Update on Mission Fitness

The two part Mission that needs to be fully completed in the next 3-4 months.

MISSION 1- Get back to the gym.
 
STATUS- In progress....

I have managed to go EVERY single day this week. Cardio for 45 min. plus. with weight training for over 25/30 min each session (alternating muscle groups of course!)

This is exciting and I feel like a million bucks!

My goal is to continue this. I'll be adding in one day of yoga a week, and hopefully making it to a bikram yoga class 2 times a month in addition to the regular yoga. AND I want to do Pilates as well. Of course keeping the elliptical, my bike and running in the equation.
 It's going to be a busy autumn. Hopefully I'll have friends who might be interested in going to classes with me so I can combine my love for yoga with my love for socializing...

MISSION 2- Stay on top of eating habits.

STATUS- In process.

Last week I had to buy a pair of pants that made me cry. Well, not the pants, but the size. And as we all know, and have said to the occasional guy (ha!), size doesn't matter. Hmm...to me it does. (on both counts. Whatever, guys can be shallow sometimes, so I'm allowed to also!). And in this case I have control over THIS size.
Once I'm on a mission, as clearly outlined here I am- it's on. Watch out.

The response to the pants size debacle? I joined Weight Watchers (yes, again....). It's the one program that isn't a fad, isn't based on ridiculous weird concepts. It's solid and sound fundamental information on how to eat well. Of course they have their ridiculous foods filled with artificial gunk that I won't eat, or buy- but paying attention to portion size is the key element. It also insures that you are moving more, eating well and living a lifestyle. And of course while I have fallen off the wagon with WW in the past- this time it needs to stick.

The best part of all of this? Is it's easier than you'd think.

My goal is to lose 30 lbs. As per the scale at the gym on Monday, I have lost 3 of those 5. WOO! Lets see what the WW scale says tomorrow at weigh in. Then we can REALLY woo!!
