Falling off the wagon...

The best part about falling off the wagon is getting back on, right?

I've lost my way after a fun trip to Sunriver, having too much fun for my birthday, and then getting super, super sick. Ugh. It happens and I refuse to beat myself up over it. I am up this morning, FINALLY feeling better from that dreadful cold, and am determined to get up and get moving and restarting my Tracy Anderson Continuity DVD's. Now that the congestion is finally just about almost 100% gone, I feel I can safely restart my program, so here we go! Looking forward to logging those burned calories!! :)

Day 50 - Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis - Results!

Source: www.aplacetolovedogs.com

I completely forgot to post my Day 50 results! I am now going on Day 56 so am a little behind on posting but things are still going well!

Although by Day 50 I hadn't lost any more weight, I could definitely still feel a difference in the way my clothes were fitting and the way my body looked, which is good!

It turns out I lost another .25" from my hips (hooray!  any little bit counts!!) and another 1/2" from each thigh!!  Seriously!!  :)

I am continuing to see the results and they are great.  I bought a new pair of works pants a couple of weeks ago and they are already getting loose on me, what the heck?!  I am enjoying this feeling and am keeping on.  Level 6 of TAM (Tracy Anderson Method) is definitely kicking my butt but I'm sticking to it.  Other than taking an unscheduled rest day the other day, I'm a keeping on.......only four more days of Level 6!  I can do it and then I'll get to see what Level 7 has in store for me....YIKES!

Hope everyone is doing well....over and out for now!  :)

Hello Level 6!

Well, hello Level 6 of Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis and thank you VERY much for properly kicking my butt from the get-go!  Seriously, the warm-up and arms are great, even the arms with weights and the isolations are a breeze.....then we get to the abs where we have more parts moving around at the same time and holy heck, the leg lifts!  WOW...

Consider myself schooled.

Tracy Anderson - you rock my world and I only hope that all of this hard work, sweat, and profanity, gives me a rock-hard butt and thighs!  :)

Happy Thursday everyone!  Hope you are all having a great week and all had a fabulous 4th of July!!

Day 3 of Level 6 is tomorrow.......going to go to bed early again to try and prepare myself.  Wish me luck!

Crazy Bikram Yoga Rituals

There are so many pros to working out at home, as I'm discovering.  One of these, as my post's title suggests, is not having to do/deal with all of my crazy Bikram Yoga rituals that I think most Bikram yogis abide by.  They are numerous (feel free to add to my list!) and will sound crazy.....if interested, keep reading:

1. Not eating anything at LEAST 2 hours prior to class
2. Not drinking any more water at least 1 hour prior to class
3. Never, not in a million years, use ANY kind of lotion as it will make you super slippery in class once you start sweating buckets
4. Having to find an ice source (to keep your water cold throughout class) if you're going to class from work (luckily we had an ice machine) otherwise I'd have to stop at Starbucks before class
5. Having to Sherpa around bags full of crap and clothes to change into OH and a change of shoes too because Lord knows you wouldn't want to leave class in your work shoes
6. Sourcing and carrying around grocery bags with you to take your nasty, sweaty clothes home in
7. Finding all kinds of crazy water additives to help sustain your (daily) practice
8. Getting to class at least 30 minutes before it started so you can snag "your spot"
9. Having a favorite water bottle for class and freaking out if you forgot it at home
10. ???  I know I'm missing some.....this is all I can think of right now

I guess most of the "rituals" that I miss the least are the time-consuming ones....it's SO nice to wake up, throw on your workout clothes and shoes, walk downstairs, stretch, and do your workout and be done for the day.   Speaking of which, I'm running behind today with my Tracy Anderson workout, so off to the downstairs I go!  :)

Almost Halfway Through My Metamorphosis Journey!

Metamorphosis
Source: yourdictionary.com

When you hear the word metamorphosis, the first thing a person usually thinks of is a butterly, or rather, a caterpillar turning into a beautiful butterfly.

This morning I completed Day 44 of my Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis program.  After tomorrow morning's workout, I will be halfway through my original 90-day journey and then will move on to Continuity.

Time flies.  I have enjoyed each and every day of my metamorphosis and am ever SO thankful to have found Tracy Anderson and the support of her online community.  I've never felt better and I am on my way to turning into that butterfly.  Not that I've ever thought I'm ugly or needed a transformation but it was just about time to find something that works for me and gives me the results I've been wanting for all of my hard work, effort, and time invested.

Level 5, you are hard, but I'm keeping up with you, Tracy!  The abs are pretty dang difficult but they will only get me results.  I am looking forward to a much deserved massage tonight and getting my butt kicked again in the morning!  Amazing results, you are mine!  Metamorphosis, you will be mine!  :)  Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis on QVC!!

Well, folks, you can now buy Tracy Anderson's Metamorphosis Method on QVC!!!  You all know how much I LOVE Tracy Anderson and I am just SO happy that there is another option to make her workouts available to everyone out there that needs a good kick in the butt.  I am still loving her workouts and LOVE that she changes it up every 10 days; really makes a difference.  As of today I am 35 days into her program and am still getting results. 

I had to DVR her appearance on QVC because they aired one show at 2:00am and another at a time I was at work.  It was fun to see her live on QVC and to hear and see how inspired she is by all of us little old regular and out of shape folks that are finding amazing results through her Method.  People called in with their praise and testimonials and they even had live people on air to show their before and after results and they were just AMAZING!  I am SOO impressed and inspired by the many that have begun their journey with Tracy.  I'll make sure to keep you all up to date on my progress but right now, level 4 is kicking my butt big time!  It's hard but I'm sticking with it because.....I can do it!  :)  Have a great day, all!

***30 Day Results!*** Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis Hipcentric

Well, today is the day......30 days that I've been on the TAM program (food plan and all) and here are my results:

I am down a total of 18 pounds!!!! 

I have lost 2 inches total on bust, 3 inches from waist, 2.5 inches from hips, 3 inches off each thigh and 1 inch each arm!!!  Pretty freaking amazing if you ask me.  I'm loving it and looking forward to starting level four and the next 30 day journey on Saturday!  :)

I am so thrilled and excited to share my results.  The work has been hard but I'm getting stronger and I know I can keep it up!

Thank you, Tracy Anderson, for this wonderful program and for helping me begin my "metamorphosis!"  I'm excited to see where this 90-day total journey will take me, however, I am also excited that I have found something for life. 

I love TAM!!!  :o)

Excited

Tomorrow will be 30 days on the Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis Method and I am very excited to weigh-in (crazy, I know) and take measurements to see my results so far.  60 more days to go and wonder where I will be by then?! 

I feel great and am loving each and every workout.....so looking forward to making TAM a part of my life!
