Mamavation Monday: Week Eleven

First let me say I am sorry I did not post last week. For some reason our WiFi in my complex was down for about 4 days. I tried to go to the library but with an 11 month old that just does not work well. The past two weeks have been so hard for me emotionally which has taken it's toll on me with working on getting in shape. I describe it as a high and then coming down.


Let me explain what I mean. Two weeks ago was the final of the Move it and Lose it competition. I lost 23 pounds during that competition! I lost over 10% of my body fat which won me $500 and a pair of Earthwear Footwear. This competition was sponsored by Earthwear and I am forever thankful for it. I received my check last week and can not wait till I get to put the shoes to good use. As if that was not enough on Tuesday we had the twitter party for Shay from the Biggest Loser. I walked away that night winning a $50 Subway giftcard and an interview with Jared. I am so excited to be able to ask him about his journey and learn from him.

So all is great right? Well I thought so and then my life happened and I did what I have always done.... succumbed. I have not seen my husband in two weeks and it will be at least Friday before I do. (Thats if his work does not make it even longer) My oldest is at my moms this summer except the week of Father's Day and I miss him terribly. Caleb is waking up 5 and 6 times a night but then back up at 6 am. My back is killing me and I had to go get X Rays last week to find out what is going on (still no results). All in all I am lonely, depressed, and fighting to keep my head above water.


So what came of it all? Bad food choices, several sodas, very little exercise, and overall doing nothing but gaining 3 pounds. Yes you read that right I gained 3 pounds! I am beyond ashamed because I worked so hard and I am doing it again. I was so proud of walking my 4-7 miles a day and when talking to my dr last week he said I was wasting my time. So instead of remembering my numbers and pushing through all the crap I caved and faltered. I feel like I let myself down, mamavation down, my family down, etc.


I am trying to fix this but not really sure how. I know just get up and move but I just can't. Why, you ask? I don't know.... I guess because I am good at making excuses and letting other's make them for me. So I need your help mamavation!
