January 4, 2014…….. Happy New Years!What an eventful 2013.
I have reflected
on major events that have impacted and changed my life. 1) Selling “his” house 2) getting
married 3) selling “my” house 4) building a new home and moving to a new town. Plus
there have been other challenges and hardships in between that have been
difficult.
I am a Gemini and love change, 2013 sure
brought the changes of a lifetime.
I also completed a 24 day cleanse/challenge that changed kick started my
health. I would like to think I
have always lived somewhat of a health conscious life. I also decided to do a
cleanse. Not your normal cleanse. It is called a 24 day challenge. It wasn’t a diet but a super charge in
my eating habits. It hit me that I
was living a so called faux healthy life.
Remember, I lived and work in Boulder, CO! I was living a lifestyle of what I wanted people to
think. Sure, I didn’t eat red
meat, ate free-range chicken, organic veggies and food, Almond milk, food cooked
in Coconut oil… blah blah. .but still drank a glass of wine or two or three
every other night. This Pilates
instructor was getting pudgy and lazy about her eating habits.
I only lost 6 lbs but lost inches. I felt great! I learned what true CLEAN eating was like. This year I am staring a new challenge
on Monday, to support my friends and newly wed hubby on their challenge. Yay! I can’t wait. I did gain about 3lbs back from the holidays.
Oh well. We have set backs but I
am not going to judge. I have
posted a few posts on Facebook regarding this.
I took a new barre class today in our new
hood, Berkley in Denver. The
Dailey Method! I loved it. It was so great to take a class and not
be teaching it. I learned so much about my own body (how out of practice I am)
my weaknesses and strengths. I
can’t wait to go back. I also have
given up my barre teaching in Longmont for now. I am still teaching Pilates, but only two classes. I am focusing on my adjusting to Denver
and working on my own body as a student.
I challenge you all to try a new exercise or
a new instructor in whatever classes you normally take on a regular basis. You will be surprised what new things
you learn about yourself and the method.
I also have goals in providing more tips with Pilates exercises, Barre
exercises or using Pilates Principles in your workouts or daily functional
activities.
Stay tuned………
