@lisasamples Thursday Thoughts: Mamavation (Week 4)

Have I told you how much I love my @EarthFootwear? I do. You have to get a pair if you are serious about losing and toning – they are simply amazing!

Last week was challenging. I was having a difficult time balancing my life. I was torn between working out, menu planning, husband, kids, dogs, work, blog, The Product Review Place, twitter, Mamavation, BookieBoo, @Pete_Cohen, and everything else. I totally forgot about LISA! The result? I shut down. On Friday of last week I realized what was going on and I kicked my mental butt and go refocused. This week I’ve made the promise to myself to spend a little time for myself and to get more rest.

I am changing my exercise routine a bit this week and doing a bit more TaeBo since I really enjoy it. I’m also going to tackle intervals on the treadmill. My diet seems to be easy enough so I should be good there…but I’ll re-weigh on Monday and if there are no results then I’ll make more changes.

This week is different – I’m pushing myself and doing great!

I’m glad all my sisters are so awesome and are supporting me on this journey. I couldn’t do it without you.

Short, but sweet today…playing catch up from James’ bday!

    It's funny how you are good on the diet and I'm good on the exercising. We can just combine us, and it'll be a cinch! ;-)

    Oh yes! The forgetting about us is the first step to derailing our efforts. This week has been an interesting week for me to start with mamavation. I have not been able to follow an eating plan (soft food, liquids, etc) or exercise plan (no active exercise_ due to health stuff. I am forced to deal with just the day to day of taking care of myself. NOW THAT is a new concept!

    I get the same way. Run, run, run, take care of everyone else but me. Then I shut down. Not a good cycle and I'm working on making changes too.

    I'm looking forward to seeing your progress this week too!
