Fusion Flow

Saturday, January 19, 2013

I went to my 2nd pilates-yoga fusion class. I really like the principles and moves of the class but my word it was hard. We did several repetitions of Downward Dog - High Plank - Low Plank and back again. My arms/shoulders could not hold me up for even one cycle! I felt weak and defeated. Not the feelings I had anticipated feeling - satisfied, tired, etc.

Ideas to strive for

Monday, January 14, 2013

Today's feature SP blog linked to the Little Book of Diet Help. They list "your aim" (on page 5) as the following 6 statements. I think it's a good strategy:

To feel positive about yourself, your body, and how you look (I draw my strength from my husband who tells me how beautiful and sexy I am all the time).
To eat when you are hungry (this I am good at).
To stop eating when you are no longer hungry (this is the one I'm not good at).
To free yourself from cravings (... not so good at this one either).
To feel motivated to exercise more (this one I do well at until I have an injury).
To lose weight easily and naturally (that sounds lovely).

i have some of the same aims. i would like to be free of cravings and be motivated to be active throughout my day and be more aware of my eating habits and to control them better. i used to think i was a lazy person, but i am an effective worker just scatterbrained. I just have to surround myself more with my passions. Report Inappropriate Comment

Great class today

Great workout today at Pilates. No one else came so it was a private lesson but my legs were so wobbly at the end that it was hard to change gears driving home ...

Feeling great today

Friday, July 20, 2012

Back is a bit sore, but I felt strong through my core and I had so many compliments today from strangers. I wore my Great Grandmother's necklace that I recently inherited and felt very calm and connected. I don't know if they are related but I was so delighted!

Back on Track

Wednesday, July 11, 2012

Did two 15 min circuit videos and then my first Nordic Walking lesson. I am so joyful! 75 minutes of exercise and I feel great!! My back is a little stiff - I used ice and took some Advil. Let's see how I feel in the morning.

I'm at the lower threshold of my calories. All round, a wonderfully successful day :D
