I just completed my first 2 Week Challenge!! Honestly, I didn't think it would be that hard, after all I workout already and eat healthy. I was wrong! I was sore, tired, and definitely grunted my way through the planks. Finding time to fit in the extra workouts made me really scrutinize my “me-time” and how I could better be using it! I tried to twit pic every meal/snack but I did miss quite a few. I would be so hungry I would devour my meal, then think oops I was suppose to take a picture of it! But I promise I ate healthy and didn't cheat!
Here are my measurements:
*Starting: Weight: 172 Waist: 33 Hips: 38 Thighs 25
*Ending: Weight: 169 Waist: 31 Hips: 37 Thighs: 23 1/2
Congrats to everyone who finished with me! I'm looking forward to reading your posts.
This weeks blogging carnival question is: What is your biggest achievement of the year?
Wow, I really have to think about that. I survived sending my first born to kindergarten, I only cried a little a lot. My son who was a late talker is now chatting away, thanks to some one on one time with mommy! I re-started blogging and it's been greater then I could have expected.
The biggest achievement though is the overall health of my family. My husband and I joined a gym, committing to going at least 3 days a week. I have taught my children about what you put in your mouth and the exercise you get keeps you healthy or makes you sick. We have switched over to eating 100% natural and organic. That alone has helped me with my migraines and others in the house with digestive problems. I'm continuing to educate myself on organic/natural eating, and also natural cleaners, medicines, etc. I have lost weight, toned up, and feel better about myself. After Christmas I'm going to have to do some major shopping for smaller jeans! In the coming year I would love to see myself at my goal weight, but if I don't make it I know I will do my best to get there!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thanks for visiting.
Thank you all so much! Yay for finishing right?! I think it is so important to involve our families in our weight loss/nutrition adventures. Hope your weeks aren’t too stressful 🙂
Congratulations on finishing the 2week challenge. I am so glad it’s over. i can’t wait for the next one though. have a great xmas.
AWESOME JOB!
Woohoo for jean shopping! Its amazing what we put into our mouths and how it effects the rest of our bodies. Nothing has helped my hubby more than watching the corn products. Just eliminating all the corn derived items has really helped with my weight gain too.
I agree with you when it comes to the me time and finding ways to use it better. That was the biggest lesson I learned as a mamavation mom.
You have awesome results for the 2 week challenge! Congrats!!!!
Amazing results! Good for you and I can’t wait to see what you do in 2012.
Congrats on the two week challenge and weight loss! I’ve been wondering how hard those are and now I know! Sending them to school for the first time is never easy on moms! I hope you have a great 2012!
