Resolution Progress Check-In: Week 1

Pin It Now! Well it's been one week since my 2011 resolution post and I'm happy to report that I've made some progress!  


Yesterday I started at my local Bikram Yoga studio.  I was prepared to sweat, but I had no idea what Bikram would actually be like.  Whoa!  It was very difficult, but I felt amazing afterwards.  It relieved so much stress and all of my muscles felt warm and strong - exactly the feeling you want after a hard workout.  Here in Oregon there's not much opportunity to sweat, so it also did wonders for my skin.  I can't wait to go back tomorrow!


I've also been tracking my calorie and water intake.  Lately I've been bad about drinking water, so it's really important to track it so I know how much to drink and it forces me to drink more!  


As for the calories, I have a limit each day and have been very good about staying within that range.  I've been eating a lot of soups lately, which are filling, but low in calories.  I've also been eating more fiber and taking probiotics and a great pre-natal vitamin.  {Prenatals are great for ALL women, not just pregnant women}  


I think I'm making good progress towards a healthier, happier life!  How are your New Year's resolutions coming along?

So long 2010...

Pin It Now!

I couldn't be more ready for 2011!  

2010 has not been the best of years for me, so here's hoping 2011 will be a little gentler.  :)



I'm trying to be more diligent about goal-setting, so without further ado, here are my New Year's resolutions.  

1.  Stop procrastinating.  I have always been a procrastinator and at the age of 27 I really should stop doing that now, don't you think?  



2.  Be more punctual.  See #1 for more explanation.  ;)



3.  Lose 50 lbs.  Yikes!  This is a big one.  That number seems so daunting, but I'm already down 5 lbs. within the last few weeks and I'm working my way there, slowly but surely.  I just joined a local yoga studio so I'm hoping to take Bikram yoga at least twice a week, along with my regular gym.  



4.  Sew more!  I have some beautiful projects that I've started, but have yet to finish.  I hope to get several things up on my Etsy page within the next few weeks.  



Here's to the New Year!  
May yours be filled with happiness and love.
