So I said I would post and here it goes.
April 30th Measurements:
Hips: 44in Chest: 39in Thighs: 26in
Biceps: 12in Waist: 33in.
Not a lot of movement in terms of weight loss. As mentioned my weight was 166 pounds and it's now 163-164. So nothing special, that said I didn't do much to make a dent in terms of portioning. I ate healthy though. As for the measurements, I lost 2in in my chest, 1in in my hips, but the greatest result was the 5in lost in my waist! Not a lot but again it wasn't a month of yoga where we pushed through intense hour long yoga classes. They all felt great, I feel better over all and I am happy that I saw some results.
I am so happy to report...30 days of early freaking mornings...30 days of Yoga....I DID IT!!! Move over Challenge number 1...I proved that I could do it and do what a few thought I wouldn't be able to. I said if I could do it, I can do anything. I am ready to take on new challenges to better my life, challenge myself and while on the path learn a lot about myself as well.
As we head into May tomorrow I spent a few moments doing a monthly budget, planning for what needs to get done and what I would like to get done.
In May I would like to get:
-front room fireplace wall painted RED! Adding color to my life :) Hope to have that done this weekend.
-flower beds dug/set up and hopefully some planting done (More mid to end of May)
-blood work done on both our male dogs to see how our nearly 14yr old Chihuahua is doing as well as our soon to be 8yr old poodle.
I intend to continue with Yoga. I enjoy it and the way it has made me feel is worth continuing. I may only go 3-4 times a week or I may go 5+ times. It's something I have in the budget for myself.
Now as for May's Challenge! Dun dun dun!!!!

Here are the 30 Day Marriage Challenges
Each day I will write which I did as well as how it went.:) He may be clueless that I have done anything on some of these however there is something to be said about a person doing things for others and I am sure at the end of the month I will feel good that he was my focus. It's rare as parents and busy parents at that, that we do much now. Sad to say we don't do lot for anniversaries, birthdays and I cannot recall the last time we went on a date. Perhaps this simple but important challenge will help us to reconnect and change things going forward.
It's exciting to set challenges that are do-able, what's even better is reaching the end of the month and saying...."I DID IT!!" It feels great today. I cannot wait to be able to say the same again 30 days from now. Heck, it'll feel even better to see some stuff crossed off the To Do list as well like the red wall painted. May = Feel Good. :)
My 2013 year long challenge is to remain a non-smoker & to complete the 52 week Money Challenge. Presently we are on week 18!
