Baby it’s Cold Outside

Or at least it should be. I feel like here on the eastcoast global warming has robbed our chances for snow. My poor daughter said to me, Mommy I keep praying for snow! Me too love me too. But, I digress. So let me get to the reason for this post; Mamavation Monday!

Scale: Honestly, I haven’t weighed myself since the end of the 2 week challenge. The new challenge starts January 9th and I’m excited! You can sign up to do it with me here

Exercise: I went to the gym and worked out at home almost everyday.

Food: I wasn’t horrible for Christmas. I had some yummy homemade peanut butter fudge that I made with my bestie and also half a cupcake for Jesus’ birthday. But I said no to sugar cookies and other not worth it desserts.

Non Scale Victories: My jeans are getting baggy. Which is great but I’m still in between sizes so I’m hoping to get a full size smaller soon so I don’t look like a wannabe gangsta in my clothes lol

This weeks blogging carnival question: What is your #1 tip for adjusting your workouts to winter conditions?

My tip is to go to the gym and find a class or machine that you really love. If that isn’t an option and you have a gaming system use your workout games to stay active. Bottom line is: keep moving, and do something to make you sweat everyday. I even play the Zumba Fitness Radio on Pandora and shake it while I’m cooking ;)

Happy New Years everyone!

    I thought that we were snow deprived too until today! It has snowed about a half inch where I live in Kentucky.

    And I too hadn’t done much since the last 2 week challenge, but started p90x challenge today, so I’m excited to see where that takes me!

    have a great year and a great week

      Good luck with your p90x, I’ve heard it’s hard but it works :)

      Thanks for stopping by have a great week!

    Oooh dancing while you’re cooking is a good idea! It’s hard not to move when you’ve got the right music playing in your ears!

    No one in my household allows me to dance since I am so so terrible at it. LOL I’m in eastern WA and we are kind of wondering where the winter is too. Not that I am complaining too much. :)

    Dancing with my iPhone, Pandora, and my noise cancelling headphones always make dinner time less dis-functional.
    We have not had a need for an adjustment due to weather here in TN either, and yet I am still not getting out there. Oh! Well!
