I’ve been following @bookieboo and some of the other ladies who participate with the Mamavation group for some time. Finally decided to join the group and get some mamavation going while I work harder towards my health and fitness goals. Today I got my approval to join and let me just say I’m PUMPED! Or was it the trip to the gym after work today?? Who knows, the fact is I’m taking steps towards improvement. Improvement that will give me more energy, make me feel better about myself and of course lead me towards a better role model for my kids. How can I preach the importance of being active and making better choices if I’m not following my own advice? Right? RIGHT!
As I mentioned over the weekend, I joined a local gym (which I LOVE), had a fitness assessment with a trainer (which made me realize how out of shape I was), and have been trying to go either during lunch or after work hours. The cool thing? My company’s covering the cost of the gym as long as I dedicate at least 10 visits a month. ABSOLUTELY doable and a great incentive to finally get my butt in the gym. No more excuses. The gym’s basically across the street from work and another site is about 10 minutes from the house. Tomorrow’s another visit to the gym with the personal trainer for a free personal training session. I’m sure I’ll be feeling like jello come tomorrow evening. This week the kids will be in Vacation Bible School so stopping by the gym on the way home will be great if a meeting has me missing my usual lunch time (like today).
GOALS FOR THE WEEK: Drink more water
(got my new water bottle to sport)
and avoid eating out during lunch
(packing lunches w/ fruits & veggies).
