I could have a million excuses for this week but I am not gonna bore you with the why and hows. I gained 1/2 a pound. I am not worried about it because I know that it is temporary and I know I ate well. I planned for not working out this week and made sure I was making good food choices since I knew getting to the gym was going to be tough. This week will be back in full workout mode so I am confident that 1/2 pound will be gone again soon.
Speaking of working out, I am SUPER excited about our special guest this week and blogging carnival is sponsor, Katy Bowman, and her Aligned and Well series. I have been very interested in body mechanics since college when a friend was double majoring in Nutrition (same as me) and Kineseology. If I hadn't been 2 semesters away from graduation and already had one kiddo I might have considered doing the double major too. She and I talked a lot about her major and I was (and still am) fascinated by the subject. I have been checking out Katy Bowman's website this weekend and I am very interested in what I see. I can't wait to check it out more. I am hoping to learn more about how to improve my running technique and learn how to help my over-pronated step and knee problems as well.
I also want to give a big shout out to Rita, for being Sista of the Week. The poor girl struggled after having her car stolen. I hope this honor brightened her week and put a smile on her face. Keep up the good work and keep your chin up sweetie!
I hope everyone is ready for a great week. I am!! If it starts out crappy remember that you are the only person who can change it, so make it a good week. :D

Julie, that is cool. I did not know about your nutrition background. There are a few of us super excited about a biomechanics expert on tonight's show. You rock for planning ahead and knowing your week would not be great workout-wise. I look forward to next week's post.
Yep Kia I have a Bs in Nutrition and Dietetics, just a few steps from being a RD but I haven't pursued that because I got busy being a mommy. :D
Well for gaining .5 a pound you have a fantastic attitude! Good luck this week.
wow you are great I mean when i have a weight gain I am always down! Thank you for being an nspiration!
That's amazing that you have such a great nutrition background. I know Kia already said it but I'm just echoing because I think it must be amazing to know what's what when it comes to what you're supposed to be eating. I should be snacking right now but want to get through the Mamavation posts. Why can't food just come in pill form? LOL That would be SO awesome.
Shake off that little gain Jules. You know how to get rid of it. Lets concentrate on the "now" and keep moving forward! ;) You can do this!
Sounds like great planning to me! Keep up the good work and don't get down over 1/2 lb!
Sounds like you are very knowledgeable and in control! Are you going to be going back to school so you can become an RD? I think it'd be worth it!
You have such an awesome attitude. Most people beat themselves up over an "off" week and gaining 1/2 pound.
VBS can throw anyone off of their schedule. Done it before and I almost went crazy. Found that teaching was not my forte, so I would help with the food hehe
Have a great week
I KNOW that you will push through that 1/2 lb next week!! You can do it! Have a great week!
Good luck this week!!
Oh, we both had a 1/2 lb gain ... but we'll kick that off lickety-split!!
Wow Julie - are you interested in writing a guest post for my site about nutrition, maybe common mistakes people make when "dieting"?
Well let's see it's Wednesday and I'm just now getting to your post so I can say I bet you've already blasted that half pound back where it belongs. :) Way to go on your attitude!
I am inspired by you VBSers! lol I can handle my own kids and that is about it. Good job for planning ahead, and I cant wait to check in on ya next week! :)
