Mamavation Monday: Learning to take my time

Watch Lives ChangeI am waiting to find out if I am one of the 5 finalist for one of two spots as a Momavation Mom (Psst, if I am one, please vote for me). In the mean time I have be creating a backup plan so that if I am not a finalist or if I don’t get enough votes and I can continue on my path to losing 195 pounds.

I know first hand that life doesn’t always make it easy for most people to focus on fitness and health. I have spent many a night planning to work out and cook better only to fall flat on my face. In the last few weeks since applying for Mamavation I have been more focus on creating a life that includes healthy choices for bot myself and my family. And I am learning to take my time.

Mamavation and Me

Please forgive the darkness of the video. My husband filmed it when he came home from work at 2:00 this morning and I knew that if I tried to perfect it, I probably would have backed out. So I took the plunge and posted what I had.

Watch Lives ChangeSo what is this? Well, I’m applying to be a Mamavation Mom. Mamavation, started by BookieBoo, is a sisterhood of support geared towards using social media to help motivated and teach moms how to live a healthy life. The Mamavation Mom program offers 2 moms the tools that they need to get fit- it’s a 7-week bootcamp. More importantly it provides these 2 moms with the best tool for weight-loss success: support.

I’m applying for the program and would really appreciate your support. I’m asking that you all tweet the following to let everyone know that I have a strong support system.

Hey @bookieboo! I want @momontherise aka @KristinaDaniele to be the next #Mamavation Mom. She has my support!

It’s funny how things snap into perspective so easily when your child looks at you and says, “I love you.”

I have known for a long time that I need to lose weight. Two-hundred and ten pounds of weight. I won’t try to figure out how I let this happen because the fact is that it did happen. What I am focusing on is losing it because that is what matters.

I was recently diagnosed with an Overactive Thyroid. A lot of people with this disorder lose weight but that has not been the case for me. However, my heart rate is elevated, my metabolism is slowed, and I am a nervous wreck because now more than ever I realize that my health is at stake.

So, I rejoined PeerTrainer.com today after talking about it with my friend Renee who is also on a journey to lose weight.  We decided to motivate each other and I remembered having some success with PeerTrainer. I also signed up for the PeerTrainer “Point of no Return” Weight Loss Program. It is sort of a mental boot camp that provides the tools needed to help lose and maintain weight loss. I admit that I need all the help that I can get.

I am also using the EA Active/EA More Active for the Wii. I need a lot more physical activity in my everyday life. Working from home in front of the computer is not helping me lose weight so, I have to change that. I am also going to be using Jillian Michaels, Leslie Sansone, and Exercise TV. My family has also decided to add a dog to out mix so that we can get more time in outdoors. Andrew and I had 2 dogs… Continue reading
