Mamavation Monday Post

It's the end of the 2 week challenge and I'm pretty bummed about my progress.  I will say that I actually had a down moment while I was cooking dinner the other night..

I never do this- I actually ate chips right out of the bag while I drank a soda.  I never snack, so I realized that I hit a very low point. I went to Zumba on Wednesday night, ran on Thursday, did my 500 squats on Friday and did about a 4 mile walk with a friend.  I've yet to do my 100 squats today, so after I post I'm gonna do those.

My goal is to do 100 squats a day and 500 on Friday. Eventually I want to go up to doing 500 a day and then doing the momentuous 1000 squats every Friday. My friend Krista and I are doing this challenge together. I got her started on Saturday.  We both have the thigh issue so we are doing the squats for our butts and our thighs. LOL

But since joining the Sistahood I will say that my outlook on fitness has gotten on brighter. The Sistas are fantastic and so encouraging. I am sad that I didn't reach out that binge day. I should have. Next time I will.

  2. I'm with Lolo - we all fall. The real achievement is getting back up afterward. You can do it!

  3. It's ok to have a "bad moment" or two. You can recover, no problemo! ;)

  4. It is okay, you didn't fail, you are human. Each time you eat is a new chance to make a different choice.

    The squat challenge sounds like something I would love, maybe once my step challenge is complete.

  5. We ALL have our moments where we break down and 'snack'. It's OK especially if you don't let it ruin your evening/next day/ week!
    Keeping up with the squats is awesome, you'll be seeing results in no time.
    Great job! Keep it up!

  9. Everyone slips and falls now and then, but it's not about how or when we fall, but how gracefully we get back up. And you seem to be rockin' it! Keep up the great work!

  10. I'm glad you're with the sistahood and I know it will help make the fitness track easier to stay on. We're here to cheer you on to success, sista! Remember that will power is just like a muscle, the more you exercise it the stronger it gets. Keep up even the little steps because they snowball into big steps!
