I missed writing this post last week but…I was out of town enjoying a family birthday celebration for myself, my youngest son and my dad. That being said….I am glad to announce that I have maintained. Yes, the spice cake, pasta salad, potato salad and everything else was delicious and I enjoyed it very much and…I maintained my weight while splurging!
I also started a new job this week, I am filling in for our church office manager for the summer, so that means 24 more hours a week of mostly sitting! I try to get up and move around the office at least every hour but it is tricky. This also means I am trying to fit exercising in to my new schedule.
I received an awesome birthday present from my parents to help me towards my healthy goals! We went to New Balance and I was fitted for a pair of walking shoes with the proper inserts to help with my plantar faceitis…thanks mom and dad!
I’ve done great on my water and this week’s goals are too…add more water (add another liter a day), eat well, get in at least 10,000 steps a day and get more sleep.
Awesome present! Hope you enjoyed your birthday and I look foward to hearing how much walking you did in those shoes in your next mamavation post! 😉 HUGS

Congrats on maintaining! That’s an accomplishment with a week like yours. As someone who works a full time job, I know it can be difficult finding time to work out. My advice is to think of exercising as something you have to do. You HAVE to go to work or you’ll get fired. You HAVE to work out so you’ll lose weight. Make it a priority!
VERY nice birthday present (yay for you!).
Yeah, staying active is going to be crucial . . . I know what happens to me if I sit down all day! Good luck with that — can’t wait to hear how you stay active. 🙂

Cute shoes!! Thats awesome that your family helps support your choice of healthy lifestyle. It makes it that much easier! Have a super week! I look forward to seeing how well you do next week!
Why don’t you concentrate on nutrition while you are at your new job. If you can maintain a healthy diet, you will lose weight. It will just take longer. And then add in the exercise as you get the hang of things.
