Hey ladies (and gentleman), Hanan here in week six of Mamavation Mom Campaign #12.

If you have been following along with Wendy and I, you know that we have been working our butt off at eating better, excerising daily, losing weight, and getting fit.

Happy to report to you that since applying for this campaign, I am down 16.4 lbs!! Even better then the number dropping each week, my clothes are feeling looser on me, and I feel so much better about my self each week.

It’s 6:30am, right now…so bare with me on my video

Can you believe we’re half way done with Mamavation Campaign #12? It’s actually gone by pretty quickly.

Half way done, and I can very happily say that I have now lost 14.4 lbs since I applied!! Very happy to see the scale go down this week.

Omron Body Composition Monitor

We were supposed to share our measurements with you as well. When I did them on Monday, it didn’t seem like I lost any. So either I measured wrong the first time or I haven’t lost any inches. However, the tight jeans I bought a month ago say differently

Here’s my vlog for this week. I had actually started one last night, but it was SO depressing I deleted it. This one is not much better, and mostly because I have been fighting a cold since Sunday. My body is saying No more, but I’m not going to listen.

I mentioned I got my Earthies Shoes. LOVE them! They are the Raphaelle boots. I just love how Earth Foot Wear promotes beautiful and sexy shoes, but most with wedges, which are still super comfortable.

It is Week three of Mamavation, and I’m trying hard to keep up with everything. Being a Mamamvation Mom is not easy. We have to get in 10,000 steps a day, 100 oz water, circuits, and stick to our nutrition plan.

With everything else going on around me, it’s been a little hard trying to get everything done daily. I’m trying though, and that is a lot more then I could have said, before Mamavation.

This past week, the scale did not cooperate as well as I would have liked. But dammit, overall I have lost over 9lbs since applying to be a Mamavation Mom, woohoo!

Even more exciting then that, is FEELING better. More energy, which means more spending time together as a family.

Here’s a little more of what I had to say about this week…

Hello everyone! Hanan here, for week 2 of being a Mamavation Mom. You can check out my week 1 post here.

So much happened this past week.

After traveling, coming home, and finally getting back into the swing of things, I’m feeling much better now.

I can hardly believe it myself, but I lost even more pounds this past week. Putting me at a 11.6 lb weight loss since I applied to be a Mamavation Mom. That jump, right at the beginning was really a perfect way to start this campaign.

Over the past week, I have been working my butt off with the daily circuits. Which I’m not going to lie, is tough.

Alysa, from Inspired Results, sent me my nutrition plan which fits perfect with the foods I like, keeping my calories up for nursing, and over all just being really easy to use this week. Don’t worry, I will tell you more about those meal plans in the following weeks, as I get better with them and get my exchange book.

A few times this past week I have forgotten to eat my afternoon snack. Being a mom to three, I do often forget to stop and eat. Also, I have it embedded in my head to drink more water. I know I need extra water, with the exercising and nursing. Of course, I am struggling to remember that too.

If you haven’t joined the Mamavation Forums yet, you should. Everyone is so helpful. If you have a question, there is always someone to help or suggest. It’s been really helpful to log my food and exercise, get that support and advice from others.

A BIG HUG to my Mamavation Mentors Lolo, Andrea, and Lauren who all have been just plain awesome at helping us. They email, text, tweet me everyday and I couldn’t have asked for better mentors. Also, I would really like to thank Megan and Shannon for all our talks and your help this week. The whole sistahood is just awesome!

I have noticed that my oldest is asking questions like “Are we going to the gym today?” and the girls just love to exercise with me. It’s just a great feeling knowing I’m having an impact on them already.
