I think the unwritten resolution(s) for us involve being happy enough with ourselves (individually) to go wedding dress shopping in March or April. That gives us another three months or so to make it happen! Crissy is doing awesome and I have no doubt that she'll look great when we do go try some dresses on! (Though, it should be noted that I think she looks great now....). I certainly won't be at any type of goal weight by April, but I'm hopful to be smaller, have lost some weight - and perhaps even more importantly - inches.
Workouts are changing starting tomorrow - and I'm super excited! Friday night I went to the launch of Body Flow, a fusion class of pilates, tai chi and yoga. I've been scared (for lack of a better word) to try it for the full two and a half years I've been a member of the gym. See, I used to take pilates - almost religiously. When I worked for COUNTRY, I took pilates twice a week for years. I loved it. It was relaxing, while at the same time making notable changes in the shape of my body. Body Flow is even better, in some ways. One of my favorite parts? The ten minutes of relaxation/meditation at the end. So, having started today, it is my new Sunday morning workout. And, when doing it - I look something like this, I'm sure (except I'm a girl):
Also starting this week is the Biggest Loser competition at the gym. Eight weeks of challenging workouts by Sam, weekly assignments and Saturday morning challenges. What's in store for us this Saturday morning? An RPM cycling challenge....the first couple to hit 30 miles wins the challenge and a gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods. We're totally game. What makes it even better? Crissy likes to bike....and does so regularly at the gym. Beyond that, I'm committing myself to get back on track to going to Body Attack every Thursday night - even with my Thursday morning workouts with Sam. Body Attack kicks my ass....it is absolutely everything the name implies....but it's so good! And, the most exciting part of my regime change? I get to start Pilates Reformer training with Sam on Friday. Due to some really great people in our families, I had enough saved from my birthday and Christmas to pay my part of Biggest Loser and Reformer training. I am beyond excited for Fridays at noon!!! In case you don't know what reformer training is, it's a machine that helps you keep your form for doing pilates and looks like this:
I get to have a great balance of cardio, butt kicking groups and classes, calming yoga-like classes, individual training sessions and challenging pilates reformer sessions all each week now. Come on changes!!! If this doesn't keep me on track and result in significant changes - I don't know what will.
I'd like to try on a wedding dress and have this reaction:

Want to know what we say? Bring it on!!!
