Yay!! I got realeased from PT for achillese tendonitis! So yesterday I started the Les Mils Pump.
I took before pics - Yikes! What a change! I'm happy now.. and kinda like having a lot more balance in my life so even though I've got 15 extra lbs in the last 2 years... I feel in a very good place.
So much to be grateful for - spirituality is key to everything and knowing that true happiness comes from within and being alligned with Source/Spirit ... rather than basing it on outside events. Thats probably a bit heavy for this fitness/health blog but so critical to happiness - I just couldn't omit it.
2012 for me is going to be a continuation of 2011 (which was great year as was 2010)... continue to focus on growth, balance, having a sense of wonder, appreciating the magnificence of what is, prosperity,
health (all levels), being a peacemaker in every way (this is very different than peacekeeper!!),
My achillese heal (no pun intended - but it is interesting how that has been my injury) is to be fully open to give and receive love! Though that's in a different blog!
So.... Measurements taken check, Befor pics taken check, fitness plan decided check.
Today is a rest day but since I have the day off am going for a brisk (its 14 degrees) walk! Gotta go off to REI and buy a hat first!
Once I reach 30 days - I'll post the difference in inches.
Goals - remain injury free, Love my workouts, eat healthy, Lose 4 lbs! Have fun!

New Year
Yay! Making progress on PT! It was amazingly warm on New Years. 51 and sunny! Went for a walk including a steep hill! Yay progress! Doing light weights many reps.
While my calorie burn is lower, I'm focusing a lot on healthy eating. Funny as part of IIN, the year long program I'm in there is a lot of talk about bio individuality, what food is best for me is not what is best for you. What is so ironic is all the guides say how there's is best!
So what I want to do is get the best from all them (and of course what works for me)... It's almost like saying to the experts 1. "What can you ALL agree on". Anything you can't agree on is based on bio individuality 2. For Every "DON'T eat" have a "DO EAT"
----
1. Eat whole foods. I like the saying if you can't pronounce the ingredients then don't eat it.
2. Drink lots of water. Avoid soda and sugary drinks.
3. Eats lots of veggies and focus on different colors! It looks great and so good to get a full balance. Including greens, mushroom, onion
4. Eat fruit - nature’s candy. Avoid refined sugar!
All debatable - thus based on bio individuality!
1. Meat
2. Fish
3. Eggs
4. Legumes
5. Soy
6. Dairy
7. Whole grains

So for now I'm basically doing an anti-inflammatory diet (not as in diet but eating plan)

Feel better! Took my starting weight etc. Funny I've gained 15 lbs over the last 2 plus years, less activity, hormones. In a way I like being less lean - no more gaunt looks but would like to not have to buy new clothes! Goal is to prob loose 12 lbs but in a HEALTHY way!
Ok time for some shakeology - still on a pumpkin kick ! There must be some ingredient I need. For the record. I dont have shakeology daily 3 or 4 days a week!
....
Have a great week! Happy 2012!
