Mamavation Monday: Week 5 Update

Tough week, I didn’t lose any weight, but didn’t gain either.  That’s a positive, I think!  Not exactly the best way to start my challenge to lose 50 pounds by July 10, 2010 for my 20  year reunion.

Water drinking is going well.  I only drink water or milk for all my meals.  I’ve only had one soda this week – and no coffee.  The no soda is no big deal, but the no coffee thing is pretty tough.  Especially with two early risers and a mama that works late nights. 

So honestly, the biggest challenge and I know the key to my ultimate weight loss success is exercise.  I’m doing my walking DVD’s because it’s too windy and cold to go for a walk with my girls right now.  I know the weather will get better soon, but I’m tired of being indoors.  And, I really don’t have anything to complain about – no snow.  But the wind and cold air isn’t much better for taking the girls out for a walk.  We’re ready for Spring!

Thanks Jessica (@fringies) for the wonderful idea of getting workout DVD’s through Netflix.  I had not thought about that before!  I already scoured the used exercise DVD section at a local store – no luck.  Might have to try Netflix again because it doesn’t look like a Wii is anywhere in my future. 

Have a great week everyone – looking forward to seeing your posts this week!
