This is my Mamavation post for Monday, July 26, 2010.
Hey everyone!
Sorry for being MIA last week. I spent last weekend at a cottage and with all the sun and fun I ended up catching a killer cold that knocked my already tired pregnant butt for a loop. I also was treated to dinner & a movie (Eclipse) by my best friend on Wed as a belated b-day gift, and my other best friend took me to a concert at Fallsview Casino this Saturday. I have some great friends 
Despite feeling sick & being super busy, I did manage to workout 4 days:
Mon – Boot camp fitness class
Tues – ran 6K
Wed – ran/walk 6K (ran 3.5k then walked due to heat)
Thurs – walked 3k with hand weights
Fri – does an hour of power shopping count as exercise?
A pic from the cottage: My friend
While my working out was awesome, my eating sucked. I felt so tired that I resorted to making poor food choices (including a two-hour visit to a buffet on Saturday). I bet my cold would have disappeared faster if I had eaten healthier…
This week life is back to normal – no girls nights out, no cottage visits etc, so I hope to be back on track (and back on Twitter). Hubby even stocked us up on veggies for this week
Here’s my workout plans for the week:
Monday: Work out with my awesome trainer at lunch
Tuesday: 5K walk/run around the park on my lunch
Wednesday: Work out with my awesome trainer at lunch
Thursday: 5K walk/run around the park on my lunch
Friday: 5K walk/run around the park on my lunch
Saturday: Rest day
Sunday: Kick the family out of the house so I can spend 2-3 hours cleaning…
Every week brings new obstacles – success depends on how you face those obstacles, right?
Congrats to Rita Ann (aka @lovelyritaann) on being Mamavation Sista of the Week
Slow down woman! You’re making the rest of us look really bad!!
When you do your 5K walk/run what are your intervals?

10:1 – I run 10 min, then walk 1 min.
Thanks for stopping by!
All the best,
Janice
Glad you’re feeling better! I have a cold right now and it totally sucks.
Have a great week. Your schedule is awesome with the workouts. Good luck with better food choices this week, it can be hard when preggo. Glad you are over your cold. You are right about the vicious cycle or delayed healing with eating poorly when you are sick.

Wow. Great job on all that activity, woman!
I saw your tip of the day, and for me, using some of my calories on what I drink works for me. I have let go of a lot of vices in order to get healthy. Lots of them. But still love a coffee drink with a little bit of sugar, or a glass of wine, or something made with my juicer. I really enjoy liquids, and waste too much time focused on the deprivation if I try to cut them out completely. To each his own I suppose!

I have the kid that looks all young and cute but is actually older than her sister who looks almost a year older than she is LOL
Congrats on your amazing cottage vaca – sorry about the illness – and YES power shopping does count. My best day on my Gruve was the day I went shopping for 7 hours for running shoes, workout capris and (heaven help the big boobed gal on the treadmill) sports bras. Burned a LOT of calories.
OK honestly Janice you are the cutest pregnant women ever! Also I count your friday as exersing I mean holding those bags can be tough!
You are such a cutie little preggo mama! You are truly inspirational for staying so active while pregnant!
Girl you amaze me! And don’t you dare worry about having a bit of fun. If that were me I would’ve spent six hours in the buffet! You’re rocking as always and I’m glad you’re feeling better!

So hard to make good food choices with all those events and celebrations! But you made awesome workout choices. You’re always inspiring!
Summer colds are not fun.
WORST time to be sick — on TOP of being pregnant, even. You DO have some awesome friends AND and awesome trainer. I’m JEALOUS.
Have a great week! You are amazing keeping up with all those workouts while being pg!

You’re my hero! Pregnant and getting those kinds of work outs in. I’m in awe! Maybe if I had worked out while pregnant, then I wouldn’t be spending an entire year trying to get it off!

I love your quote!! “Every week brings new obstacles – success depends on how you face those obstacles!” I tweeted it out and cc’d you!
You are SUCH an inspiration to me (and others) Thank you for ‘cheering’ me on throughout my journey… and I enjoy following yours!

Wow!! I wish I would have been as active while I was pregnant. I was very misinformed nutriton and activity-wise during both pregnancies. But way to go! And I am so envious of your veggie stocking hubby. Mine turns his nose up while we are in the produce section! :-S lol
