#Mamavation Monday ~ Raising Resilient Kids

Kids, we all knew that it would be the toughest, yet most rewarding job.  But as a parent why is it that we are consistently questioning how we raise our kids?  This week Mamavation has invited Doctor G. (Deborah Gilboa, MD) who helps empower parents to raise respectful, responsible and resilient kids.  I know that I am looking forward to hearing her words of advice because I always wonder, am I making a difference?  Did I punish the right or wrong way?  Are my children going to be strong independent women who love and respect me.  If you have the same questions as I do please be sure to join myself and my mamavation sisters tonight for our T.V. show.   MAMAVATION TV: Join us Monday night at 7pm PST/10pm EST on Mingle Media TV.


This weeks Update:

Like most of you, my week flew by yet again.  With the holidays just around the corner as well as my 32nd birthday creeping up on me faster than I know it I am beginning to feel the stress!  Yet, I am proud to say that I did manage to make it to the gym.  Sadly though (and I deserve it) I gained 3.6 pounds :(  I really can not even be sad about it.  I totally deserved the weight gain.  Why?  well polishing off a few bottles of wine over the weekend on top of having ooey gooey pizza may have something to do with that gain. Oh and I am sure that the two Peppermint Mocha's that I chugged down this weekend didn't help either.   I was just in need of a let loose type of weekend with my husband.  It had been so long since we just stayed up late together & act like we were in our twenties again.  I also need to be honest so that I may actually achieve my goals this time.  I going to share some short term goals with you, but I also have a birthday wish as well....


1) Workout 3 times this week

2) Create or find HEALTHY alternatives to my favorite holiday treats

3) Get out of the 200s by my birthday & bring in the new year closer to my goal & not seeing a 2 as the first number in my weight.  (My birthday is 12/31) 

current weight = 206.6
