It’s a Life Change, not a Diet.

As much as I would like to say this past week was awesome. It just wasn’t. It was hard and a few times this past week I broke down crying from exhaustion.

After having a weekend with family, away from the computer, and trying to focus on being happy again...I am finally feeling better.

Please ignore the fact that I made this at 6am, and I am a little tired still.

Did you hear that guys? Overall, I am down 15lbs since applying to be a Mamavation Mom!! More importantly then that, I am feeling like instead of just being on a diet, like I would have before, I am starting to feel like our life is changing for the better.

Down to 223 lbs! Started at 238 lbs.

Our grocery cart is full of produce, instead of boxes and cans of food.

I make it a point to get to the gym daily. After working out, I feel better.

It feels good. All of it. I’m so thankful to have had this opportunity!

Thank You to our sponsors for this campaign:
New BalanceOmron Fitness, and Earth Footwear.
Each one is playing a huge roll in our goal to get active and healthy.

Also a Huge Thank you to all the Coaches:
Leah @BookieBoo, Alysa @InspiredRD, Pete  @PeteCohen_, and Mark @MrBookieboo.

Special THANK YOU to my mentors, who really helped me this past weekend. You ladies mean everything to me!!

    I really admire your tenacity! Your post was really motivating for me – I know that if you can do it with a baby and two little ones, I can do it with one little guy.

    Step class sounds fun. Sorry you had a rough week/weekend. I’ve felt the same way. Being mamavation mom is super duper hard. Its a full time job learning and doing for the rest of your life.
    Shannon is on point with taking a break. You don’t want that burnout to take over.
    Hugs! You are doing awesome!
