HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I am happy to bring in the New Year 105 pounds lighter. 

A great  reason to celebrate by any measurement.

But my journey is not over just yet!

Starting back up Friday, January 1st., 2010 I am back on program 100%

My goal is 135 pounds – 20 more pounds to lose.

If you have a few or a lot to lose… join me on January 1st for motivation right here on my Blog “Its Melting Off” , where I will be blogging my day-to-day progress.

I will be using Medifast Meal Replacements on their 5&1 Meal Plan. That’s 5 meal replacements and one Lean Protein and Vegetable meal.

I am going to schedule time to stretch every day for 10 minutes. Yoga  and weight training twice a week and cardio at least 3 days a week for 20 to 30 minutes!

Sounds like a lot going on… and it is!  I’m worth the time, energy and effort.

So join me daily starting New Years Day for my first entry to a slimmer me.

My hope is you get excited and motivated to get moving and improve your health along with me! So come on….it’s going to be a great year and decade for all of us!

I stepped out of my comfort zone…

nervous and excited to give it a try… I set out this morning for my very first HOT YOGA class here in Folsom at Bikram Yoga.

Getting healthy and living an active lifestyle is very appealing to me. I knew this was a step in my journey. And something that I must do.

What made me most anxious was that it was going to last for

90 minutes!

Man-O-Man that seemed like a long time to do yoga!

As a newbee I wondered if I’d last that long… but I was willing and ready.

Heather was the class instructor.  She put me at ease right away. She said for the 2 first-timers, our goal is just to stay in the room for the entire 90 minutes.   Well heck, I can hang out for 90 minutes. No problem. I got it. I was feeling confident now.

It started out with everyone getting a floor space. Putting down a long skinny mat with a towel over it, facing the long wall of mirrors. Thinking back – I’m surprised we didn’t fog up the mirrors.  That would have been funny.

Hot Yoga...here I go.

I knew I was going to have to listen and focus if I was going to get into the pose. A couple were very easy, and a couple were pretty advanced. I realized that if I was going to eventually do some of the poses …I’d have to strengthen my core.  Something I definitely need to work on.

Hot Yoga Pose

It's a lot like Golf. It looks Easy.

Balance and focus were needed when we got to the one leg pose.  My right leg – could not stand still. My left leg, well have a look!

Balance... Pretty Good for a first timer!

What struck me was the care Heather showed in this class towards the students and her knowledge to guide us verbally through multiple sequences of poses and rest. 

I completed the entire 90 minute class!

I feel a great sense of accomplishment.

 I was willing to take a risk today and try something new. I am so happy I did.  Getting healthy and living a full life means getting out of our comfort zone.
