Whoa! What a week it has been. Last Sat I ordered myself a Gruve and got it on Wednesday. Then on Friday I got myself a hydracoach and I m in love with that too. Then I have have the best opportunity given to me to do Pete Cohen’s program. Then yesterday I weighed in (keep reading for results)
First off I got the Gruve. The first week is an assessment week where you do your normal stuff and it sets your daily goal. I am somewhat disappointed in the number of calories I have been buring. Now I know I am not exercising at all but I still thought I would be burning more. Let me just tell you I only burn about 500 a day. Really thought it would be more. So no wonder I am not losing like I want. I need to move it move it!
Then on Friday I got the hydracoach. It basically keeps track of what you drink during the day. Now it told me I needed to drink half my body weight in oz.. ppl I am a big girl and 13o ounces is a lot. So I have set my goal right now to be 75oz of which I have yet to make. Water is so hard for me but I am tying. I like that it keep track for me and for $10 it was a great deal. I actually bought 2 extra for Leah to giveaway at Mamavation TV Monday nights. I feel so blessed to have this group it was the least I could do to help her out.
Now on to Pete. What can I say about Pete that you don’t already know if your a mamavation lady. I feel this guy honestly cares if I succeed. I have to say I feel I get more support from him then my family. He believes in me and that is so great. I have finally gone through all the steps to begin at day one. Let me just say I think some of the tools are wacky..LOL but make sense. I am big on frozen meals and packaged meats and meals because I have to have convenience me. I am also not a cook and hate to do it so i am not one to make things in advance. That is gonna be the hardest tool to get over. If you can’t and don’t want to join Pete’s program you can check out some free info at www.weightlossguru.com he truly is awesome! I thank him from the bottom of my heart for giving me this opportunity. I owe you Pete.
So now for my weight in… drum roll……I lost 1.6 this week and that is without exercise. I am so stoked about that. Now I have only lost 5 since Jan 1 but in the last 2 weeks I have lost 3 of that and of course I only discovered mamvation 3 weeks ago.
I will close by saying I am love all of my mamavation sistas and the support they give me. I feel like they are there for me and will push me when I need it. I am so blessed to have found this group and look forward to walking my path with you.
Great job! I need to get the hydracoach and gruve too. Sounds like everyone who is using them are able to keep themselves in check. Glad to see you enjoying Pete Cohen’s 28-day challenge. Keep up the good work!
You totally rock!! What a nice thing to do to buy 2 HydraCoaches!! You are generous and succeeding!!
Woo Hoo!
thats great that you lost the weight and congrats on getting the weightloss help aids, i started out my week good but its unraveling hopefully i can still salvage the week
Congratulations on your 1.6 lbs lost this week. Yay you! Yes, Pete Cohen is amazing.
When I arrived here in the States from the Philippines, the first thing I did was to stuff my fridge with frozen instant foods. I grew up with maids doing the chores at home so I had no idea how to cook. A week later, I met my husband & was horrified with what my fridge have. We ended up throwing all of it, good thing he knows how to cook. You just can’t beat home cooking. When we got married and started having kids, my journey to healthy lifestyle began with the purpose of self-preservation — for my kids. That’s when I learned about all the different nasty stuff in the processed foods, not to mention those foods that are not organic. We cook from scratch here at home, almost everyday, using organic vegetables, meat, grains, etc. It’s hard, considering hubs and I both have fulltime jobs, but it’s totally worth it.
Good luck on your journey to healthy lifestyle. I know you can do it! — @ImAHotMom
You’re doing awesome! Way to go!
You also have me so excited about the hydracoach that I went to order one but it’s $29 + $19 for international shipping – boo! $50 for a water bottle
I guess I just have to do a better job recording what I drink.
Congrats on your loss! Sounds like you are on the right track to reach your goals. I have been thinking about a Hydra Coach. Sounds like it is a good addition to this journey we are on. I hope you have a fabulous week!
congrats on all the cool new tools and on your loss! Super nice of you to be doing a giveaway with your extra hydracoach!
Congrats on the loss and the realization about the calories you are burning. Both count as successes to me, build on them both. Also, thank you for your generosity with the hydracoaches. I hope you are able to work up to your water requirements soon.
Thank you so much for the giveaway! That was such an awesome thing to do for your other Sistas! XXOO
Great job on the weight loss! You are doing so good! We are here with you every step of the way! Hugs!
Way to go on the 1.6 lbs gone!!! Just think how much more will be gone when you get to movin’!!
And how thoughtful of you to buy the extra HydraCoaches for Leah to give away! You’re so sweet!
The first of many! How exciting for you. Get moving on that exercise and you’ll be amazed how fast it melts away! Keep it up!
yay for a good week and some great purchases. I am thinking about getting a hydracoach too.
Great job with your loss! If the gruve and bottle motivate you….all the better for your investment!
I can’t wait to see your progress this coming week!
