Alright, so I was going strong for workouts in March 2011, and for a few months, then I let myself make excuses and life came up.
I have stated my goals for 2012, and am starting on them come Monday. My friend and accountability partner, Paula, challenged me to do some Ten Minute Trainer yoga today. So, I did. I went and changed into my workout clothes which are comfortable enough to do yoga in. Borrowed one of my daughters rubber bands to keep my hair out of my face (sad that I don’t have any) and strutted up to the Ten Minute Trainer like a warrior who saw a less than adequate challenger. In the back of my head I’m thinking, I did P90X yoga and got through 30 minutes of that at my peak, this will be nothing!
Ha! Oh boy was I wrong! Not only have I lost the flexibility and stamina I gained from the Ten Minute Trainer the first go around, I lost all I had gained from P90X. Morale of the story? Lesson learned! Yoga is no joke, even if I did it before, when I stopped doing it I started losing what I worked so hard to get the first time around. So now what? I’ll start my new workout on Monday and keep up yoga no matter what I do!
I still have a love/hate relationship with yoga. I love it, but I hate the pain it brings. Luckily the pain is not sharp pain that tells me something is wrong and it’s only temporary.
I have decided to do a Shakeology® cleanse for today and tomorrow since I haven’t eaten yet today. I want to get a kick start on getting rid of the toxic food and junk I’ve been filling my body with and a jump start on my weight loss as well. [Want to know more about Shakeology®? Just send me a message or ask in a comment!]
I have to take new measurements, but as of this morning my weight is 221.6. I am not going to dwell on the fact that I gained 11.6 pounds back in the last several months, because I can’t change the past. I can only change what I am doing now and into the future.
I will update my measurements as soon as possible. I am also going to have to find a new theme so everyone can see the tabs I have for accountability, etc. I have to re-add my accountability sheet with workouts, etc on it as well.

Here’s to starting a new journey!
