Mamavation Monday

I don't have a lot of time today because of all I have to do this week so just a quick recap.

I got a new treadmill and I was finally able to try it out. You also may have noticed I got a new iPhone and I found an awesome app that lets me post my stats from my workout. Unfortunately the only space I have for the treadmill is in a room with no a/c and in TX we've been going into the triple digits. I still did a 30 minute workout but I made myself really sick from the heat and as soon as the workout was over and the treadmill stopped the room started spinning and I almost passed out. So I wanted to take a minute and stress the importance of proper hydration. We are here to get healthy and passing out from heat exhaustion after a workout is not healthy ladies. Please make sure you are drinking your water. And if you are feeling physically ill during a workout take a moment and rest. There is such a thing as overdoing it.

I was also excited to find out that my last post helped a fellow Sista. You all remember my awesome weight loss last week well, Mamavation graduate @Rachel_L mentioned me in her vlog this week. Check it out HERE, I feel so special *tear* lol. It is just so easy to get caught up in your every day life and not even realize that you have been slipping back into old bad habits and i'm glad my post helped her take a step back and reevaluate what she was eating and her water intake and she had a 3 lb loss this week. Congrats Girl!

Congrats also goes to Julie @jamnsfld76 for being Sista of the week! Thanks goes out to this week's sponsor Lori @gutimom. She is an Avon representative and is giving away a lot of swag this week to a lucky Mamavation Sista. Lori YOU ROCK!

My scale has unfortunately not moved again which means I need to stay on track and keep watching what I eat carefully. It does get hard when you are running around trying to do everything like enroll the kids in school, take your own classes, and then all this stuff with my husband.

Oh yeah, another update. My husband is still on medical hold in NC. The endochrinologist finally saw him on Friday and he does have hyperthyroidism and is now on medication to try and slow down his thyroid. Unfortunately this does mean he has to remain in NC until OCT 6th which is his next appointment. Then we will find out if the new meds are working or if not he will need to have surgery to have his thyroid removed.

My biggest goal this week is to get three or more treamill workouts in. Good luck with your goals ladies.

Hugs sweetie the roller coaster w/ the hubby will be over soon. At least he is getting the help he needs now. Praying that the meds do the trick.

keep up the good work, you will see the scale move. Remember Leah said she would have a few weeks of no movement and then a drop, maybe you are that way too. Keep your chin up! No negative talk PER PETE COHEN! Don't forget to get your memebership from him!! You can do this!

I hope your hubby gets to make it back to you healthy soon. As for you watch that hydration and working out in that room. I am sure you won't let yourself get to that passing out point again. Have a wonderful week.
