So if you are new to Mamas Spot, I started a Mamas challenge a few months back that you can read about here.

I am attempting to lose all of the so called "baby weight" (and then some) So this last week I really feel like I am getting into a good routine

with my workouts and I have started to cut back on chocolate and other sweets. I have been doing a lot of bike riding with my husband which has been great!

This last week I also signed up for Jillian Michaels weigh loss program!

Now normally I'm not a sucker for different workout programs, but I really love her videos and I do believe she is legit and I already feel like this program is really helping!

The fitness videos have been really great and you can create menus and shopping lists! I love how customized everything is to my body type.

Sorry to sound like an infomercial, when I like something I get really excited about it!

So if you want to see what it's like you can go here to get a free 7 day trial!  It's definitely worth trying it out and seeing what you think!

Giveaway Time!

So I have really dropped the ball on Workout Wednesday and the Mamas Challenge!

I think I really started to become let down by my progress and apparently ignoring everything weight loss related was my short term solution.

I know it is important for me to do these post, so I will make sure I keep it up from now on.

My progress so far has been pretty pathetic! I have lost 2 pounds, yippee! (I'm being sarcastic) We now are going into June and I'm not doing to well.

I do have hope, I have started bike riding with my husband and I really enjoy it and it's also a good workout.

The days have started getting warmer in my neck of the woods, which makes it a lot nicer to go outside and get some exercise.

So I am going to try to put everything I have into working out and eating right this month and hopefully June will be better than May was.

Onto one of the better parts of workout Wednesday... Our giveaway!

Sorry I'm posting this so late! Still sick, I just can't shake this cold. Needless to say I haven't been working out the past week. I have been keeping track of my calories and trying to eat better so hopefully I will get rid of this sinus pressure and start working out soon!

I'm so excited to say we have a winner of the JuggleFit DVD and scarves! Our winner is:

Alicia Wiley Forry

"My favorite workout is bodycombat or kickboxing. (I seem to like the fighting type exercise.. LOL!) but am open to new things.

I'm also a group facilitator for a local weight loss group and think this would be a GREAT video to share with them."

I need the winner to contact me here in the next 24 hours or I will have to move onto the next person!

Thank you to everyone who entered!

If you are new to Mamas Spot I started Mamas Challenge a few weeks ago and I do a post every Wednesday (Workout Wednesday) updating everyone on my progress. 

So I don't even want to get into my food choices for the past week (not good) and we have had on and off bad weather, so I haven't been walking as much.

I went and played tennis today so that's at least 300 calories for today.

So I'm just going to skip to the giveaway this week! I recently came across this video (juggleFit) for losing weight while juggling which at first I kind of just laughed at. I thought "how do you get a workout juggling?"

But you can actually burn up to 280 calories an hour! I have to admit I can't juggle at all! My husband has been able to for over two years now.

He's one of those lucky people who decides he want to learn something and he almost instantly does! He taught himself to juggle in under an hour!

I have been trying off and on for over two years and I still don't have it down! I always thought it was kind of a pointless skill but it has entertained our kids a lot. (helps when they are melting down)

So I watched and tried juggle fit and it's kind of cool! You definitely don't feel like you are working out. If you are looking for an interesting easy way to work out this would be great for you!

Here are some other added bonuses of JuggleFit:

Sharpens Focus and Concentration

Relieves Stress

Improves Coordination

Juggling maintains and increases range of motion in the arms and shoulders

You can juggle where you are, no travel required

portable workout

It doesn't feel like exercise

And it entertains the whole family! I was shocked at how much this will calm my daughter when sh is having a fit!

And now you can win a copy of JuggleFit for yourself!

Heather Wolf the creator of JuggleFit has provided me with one copy of JuggleFit for beginners that includes juggling scarves for one of my readers!

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on the Mamas Spot facebook page here with your favorite way to workout. This giveaway will end Wednesday, May 11th at 8:00PM MST.

Disclosure: I was given one DVD to do this review and giveaway on. All opinions are my own.

Ugh!!!! This shouldn't be so difficult! Needless to say I'm not making a whole lot of progress in April. I am having such a hard time with food! I feel like I am running around making sure that the kids eat healthy.  However, I feel as if I only have time to eat snacks and junk food.  I just grab what I can and the quickest options are usually junk food.

Of course Easter didn't help by any means! We celebrated Easter and my Grandma's Birthday this past weekend which equaled a 1/2 Sheet Chocolate Cake, chocolate covered everything, mashed potatoes, bread with tons of butter and deviled eggs! (On a side note: should they really be called deviled eggs on Easter?) lol

Anyway... I have been working out off and on. We are still getting snow! So it hasn't been possible to take the kids out walking everyday.

On nice days my husband has been riding his bike along with us, which has been great! It is obviously so much easier working out with someone else. It definitely makes me want to workout more when he comes along.

If you have a workout buddy, hold onto them!

I am hoping that I will actually start seeing some progress in May. Unfortunately, we have quite a few birthdays in May including my own and my little boy, who is turning one!

I don't have a scale, but I do have a Wii Fit so I am going to start weighing myself every week to help me keep track of my progress, which in hindsight I should have been doing all along. Hopefully I can lose around 10 pounds in May.

I will be ending the "Workout Wednesday Giveaway" tonight at 12:00AM MST and announcing the winner of the Zumba Fitness for Wii tomorrow morning around 10:00AM MST.

If I am ever off on my giveaway times I apologize! Unfortunately it's hard to estimate a time when you have two little ones needing their Mama at any moment.

Free Week of Zumba Classes!

I also wanted to let everyone know about this great deal! Even if you don't win the Zumba Fitness, Curves is offering a one week free trial of Zumba Classes! As soon as I saw this deal I signed up! 

Even if you have a set workout routine, sometimes it's nice to try something different. I will let you know how it goes!

You can also sign up here. You won't be asked for any Credit Card info or even mailing address, just your basic info. If you do sign up I would love to hear what you think of it!

I have never been to Curves before, so it will be a new experience.
