Tracy Anderson Method

Got a bit off track with this blog..I tried to start a tumblr where I posted a picture every day of the year, but once I missed a day I was mad that i wasn't going to have every day and then I started skipping more and it kind of fell apart.
So looking back at my last post I can see how unhappy I was with my body and so uncomfortable in my own skin. So I went through the holidays and Hawaii pretty fat and happy.  Really I was kind of happy, I knew I was heavy, but I was content with the knowledge of it and knew I wasn't really trying to diet or workout as much.  I mean I'm sad I wasn't skinny for Hawaii but oh well..it was three months ago and I ate deliciously and had a blast while I was there.  So when I got back from Hawaii I decided that I needed to keep the new years resolution of getting back to the weight I was when I was done with gymnastics.
I started with my usual routine and diet, but only lost a few pounds.  Then I discovered Tracy Anderson's new dvd workout Metamorphasis.  I blame Gywneth Paltrow and her glee appearances for peaking my interest, but hey I'm so glad I found it.  I'm currently on day 16 of my hipcentric TAM and already down to 132, the number I weighted out at the end of gym last summer.  It's a 90+ day workout where your workout changes every 10 days and it is hard! I am going to be bikini ready and I am working for it!
Yesterday, I ran the Santa Monica stairs down and up 5 times! And this morning I cannot walk, ouchies! But it feels good. I'm not following Tracy's diet, just eating healthy, but now that I have time to go tothe grocery store and my moms food processor I am going to try to eat some of the food on the diet.  Anyways, its a beautiful day here and I want to lay out by the pool and read my book in my bikini and get some sun :)

When my roommate left, I was feeling really lonely, insecure, and strange.  This big city felt so unfamiliar and scary, like I didn't belong and I was really homesick for Boise. But then I found out my best friend from highschool moved close by, the sun started coming out, and I might have a new roommate soon and everything is starting to feel right again in LA.
