Where does the week go? It seems ever since moving here, time flies and I find myself every weekend saying I'll do better and be more committed but it's like I'm living the movie Groundhog's Day. It hasn't been for naught as I keep bouncing around with one to two pounds up and down and still maintaining my 16 pound loss. I've been making it a habit to exercise in the pool daily. I read that if you job in waist deep water, you can lose 17 cals per minute so even though five minutes isn't long, I've been doing that coupled with laps and playing tag and Marco Polo with my girls. I've also been incorporating some foods like almonds and walnuts for the nutritional aspect. I still need to get healthier with my eating but I've been on a Mexican food kick ... hmmm...wonder why???
This past week consisted of 20-30 minutes of pool workouts and that's been it! This coming week, I plan to kick it up a notch and actually report a weight loss next week. I'm reading a book titled Think, Act, Love, Lose Weight
by Shane Jeremy James and he takes an approach that many don't which is behavior modification. I know this is something that Pete routinely touches on for us Mamavation Moms. Shane does a good job dissecting it and it sticks in my mind at times which is good. I'm hoping when I've finished it, it will really stick in my mind.This week's Mamavation Blogging Carnival Question is:
How have you recently stepped up to support someone in your life?
(online or IRL)
I started a Facebook group with my family to garner some weight loss motivation. It actually started in January and has dwindled down with little enthusiasm. Combined, the group of us around seven, lost over 70 pounds which is wonderful! I plan to kick it back in ASAP. Mamavation Moms was my inspiration to help my family lose weight so thanks, Mamavation!
This week's carnival is hosted by EatSmart Products. I have a small non-electronic scale which comes in handy but I know a digital scale by EatSmart would be perfect in precision.
This post is sponsored by EatSmart Products and I’m writing this to be entered into a EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale giveaway hosted by Mamavation .
