#MamavationMonday~Here's to Finally Seeing Results

Up until today I have never heard of Roni Noone but thanks to today's subject on Mamavation I was able to see how wonderful & insightful Roni is.  Like Roni I like to come up with lite recipes, but its hard to do with the picky eaters that I have in my home.  I was so excited when told that she has two picky eaters (and a picky husband) like I do, that I couldn't click over to her web site fast enough Greenbites Roni has come up with so many fun & exciting recipes that I can not wait to try.  The first on my list is her Mexican Pizza!  It looks just as yummy as it sounds & I think it will please all the picky eaters in my home.  My husband loves all things Mexican & both my daughters love pizza & the fact that its thin crust it definitely has my interest.

I really truly hope that I make it home in time to tune into the Mamavation T.V show today.  I am sure that Roni has a few tricks up her sleeve as to how she was able to lose the 70#s and change her families food lifestyle.

ON TO HOW MY PAST WEEK WENT....

If you follow the Mamavation on Facebook  than you will recall that last Tuesday I was involved in a vehicle accident.  As a result my vehicle was totaled & my back was strained/sprain.  My children didn't get hurt and as all moms know that was the most important factor.  

Needless to say I couldn't workout or get any exercise at all for the rest of the week.  Or so I thought.... I reached out to my fellow Mamavation Sistas (you can find out more information about the sistahood here) who all gave me the pick up that I needed with positive words of encouragement and prayers for quick healing.  However I would like to personally thank Kia Ru.  Kia was kind enough to email me some instructions on a few different Yoga stretches that I could try to help stretch out my back.  I can not thank Kia enough for taking time out of her day to help me out.  (You can follow Kia at Bodhi Bear ; or via face book at Bodhi-Bear) This is just one of the many reasons why I LOVE this group of ladies.  Even though we have never met in person we are all always there to help each other out & lift each other up virtually. 

I also had received guidance from my other friends that I have made with AdvoCare.  They reminded me that if I wasn't moving as much I needed to focus on my water intake and that more vegetables should be eaten.  I think that with all this guidance that I received I was able to achieve a milestone this week.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....

 

That's right, your seeing that right.  I lost 5 pounds this week & I am ready to jump out of my skin with excitement.  I listened to all the advice.  Drank 10+ glasses of water a day (believe I felt like I was floating & living in the bathroom most days) and made sure that if I wanted a snack that I chose a vegetable like green beans when I had the chance.  I really wasn't able to do more than the Yoga moves that Kia suggested.  I also got the 8 hours of sleep that is recommended. It helped that my husband stepped up last week & took care of more things around the house so that I could heal.
