We're making some progress!

So here's where we stand, about 4 weeks into this bridesmaid slimdown:

I've lost about 4 pounds - which can be a bit discouraging, but let's keep in mind two things:

• I typically don't lose a lot of weight right away. It's frustrating, but it takes a while
• I'm actually putting on quite a bit of muscle - you should see my push-ups!

I have lost half an inch in my waist, an inch in my hips, half an inch in my thighs, and an inch at the spot on my waist that my yoga pants hit. This is exciting progress for me!

In addition to my regular workouts and boot camp, I have thrown one more thing into the mix - Yoga Sculpt! I've taken 3 classes so far and I am in LOVE. The class is available at Core Power Yoga and it is AMAZING. Now, I generally hate yoga. Despise it, even. My friend and fellow bridesmaid Amanda lured me into going. She promised me it would be fun. And besides, the first week is FREE! So I said fine, I'll try it, but if I hate it, I'm going to stab your eyeballs out. Lucky for Amanda, and her eyeballs, I LOVED it. It is so not your typical yoga class. The music is fun and upbeat. You can talk, giggle, sing along to Britney and Rihanna, and oh, sweat your ass off because it's 95 degrees in there. You go through some basic yoga poses, and use weights as well - you can use 3 lbs, 5 lbs, or 8 lbs. You walk out sweaty, refreshed, and feeling like you can take over the world! I stretched in ways I didn't even know I could stretch. It was great, and now I'm addicted. The teachers are so nice, the facility is beautiful, and the best part - the lemon lavender cold face cloth they place on your forehead at the end of class. OH. MY. GOD. Complete and total bliss.

All for now - I'm going to keep on trucking away! 11 weeks to go!
