Mamavation Monday
Hi! I’m Janice – a CANADIAN mom of 3 little princesses (6, 4 & 1) who loves running, strong coffee, & beer.
Mamavation Monday
This is my Mamavation post for Monday, August 23, 2010.
Hey everyone!
Mamavation Monday
How was your week? My week was pretty good – I was motivated for most of the week, but found the lack of routine on the weekend hard to overcome, which may have had something to do with the rain… Rain that we desperately needed! My eating was ok, but I bet I could make a better effort to get my fruits & veggies in. Oh! and my midwife called – my fatigue is due to low iron (again!). So I’m now on a double dose of SpaTone. I must say that it’s been helping – Yay! (Something to consider if you’re feeling run down).
This week I only logged 8km of walking towards my 500 by birth goal, which means I’m at now 429 KM.
Monday: Worked out with my awesome trainer at lunch.
Tuesday: Did my Walk and Tone mp3 Workout – my arms were killing me the next morning! (walked 4k)Ran 5k.
Wednesday: Worked out with my awesome trainer at lunch.
Thursday: No workout because I had a prenatal massage!
Friday: Did my Walk and Tone mp3 Workout – my arms were killing me on Saturday morning! (walked 4k)
Saturday: Rest day.
Sunday: Rest day.
Next week I hope to workout twice with my personal trainer and do 3-4 walks. I’ll also start week # 1 of the Inner Mean Girl Cleanse – it’s a 6 week cleanse/coaching program designed to help think more positively – I’m really looking forward to it, and would love for you to join me in it.
Congrats to this week’s Sista: ShawneeH!
PS – I’ve got some great giveaways for you this week:
1. Walk & Tone mp3 Workout
2. Anti Monkey Butt Powder
3. The Rattles “Rattle On” CD

Yanno, you’re pretty awesome yourself! Thanks Lori!
I’m in for the Inner Mean Girl cleanse too! I thought it would be something nice to do for myself
Have a great week

Cool! I look forward to hearing if you enjoy it. Have a great week!
The rain kinda made me lazy as well. I’m going to have to check out this Inner Mean Girl Cleanse. Sounds very interesting. I might be along for the ride. Have a super week Janice!

Thanks Shannon! Let me know what you think of the cleanse – it fits in with the end of this Mamavation campaign perfectly, in terms of timing!
You’re a superwoman! I ran in the rain today. It was wonderful!

Man! That sounds like fun! I don’t mind running in it, but walking? ICK!
I actually prefer running in the rain! It’s so refreshing!!
Greta recently posted..Mamavation Monday—August 22- 2010
Sounds like you have an awesome plan in place. You rock!
Karla Bond recently posted..Happy Healthy Monday
Thanks Karla! Though I’m going to need some help from all of my Sista’s once I’m on maternity leave, I find working out much harder at home. Are ya up for the challenge?
I wish I had you nearby for my next pregnancy. You could coach me through being fit while pregnant. I did poorly when I was preggers with my DD. I gained 40 lbs or so, which isn’t bad, but my nutrition was terrible. I ate whatever, never exercised…and yeah. With a person like you around, a person just wants to do better. KWIM?
Thanks for the link to the internal mean cleanse. I signed up! I think I need it.
You are SO amazing and inspiring!! I admire you! I will check out the link to the inner mean girl cleanse… and might join you! I will let you know on twitter!
Have a great week!

Doh, I meant to sign up for the inner mean girl school over a week ago. Thanks for the reminder.
You are doing awesome Janice. I am glad iron was the solution to your fatigue. Do your best to get those freggies in. If flailing remember that this weather will not be around year-round, take advantage now while everything is fresh and local (like in your yard local).

Glad you were able to get some energy with the iron pills – I know how tough the 3rd trimester can be when you’re working AND have another little one.
Keep up the great work and can’t wait to meet the new addition to your family

Wow, I LOVE how healthy and fit you are during your pregnancy. Such a great example and motivator. YES!
Shawnee H in OR recently posted..Menu Plan Monday – finally
Thanks Shawnee!
I have to tell you, I am so stoked to get your newsletter for how to run a 5K. I so want to be able to do this in the near future but running scares me and I suck at it. But I want to learn how to love it. You are such an inspiration and I enjoy getting to know you on Twitter! Good luck with your goals this week!

The weather is such a motivating factor! I did so much more this week as it was cooler, less humid and less rainy here than its been all summer. I can definitely understand it throwing you off schedule. Hope the extra iron helps you get some more energy too!

Thanks for the tip about low iron… I ALWAYS forget about my iron levels… I am typically low, so I am going to take some extra for a while… I have been feeling completely exhausted lately and I bet that is playing a BIG part!
have a great week hun!
Sorry! WordPress auto selected my old blog… long story… fixed it~
Laura – Win Lose or Blog recently posted..Mamavation Monday! – Another week later
I always forget too
Have you tried spatone iron? It’s liquid & you add it to your morning juice (I add it to cranberry juice bc I frequently get bladder infections). It’s easy on my tummy & don’t get any of the other unpleasant side effects that you typically get from iron either.
You’re just about the coolest person I know. You’ll get to that 500k goal! Just think of the walking you’ll be doing in early labour
Oh yay for prenatal massage. I had such bad sciatica, that’s the only thing that saved me, take full advantage of it, it’s so wonderful!
I seriously hope we can run together in the Spring! I’m really, really excited to get yer W&T MP3 too. Like…super duper

Awwww thanks! So far your payment hasn’t cleared paypal – but I’m sending it your way to review, ok? When your $ comes through, I’ll refund it
I thought of you every time it rained last week. And we had some doozy thunderstorms over the weekend!
I LOVE the Walk & Tone workout! I’ll be getting my review up this week – sorry for the delay. Had to make a few bloggy changes.
You’re doing great, Janice. What a great start your little one will have in life!
Heather recently posted..Mamavation Week 34
Lol! We sure did need the rain! I no longer have straw in place of grass
. I’m looking forward to reading your review!
Once again, I love seeing how active you are while pregnant! You are such a great example! I didn’t get around to writing my review this week, I wanna try it out once with the new one you were talking about, with the quieter voice overs. I hope you have a great week and keep up the good work Mama!
Kimberly recently posted..Mamavation Monday! I need new shoes!
Thanks Kim! I better get right onto re-mixing the music & voice overs for you
Have a great week!
SpaTone? Hmmmm Looks like something I need to check into.
@PamelaMKramer – A Renaissance Woman recently posted..5 Fingers of Thanks
Yes, SpaTone is awesome! I got it from a local health store. I think it’s available all over the place.
PS – I love your Gravator!
I’m so proud of you with all the mile you have logged preggo. You and @mommymomo rock my socks off!! XXOO Oh, and I”mjealous of the massage you got!!
Leah recently posted..I know- right! Me too
I definatly think its time for new weights for me im at 3 lbs still and can do alot of reps with those. gyms cost to much so im stuck at home.
good job with all your workouts keep up the good work
Thanks Lorrie!
Oh definitely! A set of 10lb free weights is far more affordable than a gym membership. Time to ditch those 3lb wts – your purse probably weighs more!
