Tonight I went to my first Yoga/Pilates class. I loved it! I'm feeling a little wobbly though, my legs feel like jello. You can't cheat in a class like you can at home, you know.....those little rests that are taken too often. Being in a class motivated me to try harder. I could see myself getting addicted to it. The classroom was beautiful with music playing and candles, and of coarse, my children weren't running around....which was a huge plus for me. It was quiet and peaceful and I really just had a little me time. I went with my friends Kimmy and Nikki. I'm not sure how often we'll be able to go together because of conflict with schedules and Eli starting golf soon, but hopefully I'll be able to go at least once a week or every other week. If anyone is interested and wants to come with me....... You can go in on a walk in basis and there are a ton of classes to choose from, they also offer a lot of classes in the evening.
I am officially in diet and exercise mode. I love my healthy lifestyles class. I've been learning so much and am truly interested. I am determined to loose 15 pounds. I know it's not much but it is a huge difference to me. I have never been at the weight I am right now NON-pregnant. I know I am at a "healthy weight", but I know I am not healthy because of my exercise and eating habits. Being hyperthyroid has given me the excuse to eat when I want and how much, now I think my age is changing my metabolism and I'm not getting away with what I used to. I want to fit back into my pre-pregnancy jeans. I'm not liking the little love handles that are left behind. Summers coming and last summer I was really self conscious and I wasn't comfortable with my belly stickin out and my pear shaped figure. I really need to try and get up before the kids and work out, but I love my sleep way to much. I feel motivated though and I'm feeling a shift in my attitude. ONE DAY AT A TIME!
