Still trying....

I keep attempting to get to yoga...but nothing seems to give and my motivation is lacking with all the work/career, wedding, kids, life stress I am experiencing right now.  I need a vacation and I know yoga would help me relax.....

Please help me to get there!!

Falling off the wagon and still getting results!

So my yoga routine has laspsed.....not more than a class or two a week for the last month, however, my eating habits have stayed roughly the same.  My blogging time has decreased significantly, but I am keeping better mental note of what I am eating and the choices I am making.  I started doing some short (20 minute) yoga sessions at home and toning in my spare moments.

Last week, after years of them being too tight, I slipped into my lucky interview pants (results still pending) and I can feel that other items are fitting differently as well.  I looked at myself naked in the mirror this weekend and I was convinced something more had changed : )

I got out the tape measure this morning, and in fact there was a change!

Chest: 49-50 "  *same

Waist : 41" *down .75

Muffin Top: 42"  *down 1.5

Hips: 52" *same

Thigh: 28" *down .5

Bicep: 15" *down .5

*total inches lost since last check (1/16/12)

3.5 inches

For a total lost of 10.25 inches overall!!!

Our wedding is 33 days away, with my future mother in law coming to stay with us for the next month I am hoping to find more time for yoga and some special date nights with my future husband : )  He has been such great support in this process and I truly appreciate all he does!

We are discussing doing a "Juice" fast together....watch the documentary "Fat, Sick and almost Dead"...inspiring!

I still plan to train for my first 5k!

Here's to not giving up, even when life doesn't let you have your routine!

Falling off the wagon!

I fell off the wagon, my 2+ months of yoga and a healthier diet, well it didn't completely stop....but my blogging did.  My daughter got sick for almost 3 weeks, the lack of sleep on all  of us drastically changed our routine.  I have only been getting to yoga 2-3 times a week...I have also added pilates and zumba at least once a week.  My water intake is down, my coffee intake is up.  My eating habits have remained pretty much the same, just haven't been journaled in almost a month.

I am trying to be flexible and continue to use what I know to get me by, trying to keep off the inches and lbs I lost and continue to lose.

I am planning a juice fast after our wedding : )
