It's been so long, let me reintroduce myself.

Hello to the people who read my 'other' blog! It has been months (and months and months) since I last posted here and I'd like to start up again. Here's a quick update:

-I've moved to the mountainous country of Pagosa Springs, Colorado, where everyone shops from REI and LOVES the outdoors. Do I feel like a fish out of water? Most definitely. People talk of their usual activities and hardly ANY of it is just sitting. Hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, rafting, biking - all of the healthy, crunchy, granola-and-energy-drink guzzling activities you'll ever find in Adventure Magazine. And I mostly just stare blankly at them. However, as out of place as I feel, I do want to use some of my free time to huff and puff alongside of their easy stride to try to get back on the hors... I mean, treadmill.

-I have been weighing myself occasionally, and this morning it read 146.6, which is the kindest the scale has been since the end of my first trimester. Yay =)

-I took a pilates class this morning. I thought it was going to be yoga mats and resistance bands. What it turned out to be was a big, fat, serious workout on one of these:

 I will be going back again, but probably not until I can settle into ANY kind of routine. This won't happen until after I get back from NJ in April.

In the meanwhile, I'll be busting out the two sets of dumbbells (both very lightweight), the balance ball and the balance board, and all of my workout DVD's. This time, I'll try to do more than just give a slight glance at them and actually get off my patootie and do any of the workouts.

Here's to finding the motivation.... again!
