Embracing a Healthy Family: Mamavation Sistahood Follow Along Week 5

Mamavation Sistahood Follow Along Week 5

Watch Lives Change

This was a good week for me in spite of my husband's deployment to Kuwait on the 29th.  I did really well which was my goal while he was gone.  I know I needed to kick it into gear and with last week's comments from all the wonderful, supportive Sistas, it really did help!


This week was met with healthier eating, less Frankenfoods (as Jillian Michaels terms them) and more exercise.  I removed colas from my diet some time ago and am now working on eliminating Crystal Light.  We also saw a renewed interest in the kids in eating food and I was successful in getting both little girls with eating carrots and corn on the cob.  It's a start!


I am down five pounds this week and it was all by healthy eating and exercising!  I had to make sure I emphasized that as I know BoobieBoo will be reading and watching!  I can't get anything over her but I'm not complaining.


My experiences with the Sistas will pick up as I get situated with his deployment, my job ending in early June thus allowing more time.  I think the premise behind the Sistahood is amazing and so inspiration.  I'm grateful for them and this opportunity!  Thanks to all the Sistas!


This week's goal:


Exercise five days and take the girls on a walk around the neighborhood to help them understand the importance of all us being healthy.


Ensure that we all eat at least one vegetable and a fruit every day.

Congrats on the loss! I gave up soda several weeks ago and should probably give up Crystal Light as well...but it's just so satisfying!

Firs of all, thank you to you and your husband for your service (I am a vet and understand the sacrifices of the family). Second, yay on your five pound weight loss and for getting th little people to try some veggies. I hope this success keeps you motivated and moving forward in meeting your goals.

Good for you! We both kicked those extra pounds this week. I'm so happy to be on the upside of things. It's a tough road. Good luck this week.

You are doing GREAT!!! So proud of you!

I know what you mean about getting the little ones to eat veggies. My almost 3 year old eats broccoli, corn, cooked carrots, and occasionally peas. But I really want to expand her horizons!

Keep up the great work!!
