It’s the beginning of week 3 of the Mamavation Mom campaign 12.
I’m a little scared. Somebody hold me!
All I have heard about it “Weeks 2 & 3 stink, and don’t worry, you’ll get through it”.
The reason why that scared me is that the past week has been pretty terrific,so what happens next week?
In fact, I HAVE LOST 12.2 POUNDS SINCE APPLYING TO BE A MAMAVATION MOM!
I haven’t seen this side of 240′s for over a year. Maybe two. SO HOORAY FOR ME!
The video was shot on Mother’s Day which was an example of how our lives have changed. Instead of lazing around and eating– we were out walking and hiking!
I DID have one total freak out day in which my personal life was just holding me back. I was overwhelmed and frustrated and instead of turning to food or something unhealthy, I sent a shout out to all my mentors- Lolo, Laura,and Andrea- and Bless them, they walked me off the ledge. This kind of support is KEY to the Mamavation campaign. And I get so much support from all the Sistas. That is why I LOVE Mamavation- there is always someone here to lend an ear, give a kind word or a kick in the butt when needed.
I had a chance to got to Fitness Magazine’s FitBlogNYC- an awesome event where I got to meet a few sista’s! I got to spend some time with Ghada, Sherry, and Shelly.
I am totally cross-eyed with lack of sleep, but thrilled to meet them all!
Shelley took another shot of her trying to wake me up at the “butt crack of dawn” but it’s not really appropriate for this post. Let’s just say I’m not a super early morning person, and Shelley is WAY chipper in the mornings. WAY chipper. ugh.
AND- guess what I got this week from New Balance?
Aren’t they PURTY? Even better, they are SO comfortable and I immediately went for a nice 6 mile walk. Let me tell you that are so comfortable and they fit perfectly. I’ve been experimenting with shoes lately, and I do have to say, honestly, that these are the most comfortable ones I’ve worn. I am so happy and thankful that New Balance sent them to me!
I also received some awesome stuff from Omron Fitness,but it’s so cool I an gonna tell you ALL about it next week when I have more time to play with it!
I’m so thankful to all our wonderful sponsors: New Balance, Omron Fitness, InsiredRD, Weight Loss Guru, Earth Shoes and of course, my Mamavation community Plus my awesome Mentors Lolo, Laura, and Andrea, not to mention my partner in crime,and Mamavation Mom cohort, Hanan.

Great job Wendy!!! Keep up the great work
I know it was my decision to study, but I actually imagined you’d have something exciting to say. All I notice is a lot of moaning about something that you could fix if you weren’t too fast paced looking for awareness.Manali Packages
