So my girlfriends and I just started a group on GoogleGroups. We’re posting about our eating habits and new workout routines.
So far 2/4 of us worked out today. That’d be me and LanaBana. I’m waiting on everyone else to get all the way involved.
The week of the 17th (May), I was doing so good. I did yoga 3x that week. Today I went in for a new class being offered, Tiger’s Eye. Let me tell you, it was brutal! I felt like I pulled ALL my muscles. It was a combination of train like a fighter and fluid yoga poses. So we warmed up in the yoga room, went to the training room for two rounds of ~15 activities, then back to the yoga room for lots of warrior poses and downward dogs. Many people couldn’t go for the second round of circuit exercises. I did both rounds the best I could. I choose to believe that my Muscle Milk I drank before class gave me the power to do that. Well, I must’ve used it all up before we got to the yoga part because by that time, I was dead. My hair was soaking wet. My tank top and pants were soaking wet – and that’s saying a lot considering EVERYTHING I had on was Dri-Fit.
There is a 30 Day Challenge at the Yoga Studio. The director is challenging everyone to come to one yoga class each day for 30 days. So if you miss a day, you have to make it up by doing 2 sessions. It’s a tough decision because my unlimited pass expires on June 17. The challenge is June 3 – July 2 (I think). A 10-class pass is $105. An unlimited pass for a month is $110. My birthday is Saturday. Feel free to donate towards my unlimited pass, which I obviously need. In order to complete the challenege, I’d practically need 2 of the 10-class passes. No bueno, no bueno las amigas. <–I don’t know any Spanish.
Long story short: someone please buy me a YOGA PASS!?!?
Tomorrow: I’ll let you guys know whether I decided to take the Yoga 30 Day Challenge.
I joined the 50 Million Pound Challenge. My team is Sweet Potato Pie Divas. Obviously, I can’t get in shape on my own, and since I don’t like letting people down – maybe I’ll do it for complete strangers. Considering I didn’t have a Valentine’s Day evening activity planned, after some retail therapy I forced myself to go to the gym and do one mile. That’s all I would torture myself with and then I could go home.
One Mile? Completed. Check the link to my Nike+… apparently it won’t work on wordpress. Wompwomp.
I also weighed myself at the gym. 178. That’s fatty – 2! I would like to believe this is because I’ve been drinking ~1/2 gallon of water a day along with this Yogi Tea Peach detox blend. I love that stuff! Dr. Ian’s meal plan? Way too much for me. How the heck am I supposed to eat 2 cups of cereal with milk + 1 cup of fruit + 1 boiled egg? Plus I gotta have my water, coffee, and orange juice *morning ritual*. All that food is just not happening.
I’m seriously thinking of getting back on the Warp Speed Fat Loss plan. But I can’t fathom eating all that flax meal, cottage cheese, and protein powder. I can’t afford any more of that expensive stuff. Speaking of… I went to GNC today and purchased some chocolate whey powder (store brand). Yuck! Now usually I can mix my current vanilla powder (I can’t remember the brand) with water in my whisk blender cup and go on about my way – yum. The chocolate stuff? I was immediatley disgusted. That will be going back to the store.
I’ll keep you all posted on my progress.
Allow me to introduce myself…
I hate cottage cheese. No really. Who even thought of it? I’m doing this new diet, and there is an insane amount of cottage cheese to be cosumed. I don’t know that I can do it. I sometimes add Splenda, but that’s just not enough. I’ve had all kinds of fruits (blueberries and strawberries) and even walnuts.
It’s just not working.
