Think good and it will be good!

This is one of my hubby's favorite sayings! We have the power to change things for the good through our thoughts. When we feel we will succeed we will! When we feel we will pass the test we will! This week I've been thinking about this allot. Is my subconscious keeping me from being at the place I see as perfection?(health wise) or is it a lack of effort? This morning I took an hour and twenty minute yoga class, as my muscles were burning and shaking and i was contemplating quitting the pose, I heard my subconscious argue 'the harder you work the better your results will be...na I've been working out for years...yes but this is different this is new...bla bla bla' I then consciously said (almost out loud) think good and it will be good! By the time my skitzo convo was over it was time to shift positions and move on! I felt good, I felt empowered, so my mantra now (at least for yoga) is think good thoughts, think I can, think I will!! Any hoots good news I didn't gain this week (didnt lose either) but for a week that I didn't really diet I'm glad! Have a great week my friends!

Walking against the tide

Ever feel like your walking against the tide? Your pushing thru a crowd that's heading in the opposite direction? I have one area in my life that I've felt like this....no I feel like this! I always have! And that's my weight :( it just doesn't seem right:( Maybe in a previous life I was a skinny pretentious bitch who mocked those who were heavy hmmm more likely a fat pretentious bitch who mocked the thin cuz rounder people were looked at as rich and healthy...maybe during the time of corsets my previous life pulled so tight and got my waist so tiny i used my thin genes up... Or maybe it's New karma?! Have I recently done something? Maybe it's psychological? I've heard that before! Should I find a therapist?! Delve into the inner workings of my flub? Your probably wondering where this is all coming from (or not) so I'll share.. I've been doing yoga (I love it! It's amazing, my body feels tested-in a good way) so this morning I set my alarm for 515 so I could leave by 545 to make my 615 class. It was hard getting out of bed but I know how good it makes me feel so I dug deep pulled out some strength and got my hiney out of bed. At some point I forgot the class was at 615 and thought it was 630 so I left my home at 6 wondering why I had plenty of time to check Facebook and do some dishes.I pulled up to flow yoga studio at 620 thinking 'perfect timing' went up stirs and saw the class already in session. I left, went home, got dressed and took lots of deep breaths. So the good- I could likely go to the 430 class because my amazing husband is so supportive, and I now have an hour to study for my test on Tuesday. But, it still is so frustrating to me that I work so hard and it just doesn't seem to pan out (in this part of my life) thanx guys for listening to my ramble! Have a great day! I'd love to hear feedback feel free to leave a comment or txt/call/email me! :)

I'm a yogi!

My weight is scary I am back up to that scary 2 number but I've been tracking my food for 2days. I feel I'm on a good track. I went to venyassa hot yoga yesterday and today it makes me feel calm cool and collected. I'm amazed at the way my body is being tested, I'm inspired to work harder and reach higher yoga heights. I'm excited to continue, there's so much to achieve so much to get to. I'm blown away at how focused and calm I was when I walked into class today. Any hoots it feels great!

Rearrange, Reframe, Reboot

Im stealing this from a friends facebook status "Rearrange, Reframe, Reboot. Being upset is just a shift in your original expectations. Everything happens for a reason, so choose to make yourself happy NOW and see the good in what YOU can do out of the situation at hand." 


This works so well for what I wanted to blog about today. 
I have a problem...when I hit 10lbs lost I hit a plateau when I hit a plateau I lose my umph when I lose my umph I dont lose weight...argh!
I know this type of problem can be rooted psychologically...
Ive been dieting for to many years 21 to be exact and Im only 29! I need to stop thinking about dieting constantly. But to be honest I dont know how to do that and not get super fat. 
Help...Id love advice. 
So looking back at my opening sentence...Being upset is just a shift in your original expectations...Yes when I restarted Weight Watchers I was determined for it to work...but its not....Everything happens for a reason...O it sure does!...So choose to make yourself happy now and see the good in what YOU can do out of the situation at hand...in regards to my weight this will be hard. 
But I have a choice...give up now...or try try try again. I thats what I will do. Starting sunday morning I will track better, be more conscious of what I should do, exercise more...and stop hitting myself on my head for not being where I want to be. 

On another note I plan to try a hot yoga studio here in Pittsburgh I absolutely LOVED it in NY but its a diff style yoga...so time will tell!!!
