New Life, New Log - by Elizabeth
 

Hello! :wave:

Welcome to my gym log!

Here, I'll be posting my workouts as I sculpt myself a new curvy toned bod with a luscious poping booty :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously, though, I'd 'settle' for good health and a fit body, but a nice round poping booty would be nice, lol!

My journey will be long and hard-fought, so if you want to get to know me better, please feel free to stop by my journal, as well.

So, here's to good health and inspired lives... Happy Reading! :Party:

Oooops, I also forgot to mention in my intro that my husband and I have been married for 1.5 years, and we're hoping to have our first baby soon (hopefully sometime next year). So, I have an extra special reason to get my body in tip-top shape :)

I have to admit, I keep forgetting to update this log :lol:

But, I HAVE been working out hard - mostly strength training...

Next week, I'll be including more cardio, but strength/flexibility training is always my priority.

More details next week :wave:

Today's Workout:

- 1 hr. upper body work (strength training with weights)

I have a nerve bothering me in my back thigh and bum since Thursday, so I have to limit my exercise to upper body only.

Today's Workout:

- Started learning Bikram yoga poses (without heat) with my personal trainer, Aman. I'm trying to prep to attend an actual class because the first time I attended a Moksha yoga class (a similar yoga style to Bikram), I was completely unprepared and VERY embarassed at my lack of flexibility, balance, and endurance! :blush:

The Bikram poses are tough and I do have to modfiy some, so I'm so glad to have Aman help me modify (in addition to being a P.T. she is also a certified yoga teacher - which is why I originally picked her). I can't even imagine doing these asanas (yoga postures) in 105F degree heat, but I'm excited to get there!
