Back ON the Wagon!

Things have been good! Although at work I feel I am being swallowed alive by paperwork and follow up, and working from 8am until 7pm almost every day is getting kind of old, I know I have a great life, a great job, etc.! I am back on the Tracy Anderson/Bikram Yoga wagon, back eating healthfully, and am doing a whole body cleanse from Trader Joe's. Woke up this morning feeling super tired even though I got 9 hours of sleep! Oh well, it's Monday. What's to be expected?! :)

Tomorrow is Tuesday. TAM tomorrow morning and a YP (Young Patrons of the Portland Art Museum) meeting tomorrow night. I can do this!

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!

Bye-Bye Level 4!

Yesterday morning I completed Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis day/workout #40.  Phew!  Did I sweat buckets yesterday morning!  I can't tell you how happy I am to have finished level 4.  The free arms/warm-up, arms w/weights, abs, and isolations worked you but weren't HARD.  Now, the leg lifts.......all 200 sets on EACH LEG (some having two movements per 1 set, ugh!!) were another story.  Usually the first side would be "easy," but the minute I moved on to the second side (which I would alternate each morning), I would be DYING and struggling to make it through all of the reps but darn it, I would just pause that DVD and finish them out until I did ALL of them.  BAM!  Take that, Tracy Anderson!  ;)

With day 40 comes new measurements and weigh-in.  Again, I am happy to report that I am down a total of 20 pounds (2 more since my official 30-day weigh-in) and I lost another half-inch from my hips!  :)  These results have just been amazing and I start level 5 today.  Since I have an EARLY morning and LONG meeting scheduled at work I have to start tonight after work but it's okay, I'll get it done.  Also, had an AMAZING Portland Art Museum Young Patrons Society event last night that centered around "The Allure of the Automobile."  We had a FABULOUS turnout thanks to my fellow organizing committee members and the Museum's partners at the Oregon Historical Society.....WOW.  I could have done without the Kiwi-tini (although delicious), it had this green sugared rim that turned my tongue, and inside of my lips GREEN.  LOL

Here's looking forward to level 5 of Tracy Anderson's Metamorphosis Method tonight!  SO excited and excited for my next measurement/weigh-in on Day 50!!!  :)

Will this week EVER end?!

It's been one of those weeks.  I can't do anything right, everything I do turns to you-know-what, and the days are just dragging!  Luckily, or unluckily, all of this has been affecting my work-world...not sure what is going on but heard that there is a full moon and a lunar eclipse going on so maybe some of it has to do with that.

On the bright side (yes, there is always one) the sun is out, it's supposed to be in the mid-70's today and I am really looking forward to the weekend.

On another bright side, I am still doing really well with my TAM workouts and food program, I am down a total of 19 pounds since starting her Metamorphosis Method (23 pounds total since I started counting/paying attention earlier this year)!  So, needless to say, that progress is making me VERY happy.

Almost done with our book club book.  I am just a couple of short chapters away from finishing "The Island" by Victoria Hislop and it has been an AMAZING read.  I'm only bummed I couldn't make it back in time from the coast to make it to our book club meeting...looking forward to our next read, "Three Junes" by Julia Glass.  Sounds like a great book!

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!
