Mamavation Monday: I’m a Finalist!

by Christi on January 10, 2011

I decided to wait on my Mamavation Monday post until the finalists were announced. So at midnight on the east coast, I found out that I am a finalist! I’m soo thankful, excited and even a bit nervous!

The hazing has really gotten me into moving a lot more than I was. Well, better than I was during the flu episode. The coughing is nearly over, only coughed with jumping jacks yesterday.

So last night I don’t know which was bigger news to me, being a finalist or finding out that I have 10 weeks until my husband will be home for a week. It will be our anniversary week, and he is cooking up something special. Our honeymoon was spent in the burn unit, so we want to do something special this go round.

We do want to do a weekend together between now and then, and if we don’t get to do that I’m not sure how well we will make it. It’s getting super hard to be apart.

So back on track here, I have some goals for this week:

  • Get at least 60 oz of water in a day, before juice and anything else.
  • 12k steps a day
  • Start back at day 1 on EAS Active 2
  • Get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep
  • Campaign for Mamavation

Question of the week:

Have you ever been injured starting a new exercise routine? Tell us about it…If not, do you get any aches and pains? Where?

This morning I have a lot of aches and pains from walking without having the right shoes on. Seriously, I know better! I almost twisted my knee last night, and my hips are not feeling great at all. So, yeah I’ll be digging out those super expensive, ugly walking shoes for my walks until my hips are doing better.  If your feet are in alignment, the rest of your body will be too! Make sure you are wearing the best shoes!

Don’t forget to get your votes in this week! I appreciate all of your support and hope that you vote for me @ChristiDarty!

Best wishes with the campaign!! :-)

Good rule to make for the water. I do something similar, but I make myself drink 32 oz water before my morning coffee! It definitely gets me chugging

Have a great week

Congrats! I was excited to see your name there. Your goals look fabulous for the week. I know the sleep one is my big struggle. Seems like my day starts at 8pm when my kiddos go down to sleep. Ugh.

Have a great week, you are on such a great roll!
