On a roll now!

Literally, rolling along on my pilates ball. Hahaha.

The last two days have been very successful NSV. I've woken up at 4:45 am to start a 25-40 minute pilates workout. It actually quite soothing to just have the 45 minutes to myself. No stress, no worries. I'm progressing quite well - I'm now able to do some more advanced techniques. I can't wait to go back to class next week and show how far I have come!!

I realized in my goal setting that I didn't set anything for a 5lb loss. I desperately needed a hair cut anyway, so I booked an appointment at a new salon. Oh my goodness. It was the girlie pampering I needed. Neck massage, hair cut and makeup touch up - all inclusive. My hair smells and feels great, I am completely relaxed and I am two points under for the day.

So, til next time, keep reaching for your dreams.

Overcoming the odds!

I think that anyone who can coast through the holidays without overindulging shows amazing will power.

I never thought I could be one of those people!!

After a slight scale mishap this morning, I weighed in with a 1.2 lb loss. A loss?! After 3 days of Christmas goodies with a chaser of Pepto Bismol, I was almost certain I was in for a setback.

But even the smallest loss is a success. However, I received a little boost of inspiration while reading the WW boards today.

While reading through this WW member's milestones, I realized how vital exercising will be toward reaching this goal. If I can get to the gym 3-5 times a week, I can speed this process up significantly. Additionally, with the exercise I can reduce the chance of flabby skin, etc.

Gotta run, get back to cleaning the apartment.

So, til next time, keep reaching for your dreams.

Detoxify!

Merry Christmas, and pass the Pepto!

From Christmas Eve to last night, I've been enjoying the savory and sweet flavors of the season. But after being very OP for the last two weeks, it literally made my sick! I am so incredibly thankful for everyone's hard work to create such decadent dishes, but I am also thankful for a day where I can just eat soup, fruit and other organic items.

WI tomorrow is going to be iffy - I think the three day deviation will set me back a little. In addition to choosing Rock Band 2 over pilates might have something to do with it as well. Oh well.

I just need to remember that this is NOT the end of the world, and this does not make me less of a person. This is a long journey, so its important to keep moving forward.

I hope you all had a WONDERFUL holiday!

So, til next time, keep reaching for your dreams.
