Last night I went to my very first official Yoga class, while at the gym, it still was a really nice experience and much more interactive than the DVD’s that I’ve been doing at home for years. It was a really generic Hatha class with most poses being familiar. Plus I actually had to give Four-Limbed Staff Pose - Chaturanga Dandasana full chance since I was in public and what not. Out of all the poses, that one and Prayer Twist - Namaskar Parsvakonasana gave me some strength and balance challenges, so those are the two poses that I hope to get stronger at. My second class is thursday!
Staci got some fitflops people!! I tried them on, and they were actually pretty comfortable, although I didn’t do anything fit-ness-esque in them. Staci said that they came with a distinct warning that one should ‘gradually wear them’ to build up your muscles - lol. I might actually get some - I could wear them when I take Cha for his daily walks!
Let me be honest with you…I’ve been eating like a heifer. I’ve been dating this guy who believes I should gain some weight and indeed, I have. My goal over the next 6 weeks is to lose five pounds. Rarely, do I disclose my weight but I need to be perfectly honest with myself and you.
As of today 7-27-08, I stand at 5 feet 4 inches and 130 pounds…ewww!! Starting tomorrow morning I plan to keep a food diary over the next 6 weeks and commit to at least 300 minutes of exercise per week. As per “The Devil wears Prada” a size 4 is the new 6!! I gotta get this bum to shrink, if I’m going to stay in a size 4 anything bigger is unacceptable for this diva.
Every week, over the course of the next six weeks of my healthy journey…I’m going to participate in a new physical activity. This week Bikrham Yoga. I will post weekly weight updates and maybe measurements. Wish me luck and join me on my journey to a healthy lifestyle.
Ok people, get ready for Renee B. to be joining our forces. She’s a size 4, fabulous, bitchy and just our flavor. She’s notified me that the fitness section here on Spa-View is lacking (did I mention I’m battlerocking these last 15 lbs to goal weight by making excuses to not work out?) Anyyyyway, welcome Renee - let’s rock it! I’m gonna go do a set of crunches now, in your honor and to the betterment of my soon to be liposuctioned waist.
I am SO going to get a pair of these FitFlops they aren’t quite as horrible looking as the previous ‘get a workout while you walk’ shoe, but I don’t know how well they work either. Keep you posted.
It’s time to start your training girls! Team Spa-View will be walking for the cure this September!
Stay tuned for more info - I’ve been slammed with work so I haven’t had much time to update, but believe you me, I got lots to say!
If you’re interested in joining our team, or sponsoring us, or walking somehow, someway you can either contact me via email or log on to AvonWalk.org for more info.
How exciting can 2008 get? I’ll tell you how - Susan Powter is IN Tha House! Remember the Stop the Insanity infomercials back in the early 90’s? I totally do, I got in tip top shape, bought a red and white striped tube top and Rocked the House!
We all need a bit of help getting the extra pounds off after 30 (and if you don’t, then f* off) and after tons of various diets that did work but tired me out after a few months and only loosing under 20 lbs, I decided to try Jenny Craig last month on a whim. I am SO excited to report that I have officially lost 16 lbs in exactly 1 month! My counselor keeps telling me not to get so excited about the steady drop in weight because usually people typically loose approximately 1-2 lbs per week, but HOWDY HO - this month, I AM THE ONE sporting the ‘Results Not Typical’ label. WOO Ha!
I can’t wait until my liposuction birthday present with Dr. Marks to finally fix the c-section baby blubber that I have been fighting for 16 years. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, and boy oh boy, it has been a long winded one.
I got this message on myspace and thought it a fabulous idea, so share and share alike!
