I went to Yoga 11 times in January and this week alone, I went 4! So I know I'm doing fairly well with this whole, every other day practice of Yoga.
SYTYCD was so much fun... being 6th row, we made a sign with Nico's name on it and he TOTALLY pointed at us during the show.. made my heart melt!
My fiance is finally back next Sunday! I can't wait because I really need his help to motivate me on days I'm not doing yoga. I find yoga is helping me become more flexible and toning me up but not helpi…

i had the best yoga session so far today... i was really pushed to my limits on certain postures.... couldn't hold as long as i wanted in standing bow but my back bend was really deep today and so was my half moon! WOO HOO!!! it felt really great and i was sad that i didn't have a friend witness it (usually I go with someone)
once i start picturing myself thinner and healthier i stay more focused. i would be so much happier if i lost my stomach... it's such a problem area for me... all other pa…

I will now perform the walk of shame..
my last post was on new years eve and i feel terrible for not regularly posting like i had wanted (was also part of my new years resolution... talk about not even getting that one started!!)
my weight has maintained itself.. no gains, no losses..... kind of in a state of nothingness...
on the positive note i purchased an 80 pass card for bikram's yoga and have been attending classes every other day or two since mid December so I'm thrilled that I've foun…

i'm very proud of myself because i managed to go to bikram's yoga (this incredibly challenging form of yoga where you are in a HOT room like 30 degrees celsius doing yoga poses for 90 minutes) two days in a row! i found that i've been really busy this holiday which is why i haven't been keeping up with my regular posting... another thing that i don't quite understand is the gain i've been seeing on my scale... it doesn't seem to make sense to me because if anything, i've been more physically act…

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas day. Have fun, be merry and don't be so hard on yourself if you have a glass of wine (or two).

i didn't make it out to yoga yesterday or today because it snowed all night saturday and all day sunday leaving it impossible for me to make it out of my street on to the main roads! luckily i have my workout DVDs which i managed to complete today and i took my doggie out for walks which added lots of traction cause it was a challenge having to sludge through all that snow.
our xmas dinner party was a huge success... since it was snowing pretty hard, one of the girls couldn't make it out last n…

so the talent show was a huge success... i think i messed up on certain segments but it all went by so fast that i hope someone filmed it so i can see just how much of a fool i probably looked like up there!
today is not only my first official day of winter holidays but it is also my first day of bikrams! i was mentally preparing myself to do this tomorrow but some of my friends were going today... so i thought, why not start a day earlier? seeing that i didn't get a chance to work out yesterda…

one of the best perks of being a teacher is all the holidays! it is well deserved in our profession and i'm so excited for it to finally begin after tomorrow! i'm feeling really energized from the workouts and will continue with this pace to see where it leads me. i've also decided to try out bikram's yoga during my holiday since they have a special promotion where you pay $30 for 2 weeks unlimited of yoga... perfect for my 2 week break! i'm looking forward to sweating all my excess weight off!…

i'm so happy that Michelle won Biggest Loser and was really shocked to see how much weight Amy (Phil's Amy) lost! She looked incredible... and weighing in at 124?? Wow!!! Here I am still hovering around 145... today it was closer to 150... they are truly an inspiration.
I've been keeping up with my DVDs so I've got that... today I managed to almost do an entire workout... there's this one 6 min section that I had to skip because I absolutely HATE doing leg lifts. They put it in near the end of…

so lots of exciting things to look forward to this week... it's the last week before winter holidays begin in our school system, i am participating in a staff talent show for a grad fundraiser, and i'll be helping to serve food to those less fortunate at the salvation army. busy, busy, busy! that's what this holiday season is about and that's the way i like to keep things!
i managed to get in half an hour of the workout dvd last night, i was glad that i managed to get anything in... i had a cra…

alright, so i haven't been able to stick with slim in 6 to the tee... you're supposed to play the dvds everyday, so far i've only been doing them every OTHER day... but i assure y'all, i am TRYING my best... i guess with the holiday season and my new engagement, i've just been booked with meeting with friends and trying to complete my xmas shopping before the "rush" begins (though i'd argue that it's already begun!)
i also went wedding dress fitting yesterday and felt a little depressed that i…

i have to thank my honorary Blog to Lose "mother, Lynn, for inquiring about my update... yes, it is now December 11.. you know what's good though? I started my workout program on Tuesday, was sore the next day (and also tutoring the whole day but at least walked my dog 3 times and ate well). So today since I have no tutoring and Im done work early, I'll get to do my workout again.. not bad, 2 out of 3 days... a pretty good start! I think my body also needs to adjust cause it's still a little ach…

okay, so tomorrow marks the first day of me getting back on track. i've decided that my plan is to start the slim in 6 series again and to compliment that with going the gym and bikram's yoga. i plan on keeping a food journal of everything that i eat and to have all meals planned a day in advance to avoid impulses.
i'll also be back to walking my doggie 2-3 times a day so there's no reason for me to not have physical activity integrated everyday. wish me luck! i'll keep you posted on how well t…

I'm starting to feel a little bit better or at least trying to switch my way of thinking to a more positive one. I know for sure that I will optimize the time that the boyfriend is gone to get into a regular exercise routine and experiment in the kitchen... it will be a good time for me to call people over and cook for them as well since I hate cooking for just myself (this way there tends to be less left overs).
Today I caved in a little and had some potato chips and dip that a coworker brough…

I feel like my weight loss goals are going down the drain... I don't know if it's because of TOM at the moment but I'm just not in a positive spirit to feel like I can actually achieve my dream of being 125-130lbs. I wonder sometimes if maybe this is just how it's always going to be for me. I tend to go through these cycles where I find something new and different and I get psyched about it for a while (ie: my personal trainer and blog to lose) and I'm good and I start seeing some weight loss bu…

No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose! YES WE CAN!
Sorry, I've just had this "timeless creed" in my mind the whole week. I am very proud of you, America, for making the decision for change. As Oprah's T-Shirt said it post-election day: HOPE WON.
I was left feeling very inspired and moved as I watched Obama's speech and told myself that even though I've barely lost any weight (and that I probably won't reach my goal before the end of 2008) I still need to try harder and remind myself daily…

not so into tricks, but treats.... ohhhh yeah.
so the boyfriend and i went to see SAW 5 tonight in spirit of Halloween and as anticipated, we both shared movie theatre popcorn and an iced tea. lucky me the boyfriend ended up devouring almost all of it (plus the movie was wayyy too bloody and gory for me to even have my mouth open to breathe for air let alone be chewing!).
i was doing pretty good until on my way out of the movie there was frozen yogurt and going with the theme of halloween, i o…

is anyone else finding it difficult to keep on with regular updates or is it just me? i feel bad for not updating on here... i guess i'm kind of trying to avoid the fact that i'm STILL NOT DOING ANYTHING about my weight loss. i did, however, go to Bikram's Yoga cause they had a grand opening and sessions were free last Saturday and totally sweat my butt off! but now i have a sharp pain down the right side of my neck and i don't know if that's associated with the yoga i did or not but it isn't a…

so my boyfriend's birthday was on tuesday and as a gift to him i planned a week of home cooked gourmet meals (not just your quick fix dinners!).. which was also another way for me to secretly get in some healthy eating..
i feel that i have the eating part down pretty good but now it's the EXERCISE.. it's always the exercise... with the weather getting colder i'm not as enthused about my long walks with the dog. i think i'm giving up on the gym... when i'm there i just don't push myself hard eno…
