Mamavation Monday: Week THREE

Okay so this week is week one for me in a new challenge, "Move It & Lose It" Challenge sponsored by Earth Footwear. The applicant that loses the highest percentage of body weight during the seven week campaign will win $500 and a pair of shoes. The second place winner will also win a pair of shoes. I need you all to help support me because I could really use the $500; we would use it for Ken to adopt Aaron. Let me get the things I have to do for the challenge out of the way then I want to update you more on me and this past week! So here is my before pictures. (Please don't have nightmares.... I know I will!)

Yes you seen that right I went to Subway! I must say after looking at the nutrition labels alot more carefully since starting this journey I realized if I cut out some small things I could treat myself every now and then. I got the foot long (half for lunch today and half tomorrow) Oven Roasted Chicken Breast on the 9 grain wheat bread. I did get one slice of cheese versus 2, lettuce, tomato, pickles, cucumbers, bell peppers, and a few peppers. I then had them put about one teaspoon of honey mustard and sweet onion (both are fat free). I enjoyed it more then I ever have I guess since I knew I was making healthier choices!

I am so happy with my progress and I know I could not have done this without the support of the Mamavation sistas. Want to know more about being apart of Mamavation?

  6. Congrats on your progress! You are doing great. When I first started my journey a year ago I would say how much I lost but it took me almost 6 months before I actually admitted online what my starting weight was. It is such a hard thing putting it out there....so great job!

  12. It sounds like you are doing fabulously! I fell off the 'tracking my food & exercise' wagon a while ago and I now realize how important it is to get back on...it really keeps me focused and aware of what I am consuming and how I am treating my body. You are doing great!
