..Do our bodies change over time, or is this just a myth?
I find I need the answer to this in order to psychologically move on past this point in my life with purpose & inspiration.. It feels far more difficult than it has previously for me to lose weight. Not a ton..just the 10 pounds it takes for me to feel comfortable in my own skin again. That makes me not dread going to dress myself in the morning (and keep reaching for the black~empire waisted~jersey dresses). I do not have the same will power for not eating at night (my biggest proven strategy)..and when I am good about it, I find it takes a lot longer to make a difference (which is of course discouraging enough for me to go ahead and split the pizza with Jake for dinner..leaving me in this particular place...frustrated to the point of hopelessness). I need to find what works for my body (and spirit) now..since it's obviously evolving. I still have a die hard love for pilates. I even have the Winsor pilates dvd series that kicks my ass. Do I need to start doing one on one sessions in order for me to see the change I'm craving? I've been referred to someone I'm sure is amazing..she even has her studio on Balboa which sounds like a dream situation. One problem: there go any non~fitness~related financial goals I have (which is not acceptable to me). So, it's back to the dvds. I have this sneaky suspition that consistency is my missing link between the way my body has worked in the past & my new slightly more mature body. This is going to be a hard lesson for me as it's one of my biggest weaknesses. I am not resigned to giving up just because the rules have changed on me. After all..I still have visions of me in my 40's looking like Elle McPherson, or Gabrielle Anwar..

..or better yet, like me at my best.
(guess that means I should toss the ciggies too..)
