It is Mamavation Monday time again!What did I do last week? I kept up the EA Sports Active 30 day challenge. We also did the UVA Walk for Kids on Saturday. It was a three mile walk that was pitched as a flat course. It was any BUT flat. We still made it. My husband pushed the girls in the Baby Jogger (about 60 lbs of kids plus the stroller!) and I babywore (that is the past tense of babywearing, right??) 23 lb Little Dude the whole walk. whew.
My challenge this week: I am going to FINISH with the 30 day Challenge on the EA Sports Active! This coming Saturday is my last workout. I am excited to finish it and am deciding what is next.
Results so far: Even after that KILLER walk on Saturday, I am disappointed to report I am up two pounds which puts me back to my starting weight. ugh. That being said, I know my level of fitness is improving every single day. I also know that my smaller clothes are still fitting so good stuff is happening even if that freakin’ scale is still annoying me weekly.
So what is next for me? My husband and I are coming up with a plan that is going to involve kicking it up for both of us. We both admitted this morning that we are great at maintaining weight but aren’t at the weight we want to maintain. So we will be working on how to get into a good weight loss mode but are going to work towards being really smart about it!
WOW — great job keeping up with the 6 week challenge! That is AWESOME! Can't wait to learn what you decide to do next.
P.s. Thanks for the shout out. 🙂
I think that is awesome how you have almost finished that challenge on the Active.
And about the scale, when I was losing, it wouldn't really move for like 2-3 weeks and then it would drop down significantly. That was just how my body gave up weight. You may have a similar pattern. Watch it and track it to see if there is a pattern and then you won't get so frustrated.
awesome on the 6 week challenge! I cant wait to get it and try it out!
keep oon pushing yourself forward..change will happen!
Are you mindful of your food, are you journaling? Extra calories sneak in on us sometimes when we don't realize it. I hope you find your next challenge.
I want to try out that 6 week challenge! Congrats on finishing it out! Good luck on the next challenge!
I love that your hubby is doing things with you. When you have a supportive spouse, it make all the difference. Good job on the challenge!!
Congrats on the challenge! I can't wait to try it
That's great that you are keeping up with your challenges! Glad to hear your hubby is on board too! That is great to have in home support.
Yeah! I love the idea of you and your husband working together to kick it up a notch. Get to the weight you want to maintain. Have fun finishing the 30-Day Challenge.
Beth, way to go on the 30 day challenge!! Take it day by day and remember muscle weighs more than fat:) The great news is you are feeling stronger overall and that is just fantastic!
Remember Leah said when you start working out more, you have some muscle swelling. Keep it up and you'll see a difference! THe fact that your clothes are fitting differently is a good sign!
