So for the most part this was a pretty good week. Was able to get to the gym, for the first time in almost a year, with the hubs and Baby D. The family fitness room was ok, had several ellipticals and one treadmill which sucked, but hey beggars cant be choosers when its free. They had weights in there too, not anything too exciting, but at least I got something in. I did a Bollywood Booty video this week too, which I hadn't done in a long time either and enjoyed laughing at myself as I worked up a sweat, so did the baby. Yesterday we all went out and enjoyed the beautiful weather and walked around the park. It was so nice to be out in the fresh air, and was nice to be able to walk around the park and not run out of breath or be uncomfortable, seeing as the last time I walked it, I was 30 weeks pregnant or near about. I'm hoping to get over to the gym a couple of times a week, and I'm hoping to possibly find a babysitter at least once a week so that I can take a Zumba class, I hear great things about them.
I've been tracking my food better, using the SparkPeople food tracker, I think I tracked 3 days this week, which is a vast improvement. My water intake is increasing, slightly. At least I'm drinking some everyday, vs not drinking any. Fruits and Veggies are getting easier. even for dinner tonite I'm going to try Eggplant, hubs wants to make something with the Eggplant we bought at the store, so we'll see how that goes. I think I got my #fruitsnveggies in another 5/7 days, but at least they are getting in. As of 5:30 am when I'm writing this I've not weighed myself, I'll do that in a bit (once Baby D and I get up from our nap) and update this.
Goals for this week:
-I added the Couch to 5k app on my Ipod Touch and I'm going to use @fitcheerldr 's new forum on getting starting running so that I might be able to run. Now that I have the app on my Ipod that means I'll do it, right?
-Keep getting those Fruits and Veggies in, they are so yummy.
-Keep getting my water in, water does taste really really good.
-Try to get back to the gym this week, if not oh well, I've got a list of my workout videos and stuff I can do at home, which I'll post for next week.
-Try tracking my food more days out of the week, I know its hard when we are making our own thing, but at least I can try.
I hope my #mamavation Sistas and mamas are having a great week. And that our #mamavation Moms Katie and Lisa have a kick butt final week. *hugs*

Yay for doing the C25K. I'm so proud of you for taking time for yourself so you can get healthy. Keep going and drink that water!
haha, Bollywood Booty (I am not laughing at you, but laughing in excitement...LOL!) I would love to do that video. I love Bollywood!
Good Luck on your Couch to 5K! What a great goal!!
Sounds like you are doing a great job. Make the tools you have work for you! You can do it!
Sounds like you are on the right track to reach your goals. Good luck with your Couch to 5K!
I'm thinking about the C25K too. My excuse for not starting right now is that I need better shoes. I know, it's just an excuse.
Good for you for tracking your food - it has made a HUGE difference for me. Have you found the recipe calculator on SP? (on menu on SparkRecipes) You can enter your own recipes and it calculates the nutritionals for you. Yes, a pain in the tookus the first time, but if you make a lot of the same recipes, then it's done.
Keep up the good work! So proud of you!
Katie these are great goals. Good luck working them! I can see how some are easier than others like the water and veggies/fruit vs. getting to Zumba since you have a little one and babysitting. Make sure to do the things in your control and don't beat yourself up over the ones that are not. DVDs and C25K are in your control, find the time to do them around your partners schedule. You can do it!!
congrats on gettin in some water and enjoying it and getting those veggies in. Great plans for the week! Keep up the hard work!
Bollywood? How fun is that? It's always good to throw in something new in the mix. Good luck this coming week.
I know I've said it before, but I really wanna try a Bollywood dvd!!! I love that you laugh at yourself. I do the same thing when I do HipHop Abs. I'm so uncoordinated, it's funny. It sounds like you've had a great week! Keep it up!!! I still need to try the eggplant... Oh & before I forget~DRINK MORE WATER! (I'm helping people today) = )
You are making some awesome changes!! You have such a great attitude about this that it is inspiring! Keep up the wonderful work! :)
