My first NSV!

I'm short, 27 years old, and I have no excuses for being overweight. I joined MFP about 2 months ago in the hopes of losing 15-25 lbs., but I also needed something to FORCE ME to be active and stay active.

My weight loss has been as slow as molasses. I'm still the same size that I was 2 months ago. I haven't been taking my measurements but I don't "feel" like I've lost any weight.

BUT.

Today I completed a yoga challenge at the studio I practice at!

I started doing yoga in Dec. but I was only going sporadically and I wasn't committed. Anything and everything was an excuse to stay home and not go to class. If my husband didn't feel like going, I also stayed home. If there was something good on TV, I stayed home. I was really stuck in a rut!
This summer, for a reduced rate, my studio offered 20 passes from July 1 to Labour Day. After labour day they expire, so the incentive to go was built in (who wants to waste their money right?)

I can HAPPILY say that I did my 20 classes, I feel more committed to yoga than ever before and I have a ton of motivation to continue my practice even during the school year (I'm a high school teacher and sometimes my hours and the studio's hours don't match up :ohwell: ). I don't depend on other people to go to class, I'm definitely improving my balance and alignment and I can't wait to keep pushing myself.

My first NSV!

  • Great job! Keep up the good work, being able to do yoga anything is impressive to me. I'm sure the other results will follow.

    some people may not realize that the committment itself is a HUGE victory! you commit, and you will see the results, guranteed!

    congratulations, that's wonderful to do 20 yoga classes!! I can barely tackle the Wii Fit yoga :ohwell: I think my next step is to go to a gym regularly :wink:
