#Mamvation Monday: Feeling Strong

How was my week?

my week was great and a crazy weekend! This week will be a bit more challenging as I will not be home much. Between appointments and other commitments I need to be on top of dinners being done and grab and go meals for me and my children as I am trying to set the example for them as well. Getting exercise in will also be a challenge because of time constraints…but that is ok we will manage it somehow. I feel as if I am physically standing taller and and sitting more straight as well. Core muscles being strengthened? Probably…a great feeling!

What will I do this week?

I will continue with what I started.

  1. Meal plan
  2. Make attainable goals each week (adding to previous weeks when become part of my routine)
  3. Attend my weekly Weight Watcher meeting
  4. Attend the Momavation “TV” show each Monday night

Meal Plan for week:

Breakfasts: “cheesecake” yogurt topped with granola or creamy grits topped with cheese or scrambled eggs with peppers and onions

Lunches: Leftovers from dinner or veggie soup or beans and brown rice

Snacks: fruit, yogurt or air popped popcorn

Dinners…

            Taco Soup

Tuesday ~

            Chicken A La King, green beans

Wednesday ~

             Chili with cornbread

Thursday ~

Friday ~ 

              Pizza Night (polenta crusted for me)

Saturday ~

Weekly Goals:

  • Have a burn deficit of minimum 1500 calories daily
  • Have 7000 steps daily working up from here
  • Make sure to take my vitamin daily
  • Do at least 30 minutes activity…mix it up to stay motivated and not allow myself to get bored

  • Make sure I stretch first thing when I wake for 10 minutes to get the blood flowing and body limber
  • Drink 56 oz water daily
  • Make a meal plan for next week including snack options

Great Post. I just found your blog. I've been trying to lose weight since July and I'm 12 pounds away from being down 100! I have my own blog too at http://www.nomorebacon.com I love how you set weekly goals and then you're actually accountable for whether or not you're doing them. A good friend of mine developed an awesome goal tracker called One Simple Goal that I think you really might like. http://www.onesimplegoal.com I've just added your blog to the reader :)Thanks for a great site!
