Pin itA new week and a new month full of new beginnings, but first let’s reflect on last week’s challenges and successes… I ended last week on bad note exercise wise, I didn’t do a full workout for 2 days, instead I did 15 minutes on the Weider Step Machine and I walked around my [...]
Pin itIf you can’t acknowledge your own accomplishments, how can you expect others to do so? I think that’s probably the biggest lesson that I took away from Pete Cohen’s session today. He asked us if we’re proud of ourselves for making it as far into the program as we have and I have to [...]
Pin itI am happy to report that my experiment with menu planning went really well! For the most part, I stuck to the menu as stated (you can see pictures of the meals here). The only two times I veered off course were Monday (forgot to make the steamed broccoli but no one even noticed, [...]

Pin itYes, I said it. I want to run a 5K. That may not seem like a lot but to someone who has not run in over 13 years, that’s a big deal. I like having a challenge or a goal to accomplish. For the past 30 days it’s been completing the EA Sports Active [...]
Pin itI finished the EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge this morning and I am so proud of myself. The last time I stuck with an exercise program for longer than a week was when I joined the Army (and that was a long time ago). When I started this challenge, I couldn’t even exercise [...]
Pin itAt the beginning of the month I started an exercise program in an effort to lose a little weight. As part of that program, I’m always on the look out for healthy snacks that I can munch on during the day ~ gotta stay away from the candy bars and all that other fattening [...]
Pin itToday is the first “official” day of Pete Cohen’s 28 Day Challenge for the Mamavation Mom applicants. I have to say, I’m pretty excited about this…. I’ve never had a personal weight loss/life coach before so I’m totally feeling like a celebrity. I consider Pete a life coach because he’s helping us to not [...]
Pin itThat’s the first thing my kids ask me when they walk through the door at the end of a long school day. Sometimes they even ask me that question as I’m driving them to the bus stop in the morning. I used to just mutter something along the lines of not knowing and not [...]
Pin itThis is a big week for me…. Tonight I have my first “official” meeting with the Mamavation Sistas who will be participating in Pete Cohen’s 28 Day Challenge and on Tuesday I’ll be finishing the EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge. I also feel like giving up. I seriously feel like throwing up my [...]
