Hi! Long time no blog, and my weight loss efforts have been...lacking. I'd like today to be a fresh start, with both diet AND exercise a focus.
I found this site that a friend uses, and I am joining up. If anyone is interested in adding me, I'm here!
I have at least been successful in small things - I'm finally eating breakfast every day, and I've developed an addiction to Weetabix with fresh fruit.
Goals for this week:
workout Monday and Thursday at Curves
drink more water!
Current Mood: determined

I am thinking about training for the 1/2 or full freescale. I am a VERY SLOW jogger. VERY SLOW.... and i am a beginner, and out of shape.

How is everyone doing this summer? Staying active, or partying a little too much like me? I've been lifting weights, 12 oz. at a time a little too frequently. Need some motivation!

Long time no post! Here's my update:
I joined Curves on November 29th. Had my measurements done last week, and here the news...
Bad- I didn't lose any weight in December
Good- I didn't GAIN any weight in December (HOLIDAY EATING!!)
Better- I lost 2.4% body fat, and 11.5 inches throughout my body, including 3 inches in my waist, 1 inch in my tummy, and 1.75 inches in my bust! Woohoo!!
This is the first time in my LIFE I've worked out three times a week, for the last five weeks. I feel great, and actually enjoy going. Instead of sitting on the couch watching "Friends" reruns, I go and work out. Much more productive!
What's different about Curves? Women only, fun and sociable atmosphere. No pretenses, old boyfriends to run into, just roll and go. When you join you basically agree to work out 3X/week for 30 minutes. I do the 3 circuits/37 minute routine, which has accelerated my fat loss and muscle toning. Note that although I changed my eating habits for a week or two, I have safely returned to introducing some of my favorite dishes into my diet.

I signed up for Beginner Boot Camp which starts next week. Called today and they still have openings! This 8 week training program is designed to take the beginner walker or runner & help them get to the point of comfortably running 3 miles. The Beginner Boot Camp program will consist of two coached workouts per week: one focusing on core strength & flexibility & the other focusing on extending the run. The participant will also receive a weekly training schedule that will be available for the entire week.
There are 2 levels in the workouts and weekly training schedule: beginner and advanced beginner. Beginners are defined as those currently walking and not running yet. Advanced beginners are defined as those already running, whether it be for 10 min or even those who are already at 3 miles.
The cost of this training program is $95 & there are 3 time/location options. See website for details.

Anyone here ever do Pilates? Do you like it? Did you see results?
I have been doing 20 minutes of Pilates a day since Sunday. I can't tell how I feel about it yet and wanted some opinions.

I fell off the South Beach Diet wagon- hard to do in Austin with Tex-Mex being a staple!
Good news is I seem to be getting into a little bit of a routine for exercise. A couple of the girls at work started a Yoga Lunch Bunch, which we do Tues and Thurs. Really helps out a lot, as both a stress relief and re-energizer! On Wed nite I have gotten back into the gym for Body Pump class. I need to go to the 10am Lincoln Village class on Sat mornings if I don't party too much on Friday nite. Sunday mornings are reserved for a 9am bike ride at the Veloway. Any interested parties?
