Mama Mojo.
Have you seen yours lately?
You know what I'm talking about. Your sparkle. Your zing. Your zazzle. Your pizazz.
I haven't seen mine lately. I'm pretty sure I know where it is, though. I think I left it at the bottom of too many empty ice cream buckets.
Truthfully, it's been missing for quite some time. My zip, my drive, my spunk, my energy...my self...they're still there, somewhere. I can feel them trying to get out from time to time. But overall? Overall I've become dull. I'm not shiny anymore. I want that back. I really really do!
A huge part of the problem for me (and I suspect for some of you as well) is that I am not happy with myself. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, to be honest. If I can't do something right the first time, I tend to give up. If it isn't going to be done well, I'm just not going to do it. I haven't been happy with the way I look, the way I feel, the way I clean, the way I... You name it, I'm probably frustrated about it!
Lately (and by lately I mean for the past 5 or 6 years) there have been a lot of "imperfections" in my life. Incidentally, that time roughly corresponds to the length of time I've been a Mama. Now, I'm not saying my kids are imperfections by any means! Quite the contrary. God has created some pretty amazing little humans for me to grow! But life circumstances have been challenging over those 5 of 6 years, and I tend to be a stress eater.
I was recently contacted by Jennifer McCay, the founder and weight loss trainer of Lean Green Mama. Jennifer has recently published videos 1 and 2 of a FREE 4-video series on healthy weight loss called "Get Back Your Mama Mojo and Lose the Weight for Life!" Here's her first video: Success Factors! If you're like me and haven't seen your own Mama Mojo in a while, I encourage you to check out the videos. As I mentioned, videos 1 and 2 have been published. They're great! There are tons of great tips and ideas in each of the videos. You'll want to be prepared with a pen and paper, and (if you're like me!) a video for the kids and a set of earphones for yourself, so that you can have 30-45 minutes of hopefully uninterrupted time to watch the videos. They're worth the time, though! I've picked up and used some of the tips already!
You know what I think my favorite thing is, so far, that Jennifer has said in the Lean Green Mama videos? She told me it's okay if I'm not "perfect" at it. In fact, she understands that I won't be, and that's okay! Even that is a huge encouragement for someone like me!
I'm super excited to tell you about the Lean Green Mama program that's getting ready to start: 6 Weeks to a LeanGreenYOU! I have to admit, I don't know much about it. I know that it's going to be awesome! I know that it'll be a 6 week program that includes a combination of videos and live phone chats. I know that if it's anything like the video series, it'll be full of amazing ideas to help you regain your mojo! (I'm pretty sure you won't find it at the bottom of an ice cream tub...but I'm hoping she'll let me have just a little dish every now and then!) This 6 week program kicks off on June 8th! You'll want to read about it on the site, Lean Green Mama, and get connected through her free resources that are already available!
Jennifer from Lean Green Mama would like to send one of you on the 6 week journey with me! Who's ready? Anyone?!? This program is a $497 value, and she'd like to GIVE it to one of you! Isn't that awesome?? I'd like to have the support of one of you on the journey as well. We can do it together!

I would be a good candidate because after having 3 kids in 3 and a half years I have gained 70 lbs and need help to lose it.

I lost my Mama Mojo when I was pregnant with my 1st. Working full time and going to school full time plus being pregnant left me unmotivated and tired
