Yoga today kicked my butt! I don't know if it's because I only gor about 2 hours of sleep last night, or if it is because yesterday was arms workout day and I really pushed myself. Whatever the reason, I couldn't do very much of it today. I got through about 1/2 an hour of the DVD but I had to take 2 breaks and actually walk away for 10 minutes in order to do the 1/2 hours worth of working out. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
On a positive note, my arms feel great from yesterday. They are tight, but I am not in extreme pain and my girlies said that they can "see my big muscles" so that was great to hear! I guess this is working, even though I am not even close to doing every move all of the time on the DVD's. At least I am getting better and that is good!

Y-O-G-A
Yoga, Y-O-G-A, Yoga!
That was today. . . . . and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I am excited to say that today is my one weekaversary! I haven't cheated on my nutrition plan and I have been able to do my exercises every day, except for last Saturday.
The trick will be this weekend, I think. I am headed to my Brother and Sister-in-Law's house for the weekend and so I will have no control over what we eat and I won't be able to work out. I think that maybe I will convince Lisa that we should go on a power walk or something so I can at least do some sort of workout while I am away.
Can I say that I am loving this?
I am!
I am starting to feel everything tighten again. I am really glad that I have taken this on as my goal and that it is going so well. I feel like an uncoordinated, unflexable slob a lot of the time, but today there was a definite improvement in my abilities after only one week and I have already seen the results in my weightloss and I have lost 1" off of my waist and thighs, so I am really motivated to continue going on with this program.
My sister, Amanda, keeps telling me that with this program I will somehow find the energy that I have been lacking, and she is RIGHT! I hope she reads this because she should frame that last sentence :) I have lots more energy and I have only had to take a nap once this week (I usually have to have one every day) which is awesome!
So, wish me luck this weekend. . . . I am going to need it to stay strong!

It Starts!!!
So it has finally happened! I have finally started this program! I know . . . . you have all fallen off of your chairs at the news, but I did it! So now, in 90 days I should be one hot Mama!
I woke up all ready to get going with the nutrition plan and the fitness plan! I got my stuff done this morning so that I could start working out this afternoon. . . . and then BAM!!!!! I was hit with a reality check! Actually, I was hit with a couple of reality checks. . . . . wanna know what they are so you can feel better about yourselves???
1 - This "nutrition" plan actually calls for a LOT more food than I am used to eating. . . . I am going to have to find a way to pare it all down or else I think that I won't get the results that I am seeking!
2 - I accidentally bought CHOCOLATE protein powder instead of unflavored and that normally wouldn't be a problem except that I didn't notice it until I had opened the HUGE Costco sized container of the stuff and realized that I am going to be adding this CHOCOLATE protein powder to all of my meals. . . . ummmm. . . . chocolate and fish? Well I will make it work somehow.
3 - I am fat. . . . I realized this when I was starting my yoga workout today and they wanted me to lean back and I could hardly breathe because of my back fat. . . . sorry, I know it's gross, but I need to keep this real, so you are getting the gory details!
4 - I am not 16 anymore. I used to weight train when I was a teenager and I was really buff and strong. I have DEFINITELY lost that and hopefully in 90 days I will gain it back! (Here's hoping!!)
5 - I cannot work out in my bedroom as I had hoped because I just don't have the room I need. . . . so. . . . off to the bonus room it is. (Did I mention that I don't have blinds in my Bonus Room. . . . you're welcome neighbors!!!)
So, day 1 and a little discouraged. I managed to do 49 minutes out of the hour and a half that I am supposed to do. . . . maybe tomorrow will be better!
