Put Up or Shut Up!
TGIF!
Oh man what a wonderful Friday. Why you ask?
5 reasons:
1. I have barre n9ne tonight with the lovely Jess from EatDrinkBreatheSweat
2. I have NO WORK this weekend! Hooray! I was onsite last weekend and between being “on” and traveling I was spent come Monday.
3. I get to have a girly lunch and pedicure with my Mom on Sunday.
4. I have a barre n9ne class with Jo from Determined To Be on Sunday
5. I feel like I’ve hit a point in my life where I have balance. I love my job. I love my family. I found a hobby that is good for my body and my soul. I’m so exactly where I need to be, it’s not even funny!
I am also happy to say today is day 18 on Lent and I don’t miss desserts! OK….that’s a lie. I DO miss desserts, but I haven’t cheated or had a craving headache or cried and screamed when thinking about dessert! LOL.
I have seriously upped my fruits and veggies intake – which I think is helping my body get more on track.
I haven’t started juicing yet. I’m still back and forth about doing it for a 10-day stretch. Everyone says the first two days are the worst – I need to find 2 days where I won’t be risking meetings / work commitments in order to begin.
I’ve mentioned a few times how excited I am to be taking barre n9ne classes in person (as opposed to just virtually, which I had been doing since the summer). I can’t tell you what a change I feel in my body after just 6 in-person classes! I leave a sweaty mess and then I feel sore and strong and amazing within a few hours. Knowing how HARD I work at the barre forces me to make better choices. Thirsty? Drink water. Hungry? Find protein/fruits/veggies. My whole attitude has really changed. I think I’m at a point where I am sick of carrying the same fat around for 20-something years. I realize I can’t keep doing what I always did and expecting different results. I need to put up and shut up!
I’m even more excited because Tanya just announced they are opening a sister location in Andover! Hello super close! HOORAY!

You would love the workout girly! You totally have to come try it.
Hmmm, sounds like the weekend is two days without work and might be a decent opportunity to start juicing…
If you continue with Barre9 in Andover, I’d love to perhaps join you post-baby to get myself back in shape. Andover is super close to North Reading and I won’t be working (but I’ll be a mom, so I guess I will be on unpaid work, lol).
So excited for you!!! You deserve so much happiness!
I can’t wait to meet Orion! We’ll have a barre date after he’s born! Xo
I love seeing you at the studio and I love that Andover is even closer for you!!!!! You are going to do awesome in the skinny jean challenge I know it
thank you for being fabulous AND for loving barre n9ne!
Thank you for being so encouraging! I love b9!
I am a bit behind in my reading, but I’m glad I waited until I really had time to digest this. It’s so wonderful to hear such great things. I know what you mean about doing the same thing but wanting different results. It seems many people fall into that, myself included. Always a good reminder that you have to get uncomfortable in order to see something different. It’s within that comfort zone that usually keeps me stalled. Congrats on being in such a good place!
