I Workout 2012

New Year, New Me!

Well, at least a better one.
Remember, tomorrow you can always be better.

I'm guest posting at Pamela's blog Our Love Nest today about eating healthier,

Paleo, to be exact.

"Diets" don't work for me.
But this one continues to work really well for a good friend of mine!

I just need to eat cleaner ie. more veggies & fruits! no more cookies & crap

We eat a lot of organic, whole foods, but the holidays were extra tasty.

I have also started moving a lot more and I can already feel a difference.

I love Zumba

But I know I need to build muscle and add more cardio each week.

I tried IM=X Pilates last week.

IM whaaat?

I haven't really taken a Pilates class, so I had no clue what to expect.

We had a yoga mat, a body bar, and this thing:

 I thought I was fairly graceful, 

until this thing went in between my legs!

The instructor made it look so easy.

As did the 70+ grammas sportin purple velour jumpsuits.

I was literally laughing at myself.

And I got frustrated because I didn't feel like I worked out.

That day.

The next day and the day after--HOLY ABS! 

{or area in which said abs should be}

It felt great.

I will be going back!

Other workouts:

-Treadmill
-Stationary Bike
-Hubs just bought one of those stability balls,

so we've been crunching on that.

-Yoga 

I enjoy classes at the Y or home DVDs my two faves:

Jillian Michaels

Body by Bethenny 

 -I also walk/jog/run both dogs 45 minutes, which I love doing

-I tried a Bodypump Class

I did not love it. I didn't like the music.

I didn't love the instructor. I am not sure I even liked the concept.

I'll try it again, maybe it was just a first time thing.

I certainly don't love going to the gym.

However, I do love the feeling that I am taking care of my health.
I love feeling good and therefore that transcends into looking good.

I don't want to get all mixed up on numbers on a scale, but I do judge how my clothes feel.

And right now, my Sevens Jeans are not happy with me.  

I think they miss my smaller booty.

What are your workouts? 

I'm tempted to track mine like Alison over on her blog

Life and Times of Alison & Justin

Is she not awesome or what?! 

 What do you think?

I love new workouts--
