An Official #Mamavation Graduate

Never miss an update by Liking Carrigan's Joy on Facebook! 

After finishing my Mamavation 5K yesterday, I have official joined the ranks of the Mamavation Graduates. It was seriously an amazing campaign. Within 7 short weeks I gained enormous information in regards to nutrition and fitness. I now shop differently by reading labels and educating myself on the benefits of different foods, as well as understanding the importants of every single substance I bring into my home.

I have also made some wonderful friendships that will continue to grow along this journey. And...I removed 4 pounds and 13.5 inches!!!!! That, my friends, is the beginning of a body transformation!!!

Overall, I'm walking away as a new woman, an empowered woman, realizing that all the changes that I made along the way were my doing. Mamavation certainly educated me and planted the seeds of change, but it was my follow through that has lead to this success. :)

So many new beginnings to look forward to and so many new changes. I am more than grateful for the opportunity I've been given. If you would like to change your life, check out Mamavation.com and join the adventure!

Cleaning with Mamavation

Never miss an update by Liking Carrigan's Joy on Facebook!      

I can't believe we are already to week 4 in our Boot Camp.

 

How is it going you ask? GREAT!

 

I am amazed by how my body is changing and each week I gather new information about how to better my life as well as those around me.

 

As a parent, I'm always concerned about the cleanliness of my home, and yet, I'm also very aware of the hazards of dangerous chemicals. So, it's not surprising that to better our health, we not only need to look at food and fitness but toxic free living as well.

So recently I set out to switch over to some less toxic personal care and cleaning products. Below is my list of currently purchased items and their use in my home:

Bathroom:
Tom's Whole Care with fluoride toothpaste
Tom's Children's toothpaste
Tom's Mouthwash

Burt's Bees Natural Skin Care for Men Deodorant for my husband and preteen
EO Organic Deodorant
Primal Pit Paste deodorant
Baking Soda (This is what I'm currently only using and I LOVE it!)

Sweet Almond Skin Care Oil replacing all body lotions
Everyone Soap for shampoo and body soap (I will replace this brand once it's used, there were some ingredients I want to now avoid)

Kitchen:
Earth Friendly Products Dishmate liquid soap for my kitchen sink
Earth Friendly Products Wave for my dishwasher

 

 

And don't forget to join Leah and the Mamavation Moms as we chat with the experts on Cleaning Your Home without Toxic Chemicals. You can RSVP to the Google Hangout, chat live during the show, and become an educated consumer when it comes to cleaning and the products you can trust.  Enjoy the show and make sure to cheer on the Mamavation Moms as we endure yet another wonderful week of hazing and educating!

Mamavation Detox and Weight Loss Boot Camp January Campaign

Never miss an update by Liking Carrigan's Joy on Facebook!  

Hidy-Ho, Folks! I hope you all have had a wonderful Holiday and are looking forward to a new year, with new hope and excitement. I know I am! And to kick it all off, I've applied for the Mamavation Detox and Weight Loss Boot Camp. Yep, that's right, I'm entrusting this mind and body to the good people over at Mamavation.

 

Hazing has begun and even though my body shakes and drips with sweat, I feel strong. I've always enjoyed a challenge but even more so simply completely the challenge. It's that old runner's saying, "on your first race, just enjoy the accomplishment of finishing. Don't ever worry about the time, that can come later, just bask in the simple act of doing...." And that's what I'm concentrating on here.

There will only be three women chosen during this campaign and yet, I want to focus more on the journey and the friendships that I hope to build, rather than on that one decision. In my mind, we are all a part of the Mamavation Family, with every little burpee, encouragement, and drip of sweat we enjoy. So, join me on my journey, sweat along side with me, and we'll bask in simple act of doing....
