Last night after water aerobics a few of us stayed in the pool to do more stretches. To no surprise we started talking about exercise and changing the way we think about food. Jen had some great advice to share. Her motivation and determination is so strong...I really admire her focus. She recently got out of a plateau and now her hard work is starting to show on the scale.

It's so easy to give up on exercising and watching what you eat when the numbers on the scale don't budge. It's the same as going to work everyday but not getting a paycheck! Jen kept going and pushed through her plateau. I really appreciate her for sharing her experiences last night. Talking with Jen and Angie helped me refocus my goals. Thanks ladies!

The My Weigh workout session tonight was really fun. Cathy and Ivy had a series of exercises set up in a rotation. For one minute intervals we did squats on the bosu ball, Superman stretches on the mat, fireman carry, rope swinging, high steps through the rope ladder, weight exercises and so much more. It was amazing how fast the hour flew by. We found particular areas that we need to focus on. I hope we can do it again.

After the work out session it was time for water aerobics. There were eight women in the class...six of them were from My Weigh. It's so amazing how we're feeling more and more comfortable challenging ourselves.

Hope to see you on Wednesday - Trish

Another great Zumba class today. There were five of the My Weigh members there! We were sweaty and out of breath, but we had a really good time. Sarah makes it so much fun. I never thought I would put the words exercise and fun in the same sentence! But it's true.



I always measured a diet's success by pounds & inches. My focus was always the numbers. Unfortunately numbers also measured my failure as I put the weight back on.



One of my favorite parts of My Weigh is that the focus is on changing my attitude. I am learning a whole new way to measure success. Confidence, self-esteem and the power of group support. There's so much more to this than numbers!
