What a week!

From my littlest one getting sick over New Years, allergic reaction to Penicillin, to now both my boys having the stomach flu...ugh...I am exhausted!  What a week!

I was able to squeeze in a hot yoga session and a spinning class at least!  Oh, and because of my amazing husband supporting me, I also went to a Canucks game and had a Partylite show.  It was busy, that is for sure - but like I've said previously, I am expecting my lifestyle to change dramatically.

Ever since I started working out and exercising, I have stopped taking my anti-anxiety medication...something to look into medically.  I feel better than I have in 10 years, all because I am taking time to watch what I eat and exercise. 

The spinning class I went to on Wednesday was a lot easier than I thought it would be.  I swear, 10 years ago when I used to spin a lot at the gym, at least 3 days a week, the classes were harder.  Not to say I didn't work up a big sweat, as well I was very "bottom" sore for the next couple of days, LOL.  The instructor I talked to before the class began kept reassuring me that this class was extremely hard, and all the people in it were regulars and if I had a hard time just to 'cool down' and take it easy.  I totally felt like she was judging me, how happy was I when I finished her class!  I kinda felt like sticking my tongue out at her, yeah real mature! :)

In just a few minutes I am off to my first Bootycamp with a bunch of girls from this group 90Days2Life.  Tomorrow is hot yoga again, ahhhh, what a life!  As my husband held me last night, he said he has already noticed a difference, just in how tight my skin is getting.  Yes!  From a size 14 now, down to a 6 for summer.  Wish me luck!

  1. Wow Joanne, I am impressed. I would like to shed a few pounds myself, but have to wait at least 3 more weeks before I can startworking out again. ( not allowed to do any sports for 6 weeks due to the surgery).Nice Andrew is so supportive too. With Rich on the road all the time I can only work out in school time.

    Now that I had my ear fixed the world is a bigger place for me but I am still not to sure how I want to fill that in. So many ideas and plans, but what I need is a plan to schedule all those plans. I need a personal organizer:), (and a personal trainer, a housekeeper and a babysitter).

    Hope the boys are feeling better soon! Allergic reaction to penicillin? That is scary.

    Keep it up Joanne.You are inspiring me!
