Ok these are from July 07. Holy…why didn’t someone tell me I was HUGE. This was THE summer of my discontent.
And now.
This is today…I have some from 08 but I cannot find them…but you know…moo.
The skirt in first pictures….size 14. The jeans today 6! (SIX!)
AMEN!
Mark (Blog Father) & I Edmonton Airport ‘06
(just for Jon)
BlogShares MISSES me!
Who knew?
Also, 2 inches gone from my waist. TWO INCHES!
And I feel so much stronger.
Love it.
Week 2 ends tonight. Tomorrow begins week 3.
We’ve been doing well. This week seemed harder than the first. Well it seemed like WE worked harder. So I htink that’s a good thing.
My second attempt at Y0! Gah! was…better, even though I twisted my twisted chair a little to much and tweaked my bum a little.
Generally I enjoy it. I feel stronger. I’ve never had a lot of upper body strength other than carrying babies around and now…I HAVE A MUSCLE! Kinda nifty!
So…ONWARD we go.
Phase 2 begins the week after next (next week is a rest week…filled with yo!gah! and stretches).
I understand it’s WAY more of an ass kicker than this phase.
We shall see.
Today is beginning of week 2 for our X workout.
Surprisingly, there are definate changes that have occured in just 1 WEEK!
Suddenly, most of my back pain is gone (not that iwas extreme but I did have a sore back after work etc)
(hmm I feel as though I mentioned this before)
Chris too is have less back problems….he suffered an injury 2 years ago, and is suddenly waking up in the morning virtually pain free.
AND! He can touch his toes!
I can touch the ground in front of mine.
And in yoga I can get pretty close to accomplishing the “plough” position…which looks REALLY REALLY weird.
Tonight is pull up hell.
So we’ll see how that goes…I certainly can’t do 20.
My goal is 2.
Pathetic I know…but I’ve never had a lot of upper body strength.
Last night was stretch. I hour of stretches.
It oddly required a lot of strength but it was very relaxing…and encouraging to see our increased flexibility.
Am home with a slightly ill Noah. His cold is gone but his cough is lingering.
It;s the first bit of school he’s missed this year so he can afford to stay home one more day.
I am totally dragging his butt outside for a walk though!
ok.
Seriously?
Tony’s (cause we are on a first name basis now….or at least that was I call him when I scream “FUCK YOU TONY!” at my TV)…anyway…Tony’s Yoga dvd is tough.
I haven’t done a lot of Yoga…I’ve done a little pilates but that was years about and I’m not sure how qualified my instructor was.
He provides a beginner version right up to advanced and warns you to not go beyond your comfort zone (I’m sure he meant physical but I like to think the mental was implied)
There was much of it we sat out…mostly cause we we couldn’t follow along all tied up like a pretzel…we went slow…and watched a lot.
We did quite a bit…and it involves WAY MORE strength than I imagined.
BUT with what we did do yesterday….even the beginner moves..my body feels FANTASTIC today.
And for the first time in literally years my back does not hurt after work.
A seriously….WTF?
Mind you, we did 2 dvds that involved different areas of the back.
So maybe the two combined?
Tonight is legs and back.
Pray for me.
