Sorry it's late. We just got our internet back up and running. :P

Motivation Monday

Welcome to Motivation Monday! I will be chronicling my journey back to a healthy body, mind, and spirit. Each week I will discuss how the previous week was and set some goals for the next week. I will also be listing my progress. If you would like to see past progress you can look in my archives for other Motivation Monday posts. If you would like to get motivated with me please link up your post using the link form below. Your post can be in any format you want. Whether you are trying to get healthier physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually or if you just have a task you need some motivation to complete...please link up so we can help support each other. I would love to hear about your progress and help keep you motivated!

Hot 100 Update Week 1

Here are my goals for a quick reminder:

Lose 15 lbs
List 15 items in my new Etsy shop
Completely clean and decorate the Living room, Kitchen, Craft room and Nursery

How did I do last week?

I lost 0.9lbs. I'd say that's close enough! 1lb lost - Check
I have not listed anything in the Etsy shop yet... BUT I do have 4 crafts and 1 vintage item ready to post! I need to get some nice photos of them and then get them uploaded. - Dash? In Progress
I did not get anything completely cleaned and decorate this week... however, I have decided my first room to tackle will be the living room. I did do a cleaning overhaul for the house last Saturday before our guests arrived so I am in a good position to de-clutter and decorate next week. - In Progress

How did you do with your goals this week?

Friday Fun!

It's time for Friday Fun! That means it's time for Friday Party Hop! I hope you'll join me this week for some blog, twitter, and facebook hopping fun!

There are only a couple rules for this party. You don't even have to follow me unless you want to. I'd rather have a few active readers because they enjoy my blog than have you feel obligated to follow me. It isn't a rule... but I would love if you grabbed my button so others could find us and link up.

The Rules:

1) Link up your blog, twitter, or facebook... all social networks are welcome here in fact

{Non-bloggers may need to upload photos from their computer or other site}

2) Hop around and follow whomever you want. No pressure to follow here.

3) Have fun meeting new people!

Won't You Join Me?
I host a weekly meme called Motivation Monday. You can link up anything you need motivation and encouragement to finish: getting healthy, a craft project, your homework! lol

If you are new here, Welcome! I am Jeannette.

Here at A Hippo With A Headband you will find a chronicle of my journey to a healthier me. At my heaviest, while pregnant I was 270lbs and suffered from gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. I had been losing weight slowly before I became pregnant, but now I know what lays ahead of me if I don't step up my game! I am seeking to be healthy for myself, my husband, and our children {we plan to have a couple more one day :0P}.

Under my header you can see my weekly weight loss progress. If you look at my sidebar, you can find my inspirations and a scrolling marque of my weight loss in photos. In the footer is a chart showing my progress overtime {running data from the ticker above}.

Here are some posts to get you started:

Is My BC Making Me Fat?

Big Changes in the Works

If you are an old friend, welcome back love! I am so glad to see you again. Are you ready to jazzersize? Or you know... whatever. Just get movin'! Maybe zumba, yoga, carry a 19lb baby around? Anything to get that blood pumpin' and your body sweatin'!

Now put on those headbands and let's get started!
