It’s week 1, and I have to start off by saying THANK YOU to all the people who voted and made me one of this year’s Mamavation Moms! I am so, so thankful for the chance and really happy to have Lisa alongside me. We can’t wait to see what the next 7 weeks hold. Leah scared me a little bit when she told us we would be working out at an intensity of 8/10, where 10 means you collapse after 15 seconds of exercising. But…I think I’m just gonna roll with it. 
We’re basically in orientation this week, talking to our coaches, getting lots of mail, and working out THE PLAN. Tracey Mallett is finishing up my exercise routine, Pete Cohen and I scheduled a weekly meeting in addition to our Sunday night group meeting, and Dr. Renna fixed up a meal plan for me. I have the Sistahood to remind me to eat small meals throughout the day, including my Mamavation Mentor, Stacie of The Divine Miss Mommy. Leah and Lisa and I talk every day, and of course I have my super duper Fit Friend, Andrea from Mommy Snacks!
So here’s what Dr. Renna planned out for me:
MONDAY
Breakfast – 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal, 1 fruit, 1 cup of milk
Snack – Celery, 1 TB peanut butter
Lunch – Turkey sandwich with 3 slices of meat, 1 fruit

Lunch – 2 whole-grain slices of bread, 1 TB peanut butter, 1 TB jelly, 1 fruit

Snack – 1 cup yogurt
Dinner – 2 small tacos with 3 oz. meat, 2 cups veggies
SUNDAY
Breakfast – Smoothie with 1 cup skim milk, 1 banana, 2 TB peanut butter, 1 tsp flax
Lunch – Eat what I want without going REALLY crazy
Dinner – Meat serving with salad
*Drink water with all meals and in between. Can have hot tea as desired. Can add 1 tsp of honey one time a week.
So there you have it, folks! That’s my official nutrition plan. I have to give Dr. Renna props for taking foods I like and incorporating them into the plan. I think I should be able to follow that pretty closely. Y’all keep me accountable, ok?
Thank you to my wonderful sponsors: Earth Footwear, EA SPORTS Active, Smooth Fitness, and Gaiam. And thank you to my coaching team: Tracy Mallett, Pete Cohen,and Dr. Renna!
When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? ThanHowdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.ks!

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
