Pilates Session #1
Date: November 1, 2008
Weight: 194 ~ 196 lbs
Waist: 37+ inches
Hip: 44.5 + inches

In my very first session I asked Virginia, "What would be your goal for us?".
She said, "I just want you to see if you feel different" or something along those lines.
After that 1/2 hour session, I felt myself tightening my lower ab and needless to say, I DEFINITELY feel different and AM different.

Pilates Session #30

Weight: 185 ~ 182 lbs
Waist: ~35 inches
Hip: ~43 inches

On this morning, I woke up and tried on a few dresses from my past to see if they fit for a wedding that night. Well, they all zipped up! After my solo fashion show, I went to my session. It's amazing how many more NEW exercises Virginia can come up with that continues to challenge and motivate me.
===================

I've decided this is now Phase 2 of this journey.
I will be having 2 pilates sessions weekly. A duet session with Shannon on Thursdays and a single session on Saturdays. I'm looking forward to both.
The duets are a lot of fun. Shannon, Virginia, and I just always have something to chat about. These sessions are fun and therapeutic! Even when I'm feeling down, once I get there I forget all the thoughts that weigh me down.
The single session is also great because it helps me focus on my strengths and weaknesses.

I have also signed up for a running class on Tuesdays. I bought a new pair of sneakers, my feet are now being takend care of. I started at 1 mile and now I've reached 5 miles a few times. I have a 4 mile race in April, a 5k run in June, and a 200 miles relay (each person would run 3-4 miles at a time)! CRAZY!!!

I want to keep going. I hope during this next phase, I continue to get better mentally, get stronger physically, and look HOT for the summer! Actually, I lie, the HOT part is not true, but I've decided that I want to keep getting better. I am a lot more concious of my flaws (tiny, little ones, OF COURSE!) now, and I want to make me better.

Phase 2, here I come! I hope I can fix my bad eating habits (eating late, eating bad), I hope I can continue to run, and get to 170 lbs for now.

Today, I start with my long run (5 miles) in my nice new sneaks!
