So, 2013 is the year for me to become healthier. I am doing things that I had never though about before. So, I am not only losing weight, but I am changing the way I do things. I am exercising, I am eating healthier and I am involving my family on the changes. I am challenging myself to try new things and do more fun things. So when I heard about the color me rad 5k, I was very interested. Not only this is going to be my first official 5k, but also it is going to be a really fun one. In this race, you start the day with a white t-shirt and end up all full of color. It is for all ages, so I am motivating my son to race with me. It is a very fun way to get active I will be doing the one in Los Angeles on 05/15/13, but you can check the website to see if there are races near your hometown. Not only the races are fun but they sponsor a local non-profit organization as well. In California this year they are donating to the Special Olympics of Southern California. Disclosure: i was provided with a free ticket for the race, but all opinions are my own.
This week I have been so busy. My son's birthday party, work, pretty much life. I was proud at the party I did not have cake and eat the salad I had made. The party was really fun. My son was sick but he still enjoyed it. The cool thing about the party is that it was full of running and physical activity and not only the kids but the parents participating. Talk about changing our live style. Happy to tell you that this week I lost 3.8 pounds for a total of 28.5 since starting the challenge. I want to remind you about the twitter party where you can win the awesome tools that I got to help me with this challenge Who: Omron Fitness & Mamavation When: Wednesday, February 20th Time: 8-10pm EST (5-7pm PST) Hashtag: #iheartOmron Theme: Workout SMARTER instead of longer Giveaways during the party HR-500U Heart rate monitor retails for $149.99 (2 winners) HJ-323U Connected pedometer retails at $49.99 (2 winners) 510W scale retails for $79.99 (2 winners) To RSVP for the party and more information visit Mamavation Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Omron Fitness as a collaboration with Bookieboo Blogging Network and Mamavation – a community dedicated to weight loss for women and obesity prevention for families.

This challenge has been so great and I am so proud of all the ladies that are doing it with me. I think most of us have been sick, so it has been hard, but we are still going strong and that makes me very happy. I have been walking every day and I am reaching my goal of at least 10,000 steps a day. I am tracking my steps using my Omron Fitness Tri-Axis USB Pedometer (HJ-323U). I love this pedometer because it does so much more than tell me how many steps do I have each day. The Pedometer keeps track of aerobic steps, steps per minute, and even the calories burned. At the end of the day I connect the pedometer using the USB to my computer and it uploads all the information to Omronfitness.com and there in the dashboard you can see your daily and weekly progress and even challenge yourself to achieve a best personal step count. This pedometer is very accurate and counts strides, so you will not get false readings while riding in a bumpy car. I am also very happy with my new Omron 510W Scale. I love that the scale can measure not only the BMI, but also the body fat percentage, the visceral fat and the skeletal muscle percentage. As for my progress on the scale, I lost 5 pounds this week for a total of 20 pounds since starting this challenge I can tell you it feels great to put on your clothes and they are loose on me. But the best part is when I see people and they tell me I look great and they can tell I am losing the weight and getting healthier. For this week my goal is to continue walking and drink more water. I sometimes get really busy at work and forget to drink as much water as I want to. We are also going to be modifying our workouts and so you can follow along by downloading the PFD file. I will be extra busy for the next couple of weeks, I am going to be preparing everything for my son’s birthday party, but I will find that time to work out, because I can see the results now. How are you staying active?

Week 1 is done and I started very strong and ended slow because I got sick. I am having a lot of fun with the challenge and besides the workouts I am still walking after work. It takes lots of will power to complete a challenge like this one. I have to get up earlier than normal to complete the workouts designed by the awesome @mrbookieboo and then I go to work. Then I come home, revise my son's homework and out to the street I go again to walk. I have to thank my husband for his help with the chores in the house. I think that he is happy that I am losing the weight, so he has been helping with dishes, dinner and small things. That allows me more time to go out on my walks. Towards the end of the week I found myself feeling really weak and without energy. I got sick. I was diagnosed with pneumonia and it hurts when I breath. So I had to slow down and rest. I did modified versions of the workouts however I did not go for my walk. It is kind of funny because before I used to hate to workout and now I miss my walks, but I had to take some time to recover to finish this great opportunity strong. Today I can say I feel much better and I think I am ready to back to almost normal. I am happy to report that I lost 5 pounds this week for a total of 15 pounds since applying to be an #IheartOmron ambassador. For this week I want to get creative with my meals and I want to get back into the routine of walking and doing the workouts. I am also challenging myself to drink more water.
