Proof Positive – The PINK Method Works (Photo Update)

I can hardly believe how fast time is going.  With a total weight-loss of 27 pounds and an overall total of 21 inches, I honestly look and feel like a new person.  I have not yet reached my total weight-loss goal, but given the amount of success I’ve seen in a relatively short amount of time, I feel even more motivated to continue the work of the PINK Method.

Unfortunately, after consulting my physician,  I am unable to  use the PINK Method workout plan due to knee issues I’ve been dealing with for many years. The form and pace of the workout videos are not conducive to someone like me.  This doesn’t mean the workouts wouldn’t work for others, but after doing a few of them and knowing the form that is encouraged by trainers and health officials, I’ve decided the work out videos put me at risk for knee injury.

The most vital component to my success on the PINK Method  has been the eating plan and cultural mentality about being more in control of my eating habits and willingness to take care of myself. I have not worked out a lot, but my new focus will be to work out more frequently and focus on building additional muscle tone.

I will continue eating the way PINK recommends and have found a fitness program that focuses on the proper form and pacing I’m accustomed to when working out.  I plan to review and share the details of the program on this blog in the next upcoming weeks for those looking for an alternative to the pink workouts. So, stay tuned for that.

Until then, I will share a few more contrast photos showing the progress I feel I have made on the PINK Method Diet.

As always, thank you for reading and for your continued support.

I have more work ahead of me, but I do feel like, for the first time in a long time, I am finding my way back to me…one step at a time.

P.I.N.K.Y. Swear for the New Year

When I was little, the way I showed I was telling the truth and had every intention of keeping a promise was by a pinky swear.  This year, in honor of my decision to follow the P.I.N.K. Method, I am going to do a P.I.N.K.Y. swear right here on this blog.

So, here goes nothing: I promise myself  I will commit to the program and make living healthier a top priority in the new year. To keep me honest, I’ll post my progress week by week. #PinkySwear

What Pinky Swear do you have planned for the New Year?

Welcome to P.I.N.K. Method Mommy

Like many others, I was watching Dr. Phil a few weeks ago and saw what seemed to be the most amazing diet plan  lifestyle overhaul ever.  It’s called the P.I.N.K Method. The developer, Cynthia Pasquella, really taps into the feminine psyche by creating a culture that says it’s okay to be a woman and want to look and feel sexy. It’s biologically part of what women were designed to do. It’s not about being better than or good enough for men. It’s about being the best woman you can strive to be. If you are not where you want to be physically, mentally or spiritually, it is your sole responsibility to get there.

Now that is a brand of feminism I can buy into.

If you missed it and want to go from zero to kick butt in a relatively short-time, check out the website http://www.pinkmethod.com/ for more information.

This blog will be dedicated to my fitness and weight loss journey over the course of the next few months using the P.I.N.K Method. I am using this weight loss plan to get ready for my wedding on June 30, 2012. But the journey won’t stop there.

My journey starts January 2, 2012.  Will You Join Me?
