July is the month of massages! This month is already looking to start out with a bang and I want it to continue that way. My goal is to start taking more Yoga, Pilates and strength classes. Having massages lined up every week, pretty much, will help push me to feel better about having a reward on a weekly basis. I’ve been making an effort this week and today I realized that I’ve gone EVERY day to the gym or to yoga. I have done something small everyday. And while the yoga wasn’t all that difficult the fact that I’ve still made an effort to go and try to do something small, something active. Today I’m doing cardio and then going to yoga later in the evening at Yoga to the People in the Mission which is quickly becoming my favorite place to do yoga at. The space is just beautiful. They have a 7:30 candlelit class on Sundays that I really want to start taking once my schedule changes back to mornings on the weekends. Going out and drinking on the weekends just doesn’t appeal to me that much – I’d rather be relaxing, getting good sleep and feeling productive on my days off then overindulging and feeling swollen the next day
Leaving tomorrow to go visit my parents in Antioch and then have a hotel booked in Davis where my grandparents live. I’m excited about the prospect of going on a mini-vacation and plan on enjoying it fully. But also taking advantage of the hotel gym and may even look into renting a bicycle for the time I’m there. Although it will be really hot, I’d imagine. Shorts, sandals, dresses and bare legs are required. When I return back I plan on reemerging myself in better eating, counting calories and staying between 1600-2000 a day. I’ve kind of let myself lapse a bit this week, allowing myself to eat freely as long as I don’t super overindulge, eating well without feeling guilty about it. I weighed myself this morning and went up a pound since my last weigh-in but I feel healthier, stronger. So I’m not worried so much about the numbers. For reference sake, however I'm at 173.
Small goals for when I return:
Wednesday - pilates fusion @ 8am & cardio (ride bike)
Thursday - Total Body Conditioning @9-950 (ride bike)
Friday - cardio blast ! 30-45min before apt in the marina
Saturday – cardio 30-45min & training session @ 3
Sunday - Iyengar @9-10:20, cardio 10:30-11:30 (ride bike)
