* a little update *

I've decided to give a little update on my progress with the resolutions I set at the beginning of 2010. It feels so long ago. But, I've been working hard to stick with it! I have NOT had any soda, including DDP. I have NOT had any candy, including all of the wonderful items I pass every day as I walk in through the grocery store to the bank. And I HAVE been working out nearly every day. Needless to say, this is going great for me. And even better, it's going great for my brother, Cory, too. My mom talks about how he's contantly working out. I'm glad we're doing this together, even though we're hundreds of miles away. My favorite part is that we text most days out of the week. It's been fun to talk with him so much. Of course I chat with my sisters all the time and have little convos over the phone. But, it's been awesome to have this little thing with Corihor. (I copied this picture from Tiffanys blog. Thx Tiff.)

So, back to the progress. Everyday, I've been doing something active, whether it be Spin, Yoga, Body Pump or Turbo Kick @ Golds. Or just good old cardio/lifting. And some days, like last night, I'll play volleyball.

(Sidenote: I'm the setter for our rec league team and we play a 5-1, so I set all around. This is only the 2nd wk, so we're still meshing. Anyway, there was a tight pass, so I jumped up and slammed it down. We just happen to be playing these chicks that are all coaches throughout the valley, so they dug it up, but it was such a sweet hit ... I can say that, since I'm usually a setter and NOT a hitter... right? Ya, I'll say it. It rocked. And THEN, the ball kinda went skiwampas, so they ended up just trying to dink it over. Stuff Block from me on the right side!!!! Ya thats right! Take THAT!!) I felt like this chick! Chelsea Goodman! She's AMAZING... and awesome.

Back to the progress again. I get on the Wii Fit every morning to track my progress. It is so smart, that little wii board. Stand on that thing and it'll tell you your BMI (body mass index) and Weight. You can set goals, check your wii fit age and mark your days with a stamp. There are fun graphs that give a cute illustration of what you've done. It's really amazing, which I'm realizing as I jot all of this down. So, long story short, my BMI has decreased 1.2 and I have lost 6.2 lbs since my chubbiest days last yr. I'll take it. And run with it.
