Off to the Pink Pilates Party

So the Lead Pilates studio are putting on a Pink Pilates Party today to raise money for cancer research.  So I am off to go do a number of classes and also to "pink" the instructors.  I am looking forward to making some of them do some of the things that are the worst to do!  I am trying to customize it so that they are things that I feel they particularly make hard in their classes LOL.  Plus I am making one of them do something that I haven't seen before (the full repertoire on the equipment).  I think this is going to be pretty fun to watch. I am definitely looking forward to it!

I am also very much looking forward to getting to do a couple of equipment sessions.  I really do miss doing equipment sessions.  So I am going to eat my lunch here pretty soon, and then I am going to head off and see if I can get some of them "pink", I am sure I will be after my classes I am participating in!

October Pictures and Thanksgiving Thoughts

This Thanksgiving was really great even if I didn't get in as much activity as I should have.  I did get in a good morning workout on Saturday and I "raced" with my little nephew up and down the block a few times on Sunday until we were both "pooped" out.  So while it could have been better activity wise it certainly could have been much worse.

Food wise it was reasonable. Some choices I don't make every day were in the mix.  And not really enough veggies.  But I was accountable for all the choices I made and for the most part they were not terrible.

What was great is that I had quite a lot of fun and got to spend time with my family and with friends.  So that is something well worth giving thanks for.  I am filled with the very real recognition of how blessed I am to have what I have and who I have in my life.

Now on to the pictures that I am tardy once again in getting posted.  The pink shorts are not present in the pictures.  I would like to say I just really chose not to wear them but in actuality I didn't see them anywhere and really didn't want to look for them.  So I guess I made the choice to not look.  I think I will be going with the black shorts for the next while but continuing with my grey shirt that I just can't seem to get that stain out of (but since I only wear it for these pictures it really doesn't get washed very often).  And as a bonus in this picture you can see my new haircut which is not that different from the old except for a few inches shorter and with slightly different bangs.  But I like it! As always click the picture to see a full sized version of it.

Last set of goals

Can't really say I did very well at all at my last set of mini goals.  So here is my review of them:

Fitness Goals

Goal	Improve my Arms!
Target Date	Sept 30
Progress/ Comments	I am hoping the piloxing will help tone them up some **** Didn't do well at this at all unfortunately.  I certainly need to be working on this but I was a bit on the lax side in all my workouts and activity during September so now that October is here I am looking forward to getting myself back on track and really getting things going again.  It is just about one full year now since I started getting myself back to a healthy state of being so time for some freshening up of the commitment and getting back to some of the great things that got me started in the first place!

Food/Eating Goals

Goal	Savour my food
Target Date	Sept 30
Progress/ Comments	Going to slow it down and savour each bite!******* I still definitely struggle with this, the eating without really appreciating it.  Sometimes just eating whatever it is pretty mindlessly.  But at least the what I am eating is tending to be better choices far more often now than a year ago, so at least there is that!  But will continue to think about this on a regular basis and keep trying to work on it!
