Fell Off the Wagon

My weight's plateaued ... I got so frustrated and splurged yesterday - ate a bunch of junk - ramen, chex mix, and pasta!

Sigh, now I feel like crap AND feel fatter. Getting back on the wagon today ... Gotta eat clean so I can look good for summer!

Sorry for the lack of posts - it's exam season. Just give me 2 weeks and I plan on updating a lot this summer!

Best Feeling in the World

The best feeling in the world is working out, working up a good dripping sweat, then showering, scrubbing down, and moisturizing with BBW Twisted Peppermint lotion.

Usually, I just scrub down with a loofah, but today I used my Philosophy Gingerbread Man scrub and it felt and smelled so divine. LOVE.

The BBW lotion is an addiction of mine - it seriously feels amazing, especially after a workout or on a hot summer day. You feel all relaxed from the workout, and the mint in the lotion leaves you feeling all tingly so that it seems like all the body heat you built up in your workout just melts away. It's a Christmas seasonal product, so I always hoard it whenever it comes out.

It always takes me forever to get my butt motivated enough to get in the gym, but I just force myself to pull on my socks and get myself in -- once I'm in, I get it going! The hardest part is always getting started but I feel so good after, it's worth it!

This is my daily routine and it feels so good that I feel like I'm pampering myself. What do you ladies do to pamper yourselves?

The Tracy Anderson Method

Tracy Anderson is a celebrity trainer who trained Madonna for a long time, and is responsible for the sleek, tiny physiques of Gwyneth Paltrow, Courtney Cox, and a slew of other celebrities. I became interested in her method when she covered Fitness Rx for Women a while back and read about how she believed that any woman could change her body structure into the "teeny tiny" figure that Hollywood loves.

She's all about doing dance-inspired moves and lots of repetitions with low weights so as to exhaust the main muscles and engage the accessory muscles to create tone without bulking up. I've begun doing some of her exercises I found in various magazines and on youtube, and they've been so effective that I ordered her mat workout dvd on amazon and can't wait to get it. I'll post an update once it arrives and I have a chance to try it out.

You can learn more about her at her website.
