We met with Jessica, the owner of Jumping Frog Pilates, on Saturday to discuss the details of the program. There are 4 groups and a total of 7 participants, not including the instructors, nutrionist, acupuncturist, and personal trainers. The plan is to complete the program by the end of March 2009. As we progress, clients will have the opportunity to participate as well. We will all have 3 personal goals and a signed contract to ourselves.
My goals include weighing 150 lbs, run at 7 minutes per mile, and change my relationship with food.
Initially, I said 155 lbs, but Shannon motivated me to go for 150. I will have to lose 38.5 lbs in about 20 weeks. Here's where I start creating calendars, weighing daily, and become obessed (MUST lose 2 lbs per week... or else) BUT, this time it'll be different. I will only weigh myself at the Tenafly Studio once a week, and will try my best to not become obsessed avoiding the disappointment and the self punishment.
My running goal was to run at least twice a week and get to a point where I can run 3-4 miles comfortably. Here, Jessica pushed me to go for 7 minutes per mile. Honestly, I don't even know what that will entail, but if she believes I can do it, then why not.
Last, my eating habit. I can't even begin to explain this one. I believe I have a very good understanding of what is good for me and what is not, but somehow I just can't seem to notice when it is out of control. More to come on this topic I'm sure.
Saturday's session: I was very eager to attend this class. So eager I arrived 15 minutes early. In some ways the excercises are getting harder because I'm more conscious of when I'm doing them wrong. My body feels like I had an uncomfortable night of sleep, minimal soreness in odd parts like my shoulder blades. I also feel very heavy, but that is probably because of weekend food. Indian w/ red wine on Friday AND Korean BBQ w/ soju on Saturday.
Good Food = My Kriptonite.
