Pure Relief

Finally I was able to get into PB today. I had to take off the past two days for meetings, but today was a PERFECT class to come back too! Chasity had my thighs shaking like I was taking class for the first time, and I loved it!! I did get on the scale yesterday and...big time downer I actually gained a pound...NO GOOD!! So it's time for me to really buckle down and watch my diet and make sure to give 110% at PB!! Hopefully this will be the only set back I'll have.

As for the diet, that is still my down fall!! Thanks though to Allison for the great baked apple chip idea, I'm going to make them tonight and hopefully tomorrow instead of grabbing for a hand full of chips I'll grab some apple chips!! I'm also upping my PB workout and going to the intensive class on Sunday so I'm  sure that will kick me right back on track!! I'll be posting my weight again on Tuesday :) (fingers crossed)

82 Days To Reach My Goals!!

After posting my measurements yesterday, I've come to my goals!! I would like to lose 8 pounds by the wedding and 2 inches from my waist. Can this be done? I HOPE SO!! I had another amazing class today at PB given by Megan, which I needed a hard class to ,at least somewhat, balance out the cheese sticks and pizza I ate last night with Jeremy (hey you have to cheat sometimes right?!).

The attending PB at least 5 times a week and using Jeremy's TRX thing and exercise ball is easy because I love it, however sticking to a hardcore diet is for sure my down fall!! If anyone has any great diet tips or foods that keep you full PLEASE let me know!! My handful of almonds before workout didn't cut it today!! But for now it's time to catch up and watch The Bachelor with Allison and a glass of red wine (only 1 glass!!).

Pure Honesty!!!

     Well today is the day where I tell the world my measurements and weight...YIKES!!! I can't wait to see how Pure Barre is going to help me drop inches and weight for the big dress, or should I say small dress :)

• Weight: 116 pounds
• Waist: 28 1/2 inches
• Hips: 36 1/4 inches
• Thighs: 18 1/2 inches

     Today was my first Pure Barre (PB) class after actually knowing my measurements, and I felt like really pushing myself!! Megan (the PB instructor) made it easy for me to motivate myself to push my hips lower than the bar and rise higher on my tippy toes during class through the thigh workout by her encouraging words and peppy attitude. Now, my next goal for PB is to really push myself during the seat portion of the class. The words "Squeeze and lift" and still in my mind right now, I can't wait till tomorrow night to "really get after it" as Megan would say!! Now onto planning my eating plan for this week...

Pure workout!!

     Well I have 84 days until the big day and big debut of me in my amazing wedding dress!! The thought of that is very scary; however it won't be scary for long with the help from the amazing instructors at Pure Barre Louisville. For those of you who don't know I found a new addiction...the Pure Barre workout. Pure Barre instructors have actually made me look forward to working out (never thought I would say that)!! For those people who haven't heard of this workout, you are majorly missing out!! In Pure Barre you use an actually ballet bar and your own body weight to lift, tone, and burn all the most important areas of your body!! Ladies the focus is perfect with emphasis on your thighs, seat, and abs (plus you get a killer arm workout in the warm up).
     Anyway, the purpose of me starting this blog is to track my wedding workout and progress I am making. I will be sharing how I am preparing and how Pure Barre is transforming my body for the big debut. I will be posting my weight (very scary to do on the internet for all to see!) and my measurements tomorrow. If I get brave enough I will post my before and after pictures for all to see. I'm hoping by starting this blog, it will keep me on track for my goals and allows me to share my experiences with my new favorite place...Pure Barre!!
