Mamavation Monday: Here Again

By

It is Mamavation Monday time again!

My subject is just “Here Again” as in roll call and I am here … again . Once again, that is about all I can say this week.

Looking for my last Balance Ball post? It is over on bookieboo.com? It is HERE if you missed it! Join us in the discussion. The next post should of gone up last week but it didn’t. Hopefully this week I can find some time … hopefully!

We got over being sick. YAY! I finished my work for my graduate class (grades still aren’t out at last check.) I decided that I needed to balance my family and work right now. I have been missing my family time and am working on some deadlines for my work. So I will be restructuring my “working day” time. I am going to see how that works this week and next week. I honestly have no clue where work out time falls in there but if I get my family time then I will be happy.

I back at the maintain weight stage it seems. I am at my favorite body weight for right now. Well my body’s favorite … totally not mine. To top it off my jeans are annoying me. My size 14s fall off me. My size 12s make me feel like a sausage in its casing. I have been going with the 14s this week just to breathe but I am going to try to get those 12s fitting better here soon. That is my near term goal. Well, that and not to eat too many cookies. We made an insane amount of cookies this past weekend. I haven’t made Christmas cookies since 2004 or 2005. I am making up for lost time it seems. I am having good self control though!

  1. Now I feel like making cookies. Thank You.
    Hope you will be able to get into size 12 easier just as soon as you are finished with the shred or P90X or Biggest Looser Challenge. Which ever one works for you – Good Luck getting there. And we are hear to cheer for u

  2. Oh, I want to join the EA Sports Challenge. Of course, it depends on if I will be getting the EA Sports Active 2 for Christmas (or from myself with holiday money). If so, then I will be in!

    Good luck with the pants. I know being between sizes can be frustrating. You can do it! Make those size 12s look good!

    Happy Holidays.

  3. Sounds like a hectic schedule. I hope that your changes will help get the family time back. EA Sports Challenge sounds fun.
    Sorry to hear about the jeans, maybe just a different brand could make the difference?
    Way to go with the self discipline in the cookie kitchen.
    Merry Christmas.

  4. Sounds like you've got a good challenge and will have folks to join you. Way to go! Remember the self care tips as well.

  5. The EA Active challenge sounds great! I was going to do P90x, but it may be too advanced for me just yet. Ill do the challenge with you!
    Have a very Merry Christmas!
