Inspiration Wednesday

Ugh, I forgot what day it was!! So here's Inspiration Wednesday a day late :D

This is how I feel about me! I'm tired of all the hype about being perfect. Who in the world is actually perfect? Doesn't everyone have some sort of imperfection, whether it be inside or out? I would rather work my hardest at being the best ME that I can be, not some image of perfection that has been developed by our media.

So today I compel all of you to let go of the stereotypes and just work on being the best YOU that you can be!!!

Mamavation Monday - Week 10 of marthon training redone

Can I just say, I was on fire last week!!! I got in a workout everyday, and followed my training plan. I definitely started August out on a good foot. Now if I can just keep up my motivation and kick my butt into gear. I hope to start Turbo Fire this week and I am very excited about that. Ok, here's my wrap up of last week - 

Monday - Swimming with the boys, and playing in the pool

Tuesday - 3.03 miles speedwork, bowling

Wednesday - Pop Pilates muffin top workout, Spark People kickboxing, swimming

Thursday - 3 miles easy run

Friday - Pop Pilates intense abs, Spark People jump workout

Saturday - swimming

Sunday - 17 miles run

Let me tell you that running while watching the Olympics really is a motivator. So I'm still ramped up for this week. Here are my goals - 

1. Continue to follow my training plan

2. Start Turbo Fire for my XT days

3. Work more on my eating 

4. Get up to workout in the morning before work. 

How about you guys? How was your week? Any new goals for this week?

Fabulous Friday

What do I feel fabulous about this week? Well for one, it's Friday :) It's been a crazy work week just coming back from vacation, but I have a job, so for that I am grateful. Second, I had an absolutely awesome vacation!!! It was a once in a lifetime trip for my boys!! Totally amazing, I still have to blog about it so I can share it with all of you. Lastly, I finally decided to embark on the Team Beach Body Coach opportunity. I'm very excited, and I am starting a challenge at the end of the month. Let me know if any of you are interested in joining it. 

What fabulous happened during your week?

Many of you know that I have been on vacation for the last two weeks, so my exercise plan has pretty gone to the way side, and the two weeks before that was pretty slim, too. But I've decided that I'm starting anew - August 1st is the beginning of the new me. No more excuses - I will obtain my goals!!!

Who's with me?!?!?!!?!

Mamavation Monday - I'm back!!!!

I'm back blogger world!!!! We just came home from a 2 week vacation exploring the east coast, and as you can see while I was gone, I took a vacation from my blog, too. I did get in just a couple of runs, but did plenty of walking throughout the 2 weeks. I'm happy to report that while I didn't lose any weight, I didn't gain any either, and with all the eating I did, that was amazing to me.

So, now that I've had my break, I am planning on being back in full force with my training, exercise and eating regimen. I, also, have decided to become a Beachbody Coach. I think that I will enjoy providing encouragement to others while they fulfill their health goals.

Keep your eyes open, as I will have my vacation recap up in the next few days. So glad to be home!!!

Fabulous Friday

I have so much to feel fabulous about today!!! First, I was chosen as a Sweat Pink Ambassador earlier this week. How exciting to be part of such a fabulous group of ladies. And on top of it we get great swag to keep and give out. As soon as I started corresponding with the Sweat Pink ladies I immediately felt welcome. I definitely recommend requesting to join, if you are interested in being part of an active community - Sweat Pink

Second, I left today for a 2 week vacation with the family. We stopped in South Carolina, where I get to have dinner with some great friends that I haven't seen in quite a few years. Next we're off to DC, where while getting to see some awesome sights that my boys and I have never seen, I will run into my cousin. From there we're headed to visit with my parents, how I miss immensely. We are going to spend two days in New York City, so my boys can experience it, and then we will be going to the wedding of my hubby's cousin. On the way home, we are going to make a bunch of stops to different areas. I'm so excited!! So far the trip has been awesome (I know we're only 5 hours in), and I hope it continues :) I will keep you all posted on my adventure :)

What do you feel fabulous about this week????

Inspiration Wednesday

Most of you know, I struggle with my training because I can't keep my mind in the right mindset to overcome the challenges. From what I hear, a lot of you struggle with that. I've made a deal with myself, that starting August 1st, I am going to overcome my negative mindset. I'd do it earlier but I leave for a 2 week vacation on Friday, and I know the lack of time I will have to exercise will derail my goal, and leave me frustrated. So here's your inspiration for today - get rid of the negativity in your mind, and you will have a positive life :)
