winter fitness/accountability thread

[♥ms.pacman♥]

figure i should start a new thread given it's a new year! and i'm sure there are others that are looking to get back in shape after the holidays!

i think i mentioned before, i joined a Pure Barre studio in June and i have been going 5x a week and it has been great. I see the biggest difference in my arms, and then probably my abs...much more toned. I also got really good about not eating as much (no snacking/eating after 8pm, that was my biggest downfall!). It is by my work so i got really motivated to go. I earned my 100 classes right before Christmas.

Though the past several weeks with the holidays i have really slipped from the bandwagon re: eating. it's been nonstop "bad" food fest since December. Hard to get back in the swing of things when i've been off the wagon for so long.

anyway today I went to Pure Barre at lunch time (50 min). it was HARD..my abs were on fire by the end. i am thinking though i need to do some running as well as i've signed up for a 9mi race in 3 weeks and i've barely trained!! i am thinking of taking kids to go running after work. But the sun sets at 5:40 and then DD has her piano lesson at 6:15 (and thus dinner would have to be at 6:45) so it will be tricky getting it in, especially with hungry kids. We shall see. ah, not enough hours in the day.
