Mamavation Monday - Ready to Rumble

Yes, I am ready to rumble, I am ready to fight my fat! Last weeks vacation was great. It was the first time our family of 4 have been away and it just be US. I was a little scared about that. My 2 boys are WILD and well extra hands are always appreciated! But it worked out great and we had a great time!


So, I started the 2 week challenge while on vacation.  I am so glad it happened that way. With Brad there to coral the boys I had no excuses.  So today is day 7 and even though I am dreading it, I know I will do it.  I have to confess I am still in the stage of abhorring (we don't us the H word) this type of exercising. I hope for the day that I love it and I know that I am doing my body good by doing it but I end this run on sentence by re-emphasizing that I abhor these type of exercises!

I am restarting Weight Watchers today.  I forgot to cancel this month since I have not been using it so the payment went through.  I saw this as a sign that I needed to go ahead and start back.  Hoping the accountability will help me drop the weight I need to drop.  Which now includes an extra 6 pounds from vacation!!!

So with the help of WW and my fit pal Rachael, water drinking, 2 week challenge I will get healthy and in shape!!!

I have been sticking to the Brita Challenge.  If you  have not taken the Brita Challenge I encourage you to click on the link and join!  I must say that I can tell a difference in the way I feel since I have started making sure I get at least 8 glasses of water a day!

Hope everyone has a great week!  Be kind and be healthy!

This post is sponsored by Brita and I took the Brita Challenge http://bit.ly/oRnbqd to be entered into a giveaway hosted by Mamavation – a community dedicated to obesity prevention & weight loss for women .

way to go. I too have started the brita challenge, starting today. and good job on joining the 2 wk challenge. I did the 2 week gruntstyle challenge back in july and it felt great, but I had to really push myself. those are indeed workouts that I abhor too. But I was proud of myself for doing it. you can do it!

I'm so proud of you for doing the challenge while on vacation! I have to say that I don't love jump squats or heaven help me burpees, but I'm hoping that the changes in my body will help me to at least tolerate it..lol!

SIX POUNDS DOWN ON VACATION?!?!?!? You are ROCKING this! Have an awesome week!

Toni said...

Thanks but it is 6 pounds up! I am telling myself it is all the water I drank!!! lol

Glad to have you joining in with the challenge, and starting on vacation no less? That is dedication.

Keep drinking that water and moving. A fast 6 lb gain can turn into a quick 6 lb loss with some work.

Best of luck this week!

What a commitment to start on your vacation! Yeah! I like WW even though I'm not on it any longer but liked how fruits and veggies were free! Glad you had a chance to spend some time with the family before really diving into the challenge but you can do it! Good luck starting into it this week!

Amanda said...

How wonderful to have gone on a vacation and started your rumble! I'm excited for you. You should probably come beat me into doing a rumble too 'cause I have not been taking good care of me... well, except for the water. I love drinking water; it's the only thing that quenches my thirst.
