think that its those that aren’t motivated to change.
Resources such as the one you pointed out here will be very valuable to me personally! I will certainly post a link to this web page on my weblog. Read my visitors will find that quite beneficial.
Couldnt have said it better my self!
Get upset! Really its a must to take a look past everything and get upset. This will help you stay above the curve.
If you really want you can look the other way and not talk about it. The real truth comes with being honest with yourself and your goals. This will lead to a sad and unfulfilling life.
It’s pretty interesting that the mainstream media has changed the way it looks at this recently dont you think? Now it seems that it is discussed thoroughly and more in depth. It’s that time to chagnge our stance on this though.
That’s a very good feedback. Wondering what you think of it’s implication on society as a whole though? Sometimes people get a little upset with global expansion. I’ll be around soon to check out your response.
You need to get upset! Get motivated and get pissed off. This will help you stay above the curve.
Wonderful solutions.You may want to actually consider a lot around the idea of french fries. What are your thoughts?

I am impressed, I must say. Very seldom do I discovered a blog thats both informative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Your post is important; the matter is something that not a lot of people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to it.
