Mamavation Monday

Hello ladies!

Let's start off with the weight situation. This week I maintained...didn't lose or gain one single ounce. I'm glad I didn't gain...but I thought I did really well with my food choices this week, so a big WHATEVER (talk to the hand) to you, Mr. Scale.

Also, over the past two days I've come down with some sort of allergy attack/cold disaster. I tried a neti pot for the first time and held my head upside down instead of tilted to the side. That's why using neti pots is now known as "medicinal water boarding" as far as I'm concerned. I also purchased some elderberry extract which tastes like it came straight from the seventh circle of hell. So...between the two, hopefully I'll feel better soon.

Our sponsor this week is Subway which as most of us know, is one of the best options for healthy food on the go. I'm not sure if I'll make it to Mamavation TV this week, since my sister is being induced Monday night (SQUEE!). We'll see how quickly she progresses and whether she wants to lovingly hold my hand and use my beautiful face as a focal point during contractions, or if she grows three heads and starts throwing things and roaring.

Hope you all have a fabulous week! This time next week, I'll officially be "Aunt CJ"...so look out for incredible words of wisdom and thought-provoking insight.

  1. haha watch out for the neti pot! If you don't hit the right angel, it can be painful/traumatic haha

    Have a great week and feel better. Can't wait to see what wisdom Aunt CJ will come up with next...

  2. Maintaining is always better than gaining. Rest up so you can get over your cold, then get right back into your routine - you can do it!

  6. I love my neti pot!! Good luck to your sister. Why is she being induced?

    Good job on maintaining. Are you writing down food? I find I don't lose unless I write it down....mostly.

  7. I love my neti pot, my hubby hates it, but still uses it because he feels better faster. Hope you get feeling better this week! This week, show that scale who's boss!

  8. Feel better soon. When I am not feeling well I neti pot, elderberry, and garlic lemonade - yep the hippie triad of wellness I suppose but they work for me.

  9. I hope you feel better soon but hope you aren't offended that I literally LOL'd at the "medicinal Water boarding" & Elderberry comments! Keep your chin up!

    Not sure if it helps, but whenever I am sick, my mom used to make me onion soup and it worked like a charm - now I make it myself. Definitely tastes better...

  10. Hope you get rested and your body begins to heal! No fun! Did anyone recommend the garlic lemonade? Check Kia's blog for the how-to. Helps me get over sinus stuff faster.

    Hugs!

  12. Do you measure yourself? It helps some times to see yourself lose inches if your not losing pounds. Good luck this week.
