Mamavation

So...I've decided to try and be a Mamavation Mom for their next campaign (Lose weight & detoxify your home).  I am not much of a blogger or Twitter gal @roxylake, but I am trying to get involved more in that, and hence this post and my now whopping 20 Twitter followers.  But, hey...progress is progress...at the beginning of the week I only had one Twitter follower.  Of course, Facebook is where I spend way too much time.  Just ask my husband & kids. :)

I am actually really interested in the upcoming campaign.  Not only do I have plenty of post baby fluff left to lose, I really LOVE the detoxify aspect of this campaign.  I always want to live with less toxins in our environment and consume less in the foods we eat.  But, it's so hard to figure out economical and easy ways to accomplish this.  And let's just face it, I just don't know where to start most of the time and I just put it on the back burner.  As a mother, I would love to be able to provide a home for my children where they are not exposed to so many toxins.  I also want to become more educated in this area.  The one thing I have learned is that these kids grow up fast and there is such a small window of time to not only take care of them, but to model behavior that will stay with them as they venture out on their own someday.  

And I am also looking forward to running the Virtual 5k they have coming up this weekend.  I love to have events to look forward to, it helps keep me motivated!

Fitness Update*  (3/17/14) I didn't ever follow through on trying to get on the Mamavation bandwagon.  But, I did run in the Kansas City Marathon Relay in October 2013. I did the 8 mile leg.   I joined Aspen Fitness last month and have an upcoming half marathon in Olathe, KS coming up on April 26th.  I definitely need to get into gear, since my running has been lagging.  I'm looking forward to warmer weather and getting out on the run more within the next few weeks.
