Mamavation Sistahood Follow Along Week 5

This was a good week for me in spite of my husband's deployment to Kuwait on the 29th.  I did really well which was my goal while he was gone.  I know I needed to kick it into gear and with last week's comments from all the wonderful, supportive Sistas, it really did help!


This week was met with healthier eating, less Frankenfoods (as Jillian Michaels terms them) and more exercise.  I removed colas from my diet some time ago and am now working on eliminating Crystal Light.  We also saw a renewed interest in the kids in eating food and I was successful in getting both little girls with eating carrots and corn on the cob.  It's a start!


I am down five pounds this week and it was all by healthy eating and exercising!  I had to make sure I emphasized that as I know BoobieBoo will be reading and watching!  I can't get anything over her but I'm not complaining.


My experiences with the Sistas will pick up as I get situated with his deployment, my job ending in early June thus allowing more time.  I think the premise behind the Sistahood is amazing and so inspiration.  I'm grateful for them and this opportunity!  Thanks to all the Sistas!


This week's goal:


Exercise five days and take the girls on a walk around the neighborhood to help them understand the importance of all us being healthy.


Ensure that we all eat at least one vegetable and a fruit every day.
