Mamavation Monday – Movin’ and Gruvin’

It was a good week this week. The scale moved in the correct direction….even if just a little. I ate more fresh fruits this week. I find that if I buy the containers of pre-cut fruits, I eat more. I am lazy with my food, and hate preparing it. I drank more water.  I only [...]

Mamavation Monday – Getting Into the Right Mind

It’s Monday Again……Mamavation #7

This will be short and sweet.   I was sick most of last week.  I did not exercise except for tennis twice during the week.  All other exercise was put on hold until I feel better. I even put off cardio tennis to stay in bed on Saturday morning. I just finished my second round of [...]
