Time, Patience, Practice

Good morning fellow bloggers and fitness friends! I took last night off as an unplanned rest day and managed my calories to ensure that I did not go over my 1200 calorie daily limit (before exercise). I needed the rest and tonight I will be pumping out the Yoga along with the Balance and Power... it is going to be an exciting evening.

So, today is Friday and I am taking Karen's advice and I have decided to make Friday my weigh-in days to keep me focused for the weekends. So this morning I stepped on the scale to find that it finally moved -- in the right direction! Last week I did not report that I had lost 1 pound from my previous weigh-in. Actually, the first weigh in I thought that there was an error; I couldn't possibly be that size! But alas on the second weigh in there was a move on the scale of 1 pound, so I guess that there was no error. I just can't imagine how much I weighed at the beginning of this round... I didn't have the heart to weigh in! Anyway, moving on...

This morning I saw a loss of 8.2 pounds!!! I could not be more happy! The differences this week is that I started snacking on mixed veggies rather than fruit. I also knew the workouts a bit better and pushed harder... but that is it! Every damn day I pushed play, every damn day I ate clean and every damn day I sweated a ton!! Now I get to enjoy my move on the scale.

On to my Friday Move of the Week. This week my Mom is demonstrating her HALF ANGEL move... isn't she amazing!!

















I know that there are many people doing the program that currently struggle with that move and my Mom makes it look easy. I am getting better but I certainly don't pump them out like Mom does!

And on to my Move of the Week: the Table Chest Press. Mom did much better with the photo this week even though she almost, but didn't quite, cut my head off :P


















Make it a great!! Keep pushing play and BRING IT!
