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
Snack – 1 cup yogurt
Dinner – Grilled fish, big salad with 1-2 TB low-fat dressing, 1 grain serving
TUESDAY
Breakfast – Egg white omelette, 1 cup of veggies, 1 English muffin, 1 cup of milk
Snack – 1 fruit
Lunch – Large salad with veggies, 1-2 TB low-fat cheese
Snack – 1 serving of fruit or nuts
Dinner – Meatloaf, 2 cups of veggies, 1-1/2 cups pasta or 1 cup rice
WEDNESDAY
Breakfast – French toast, cinnamon, 1 cup fruit, 1 cup milk
Snack – 4 cups of air popcorn
Lunch – 2 whole-grain slices of bread, 1 TB peanut butter, 1 TB jelly, 1 fruit
Snack – 1 cup yogurt
Dinner – Chicken, 2 cups veggies
THURSDAY
Breakfast – 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal, 1 fruit, 1 cup of milk
Snack – Celery, 1 TB peanut butter

SATURDAY
Breakfast – French toast, cinnamon, 1 cup fruit, 1 cup milk
Snack – 4 cups of air popcorn
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!
I am so excited for you! I can't wait till the whole 7 weeks are over and see how you and Lisa have progressed. LOL good luck in the bootcamp girl
You will do great!

Lots of luck…I am sure Leah wont kill ya lol! Cant wait to follow along with you and see all your success!
I'm very excited that you have your meal plan. The food you eat determines 85% of your weight loss. So getting this all squared away is VERY important. XXOO
Congrats on joining the mamavation team, and great first post!
WOW – your meal plan looks great! Totally doable. I wonder how many Weight Watchers points that is – for me!
Good luck girl – can't wait to see the results.
You go girl! I love celery and peanut butter…another thing I love on celery is cream cheese with a little Mrs Dash.
You can do it honey–keep envisioning what you want to achieve
doable meal plan…..i was wondering the same thing, how many weight watchers points that would be a day for me?
i like (and i am sure you do,) that sunday is a little bit of a "day off" without going crazy of course.
it is amazing to see how little food our bodies actually need to survive and be healthy.
you can do it , i know you can…we picked you for a reason!!
xoxo

I tried to post a comment previously, yet it hasn’t shown up. I assume your spam filter may be broken?
I’ve been searching on the web trying to find some ideas on how to get our weblog coded, your current layout together with design are perfect. Did you code it your self or did you recruit a programmer to do it to suit your needs?
I know that idea is effortless and easy to implement.
My brother and I had been just discussing your very topic, he’s invariably looking to prove me completely wrong. Your current view on this is fantastic and exactly how I feel. I just e-mailed my brother this page to demonstrate him your own perspective. Immediately after looking over your blog I bookmarked and will be returning to read your updates!
Never upgrade your congratulate without sharing a dog

I’ve been searching on the web hoping to get some ideas on the way to get my web site coded, your general layout and theme are great. Did you actually code it yourself or did you recruit a programmer to do it for you personally?

Salute, You just have to visit this helpful page UK bank accounts for all, see You

Great post. I am just starting my blog as well. Do you find it hard to have something to say, because I don’t feel like natural writer and it seems to come natural for you.
This is a smart blog. I mean it. You have so much knowledge about this issue, and so much passion. You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses. Youve got a design here thats not too flashy, but makes a statement as big as what youre saying. Great job, indeed.
Do you think blogging just has to be about writing? Reason I ask is I want to start a photography blog, but I feel I am better at expressing myself with photos rather than write. Should I even start it? With your experience could it work, more pictures, less words?
The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
I’m interested in using some of your material for my blog. Please let me know if I can do so if I link back to this page.
There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in the Feature also.
Though carrying out a search for the phrases which can be on this webpage I stumbled on this page. I just say I value the superb information and facts.
The solution is to gradually become free of societal rewards and learn how to substitute for them rewards that are under one’s own powers. This is not to say that we should abandon every goal endorsed by society; rather, it means that, in addition to or instead of the goals others use to bribe us with, we develop a set of our own.
Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.
My buddy and I have been just talking about this particular article, she actually is always endeavouring to prove me incorrect! I am about to present her this post and rub it in a little!
Most people, when they criticize, whether they like it or hate it, they’re talking about product. That’s not art, that’s the result of art. Art, to whatever degree we can get a handle on (I’m not sure that we really can) is a process. It begins in the heart and the mind with the eyes and hands.
Pay no attention to what the critics say… Remember, a statue has never been set up in honor of a critic!
There are only two ways of telling the complete truth–anonymously and posthumously.
Awesome post . Thank you for, posting on this blog dude. I shall email you again! I didn’t realise that.
I have found this particular article to be extremely beneficial. Thank you for submitting it.
Umm,OK. But my point is that I don’t understand what it is about the last sentence you don’t understand? Please explain. What do you mean by “average”?
I happened to stumble across this website searching for something different, glad I stumbled into it though. Very interesting.
Keep the posting up. I never thought I would find an individual that had close to the same grasp of worldly knowldege , however, you are that beacon of hope in humanity!I hope you continue to bring your knowldge and enlightenment to the world and never let your expression be squelched! Live strong!
