Aspen Club and Spa

Hello all,

 As you can see I was able to have the privilege of the Aspen Club and Spa set me up with a blog of my own. My trainer Tom spoke to Sarah about placing me in “People” magazine which is a once in a lifetime chance for me. Nothing exciting really ever happens in my life. So I figured ‘hey why not, this is my chance to show everyone that they too can be motivated by a “real” person. Not an actor or actress that just wants to lose 5-10 measly pounds.’  Since I was excited about the whole idea, Sarah also mentioned to me about a blog and how you all can keep track of my results and weight loss adventure through my 3 months in the Law Enforcement Academy. This Sunday I leave to set up my dorm room. I must say… this might be my longest 3 months ever. Aspen Club and Spa is very much like my second home. I will deeply miss all the staff members who are always smiling at me and my trainer Tom… who always says “okay, ready”, when I walk in for a good workout.  I will be coming back on July 21 to do the 5K run/walk with my trainer in Aspen. We will most likely have lots to talk about. Every day I see him we always come up with something to either talk or joke about. I should set up a massage on Saturday before I head out for boot camp… HeHe…

Here is something for all of you:
Enjoy life to its’ fullest…live it day to day, not year to year.

Yoga. Whether it’s Vinyasa, Restorative, Bikram or done via a tape in the comfort of your living room, Yoga is for everyone. Fitness and staying in shape has always been important to me. As a young girl I was a gymnast, in high school I ran track, played hoops and was a pretty darn good soccer player…until I injured my knee, tearing my anterior cruciate ligament. That ended my hard core sporty gal days, but I wanted to stay in shape. Alas, working out in a stale gym environment was not for me. Exercise should be fun! I wanted a workout where I could reap the benefits for mind and body while feeling great.

I discovered Yoga through friends, and found it literally, “ah-mazing.” Not only does Yoga tone and strengthen the entire body, but it calms the mind. In this crazy world, how often do we stop and connect with our breath? When one steps on the Yoga mat, and dedicates that hour or 30 minutes just for them, the world melts away. Stretching, bending, moving with grace, all in sync with our sweet breath and vital heartbeat. In addition to increased flexibility, agility, and a sense of calm that soon graces the face of practicing yogi’s, did you know Yoga has health benefits such as flushing out the organs and supplying fresh oxygen and blood throughout the body? It can also be said Yoga provides a connection between ourselves and this earth, a historical spirit and practice that’s been around a long time. Perhaps the greatest thing about Yoga is that anyone can partake, it transcends age and location, sex or body type, and any time to start Yoga is a great time. Enjoy, and Namaste. Deb Weisman
