So, week one was pretty much a bust for me. The first class I missed because it was Passover and the second class I missed because of some tickets bought months earlier. But I did do my food journal. Because it was Passover I couldn't have breads or pastas and that really helped. Lunch was mostly salads with grilled chicken and dinner was a protein, vegetable and usually a sweet potato. I did do my tapes this week.
Our homework for Week 1:
1) At home workout - remember a MINIMUM of 1 total body and 1 abs (plus any additional workouts to compensate for any indulging over the weekend, try to be reasonable and make smart choices (remember portion sizes!)
2) I will post a new message called "About me..." - reply to this message with a paragraph or two about yourself and your family. If you can, please post a picture of your family as well. It's a good opportunity to get to know each other a little better. Include some fun facts.
3) Stand in front of a mirror with your shirt off. Let everything relax - ie let everything hang, droop, sag, and hunch. Take note of how your feel and look. Then, stand tall - chest up, shoulders back and pulled down, abs drawn in, smile. Again, take note of how you feel and look. This is a posturing exercise. Be mindful throughout the day of your posture. Try to be ideal....
I'll post my About Me in my next entry.
#3 was hard. Hang, droop, sag was right. Gravity is not my friend. But when I pulled back—while there was still definite sagging—I did feel better. Stronger. And confident. Confident in me and what I can do. Maybe not this week or next week .. but in time.
