I admit it- I'm such a loser and have not had the courage to get my butt on the scale and weigh myself. I'm in denile. Since I don't weigh myself, I feel like I'm allowed to eat almost anything because I won't be looking at the tiny increase on the scale the next day.
Part of the problem is that there is always an "occasion." We are both guilty of it, a birthday here, a shower there, and so on. The point is, because of all these "occasions," we get off track and have a hard time getting back on track.
So, what is the solution? I think I need to be much more accountable for what I eat. I also need to get on a diet plan and stick to it- no excuses. If fat loss is 70% diet and 30% training, I'm doing this all wrong.
I also think that watching "The Biggest Loser" will be an inspiration. In fact, we can join the club online for free and join in support forums.
What should our diet entail? I'm going to have to start really watching everything. My mom lost a lot of weight on the "no yeast" plan. I think that since it worked well for her that it will work well for me. How can you go wrong with taking out yeast and sugar?
So, when should this plan start? Well, until I had cake and ice cream for my niece's birthday, I would have said today. I'm going to Austin this weekend, so I should say next week. But, time is not on my side. I can't keep putting off losing weight. Who will be inspired by a fat instructor? No one. I have to start taking this more seriously. Niki and I are fitness professionals. The time has come. We have the education. Now we just have to look the part.
We can do this. It won't be easy, but the payoff will be amazing!

Still in the flab part of flab to fit process
I weighed myself last week and have been bummed out ever since. The scale relayed not good news about the state of my body. BOO ON THAT.
It's just right after I weighed myself, I got down and thought, "Whats the point, I'll always be flabby??" and have yet to change my eating habits. I dont want to go out in public; I cant bare to be seen in the sunlight *hiss*. But thats just silly thinking. I cant hermitize myself.
So I have been watching the Olympics, getting inspired and shiat. Today is a new day!
GOOOO ME!

Booty Bootcamp and Yoga.
Well. I made it to the gym today! Woohoo!
I took a Butts, Thighs and I forgot the third one Bootcamp class. Hopefully it was Butts, Thighs and Abs. Now that I think about it, I dont even think the Butts and Thighs part is right; Im sure the term booty was in the title somewhere. Nevertheless, I went to the effing gym, okay?! We worked out on the BOSU ball, which meant I did most of the exercises on the floor. Honestly, who can balance on that half sphere of blue Satan? We ran a little, yada yada. When all was said and done, my legs were sore. It was still not as hard as other bootcamp type classes I have gone too, but all in all, a better workout than watching tv and eating at Burger King ifyouknowwhatimsayin.
I was pretty tired after that class but I stuck it out and went to yoga. Seth's class. He had 2 older guys there and 2 other noobs so I guess he made class pretty chill for us. It was pretty restorative-y, I guess. We did a little breathing thing that Todd taught us to keep cool. You stick your tongue out, curl it into a "straw", and breathe in. Then close your mouth and breath out normally through your nose. It's a cooling breath. The air drags over the moisture on your tongue and feels quite popsicle-y going down. Toward the end of class, we did legs up the wall. Then we did something that I would call Pull Your Arm Out of Socket if I was in the asana naming business. You lay (lie?) on your stomach and reach your right arm straight out to the side. Then you proceed to roll onto your right side and curl your legs up into a fetal position. Then, if you're feeling crazy, you can lift your left arm straight up into the air and try to lower it to grab onto your right hand. GO AHEAD TRY IT ITS FUN. (that was sarcasm). I just put my left hand behind my back and let it chill there. There was a lot of me focusing on my breath, ignoring the right arm strung awkwardly under and behind my body. But, in the end, it felt nice. I was just exaggerating about the arm out of socket thing (but only a little bit of exaggeration, not a lot).
Oh, and SBZ. Seth played that Somewhere Over the Rainbow song by the Hawaiian guy. And With or Without you (that U2 song) but the classical version he has of it. And some Bob Marley. And Dido, "Thank You".
BYE FRIEND!

If Spin Class Doesn't Get Me In Shape
If spin class does not get me in shape, I don't know what will! Since I've moved back to Texas, my motivation to workout has decreased drastically. There's something completely relaxing about just sitting in front of the television all day. Slowly but surely, I've come out of my funk and have started teaching cycling classes again. I'm a sub for now until new openings at the two gyms I teach at, Larry North and LA Fitness, become available. Today, I'm teaching two spin classes. If being at the gym twice in one day doesn't somehow make me naturally fit and naturally want to eat healthy food, then I am hopeless!
