Today was a Pilates morning. I use Windsor Pilates. My chiropractor recommended it, and I've enjoyed it ever since. The DVD I have uses the Pilates circle. It is a 20min. workout. I can feel the burn in my legs!
I decided to alternate Pilates and yoga, because yoga seems less . . . Intense? But I think yoga is kicking my ass more than Pilates!
Once this month is over, I'm considering getting a membership to the gym. Pilates and yoga are nice and work muscle differently, but I need to cardio. I still wonder if 20min/day of DDR will count. I already have, so I won't have to shell out more cash. Unfortunately, I will need to push a lot of furniture out of the way. When we moved our living room space kind of went down. In our previous house, the living room space was so large that it had to be turned into two rooms. Needless to say, I had enough space!
It kind of feels weird doing all this stuff without starting the diet change. I tell myself that I need to get in the habit of exercising one way or the other. You know what? This has been my first full week of doing exercise! I'm so proud of myself. The weather looks nice, so maybe we can get Juneau out hiking. That counts as aerobic activity, right?
I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to have weigh-ins and measurements. As stated earlier, I want to lose the weight, but I don't want it to become the focus. It would be nice to see my progress . . . But I still have reservations ._.

I'm about 4 months into my journey and I just found your blog, here's my opinion :)
If you do nothing, do measurements. They are awesome motivation and remind me, even when the scale isn't moving, there are changes happening. I do them once a month.
As for weigh ins, meh, go with your gut. If you don't want them to be the focus, do them monthly too. Either way, use them for encouragement, not detriment! (easier said than done)
You can do this :)
Thanks for the advice! I was thinking about keeping the measurements/weigh-ins monthly or bi-monthly. I was telling my husband that it would be nice to follow any progress made. If I did them, it would definitely be used as encouragement. Also the goal rewards people give themselves are awesome! Lol, it would be nice to have an "excuse" to treat myself to a spa! Lmao
