Healthy Mamas Goals

Thu Jan 10, 2013 5:06 pm

1. Weight Loss: We can choose how to monitor it and report it from clothing sizes to actually telling our weight.

2. Activity Minutes: We can track our activity (which includes housework) or steps walked or any other way you wish to express your activity

3. Personal Time: This is time where you take for yourself. It can be a little as 5 minutes. I believe this also helps with Healthy Mamas.

Please also put down why you want to do this.

1. Weight Loss: I would like to reach 140lbs. I am currently 230lbs. I will be starting Weight Watchers as I have many prepaid tickets left.

2. Activity: Goal is to walk 10,000 steps in a day. Will be starting that once I have been cleared for activity by my midwife.

3. Personal Time: Watch one of my favorite TV shows a day. When I am studying, spend time each day studying.

My goal is to get my black belt by November. and I need to lose weight to be able to pass the physical. As for personal time... that is to keep my sanity. :-)

I would like to get my weight between 125-130. I weigh 138 now.


2. Activity Minutes: We can track our activity (which includes housework) or steps walked or any other way you wish to express your activity... yesterday I went on a cleaning binge and did about 1.5 hours of cleaning. I also have been carrying around 2 car seats - that has to factor in somehow!

3. Personal Time: This is time where you take for yourself. It can be a little as 5 minutes. I believe this also helps with Healthy Mamas. I go out for a short drive and just listen to the radio for 20 min every day,

Please also put down why you want to do this. - count me in!

1. At 167lbs, I am minus 27 pounds from my pre-delivery weight, 7lbs from my pre-pregnancy (thank you breastfeeding) but would like to be in the 140-150lbs. Not back in my jeans yet.

2. Went on a 1h walk with baby in the stroller today. Seeing the Doc next week and will ask about going back to the gym.

3. It doesn't really feel like I have any me-time for now. DH watches baby for 30 min here and there so I can take a shower or eat, usually, but Damien is keeping me busy during the day.

1. Weight Loss: I am currently at 137 and would like to lose 20lbs. I am only 7lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight but was up 10 pounds prior to getting pg due to the fertility drugs. I can fit into a couple pairs of jeans but have lots of cuter ones that are still too small in the tummy area.

2. Activity Minutes: I took both kids for a walk last Friday and we did tons of hills. I was not technically cleared from my dr and did overdo it a bit that day. Now that I am past my 6 week check up I can do most anything but it has been way too cold to go out. Next week I plan to start my P90X or Insanity videos while dd is at school. I will be taking it a bit easier than I did before I was pg. I will also start running again when it is warmer.

3. Personal Time: I have been reading a really good book on my Nook. I try to take 30 minutes or so to read everyday while dh is doing things for Mason. I am trying to balance time with Payton though and since they are so far apart in age the things we do are really pretty separate for each child. Dh is also flying more trips that are overnight this month so my time is limited for "me time". As Mason is sleeping more regularly I think this will get better soon. I also go to the store or to run an easy errand when dh gets home so I can get out alone.

Please also put down why you want to do this. The weight loss is so I can get back into my clothes and feel better about how I look. I lost all the weight plus some so fast after Payton and really thought it wouldn't be different this time, but being 8.5 years older definitely makes a difference metabolism wise. Dh also wants to lose about 20lbs so being healthier together will be good for both of us.

I would like to get my weight between 180 and 200. That would make me a size 10/12ish I hold my weight very differently as Im big boned. I weigh 238 now size 16. When I had Marshall I was 259. I still have a little more than a week before Im cleared to exercise. I fit into my prepregnancy jeans but I want to keeep going, Im hoping breastfeeeding will aid in additonal weight loss


2. Activity Minutes: We can track our activity (which includes housework) or steps walked or any other way you wish to express your activity... I plan on walking atleast a mile a day once cleared while pushing the stroller. I also want to do low impact cardio and arobics.


3. Personal Time: This is time where you take for yourself. It can be a little as 5 minutes. I believe this also helps with Healthy Mamas. This time comes for me in the morning after dd gets on bus and Marshall does back down for a nap I watch my two shows a day or until he wakes up...lol

I need to buy a scale! I was 159 at my last weigh in about a week and half ago, so I have lost 20 pounds since I had my LO. I believe I've lost more. My goal is to fit back into my size 9's and be my normal weight somewhere around 140, I'm 5' 9.
(totally put my jeans on and could button them!! Yay! Although they are still too tight to wear in public. Gotta work on the whole muffin top!)

2. Activity Minutes: We can track our activity (which includes housework) or steps walked or any other way you wish to express your activity

My girl is only 3 weeks so I haven't been cleared. I want to do some pilates although to be honest I've never had to work out before, and I can't imagine how I'm going to find the time! She hates being put down for very long and I've definately spoiled her!


3. Personal Time:

Um... how many of us are getting personal time? Although I do feel lucky that my fiance lets me take a shower every day, and it's the best thing I could really ask for!
