Week 1 Day 1: Moving Meditation Part I!: http://youtu.be/LfYxpHqrPsY

This is the yoga challenge I’m doing and its amazing!  I’m on week 2 day 2 and it kicked my butt in a great way. 🙂

Day 65: Yoga, Tae No and ,Cardio dance boot camp

So today I woke up in such a great mood.  My normal anxious self was at a level 3 vs my normal 8!!! Yippie today is a good day.  I started with a small cup of iced coffee and a big bowl of chicken and bean soup that my hubby made last night.  Now I know chicken and beam soup isn’t a normal breakfast dish but hey its high protein and fiber and has veggies in it so to me it sounds perfect. 

My little princess decided she liked sleep after all and took her morning nap which means mommy got to shake her big old booty to her work out videos. 
First I did day 4 & 5 of the yoga challenge
Then I tried to do Tae Bo. I got about 15 minutes into it and I was over it.  It wasn’t really my thing.  Maybe I will try it again sometime but dang I wasn’t into it. 
So I did my Billy Blank Jr video again :).  It made me feel good and got me sweating big time

So now to keep this motivation.  I’m going to try and eat more clean foods.  Less processed.  I read an article yesterday that said if you have anxiety that eating less processed food may help with panic attacks.  So I figured I would start off small.  Trying to clean up my diet and see what happens.  So far the only thing processed I’ve had today was the three table spoons of creamer. 

If anybody has tips on eating clean or suggestions on how to start this adventure please let me know. 

Hello, my name is crazy! Nice to meet you.

So the last two days have been um less than ideal.  I got the women’s best friend who visits once a month, my daughter has decided she doesn’t like sleep and my leg swelled up.  So all of these events have helped me go a little crazy.  I don’t know which end is up and where I am half the time.  On the plus side I had done the first three days of the new yoga challenge and did a full 40 min work out to my old bestie billy blanks Jr 🙂 so not horrible but then my silly leg swelled up like a balloon 😦 .  I’m hoping to leave crazy town soon.  Let’s hope my baby girl starts to take a nap again so I can go back to my morning routine .

I shouldn’t of done it!!!!

I’ve been eating to heal emotional feelings. Haha like that actually works.   I decided yesterday that today was going to be different I was going to be positive and not be so down.  So I wake up with on the right side of the bed and I tell myself this is normally your day of rest but no you should be active!

But first let’s jump on the scale!!!!   Um OK if your trying to stay positive jumping on the scale after being not on track is not the way to do it.   I’m officially back at 250lbs!!! That’s a 2.2 lb gain in 2 days!!! WTF!!!!!!   OK OK OK I’m not going to let this derail my positive intentions so I did day 3 of the yoga challenge and 35 min of the biggest loser power walking video.    So now to focus on good food choices for the day.

Day 37: Day of Tears

In my Early twenties I lost my Dad. He was an amazing man that made people laugh and always treated people with love and kindness. He was my all time favorite person. What Can i say I was a daddy’s girl still am. When he passed we were fighting which we NEVER did I mean NEVER but I was so mad at him for not taking my side on a fight that my mom and I had. I don’t even remember what the fight was about. I just knew that my dad took my moms side and not mine so I was Super UPSET with him so when Fathers day rolled around I decided I would go out and party with my friends instead of spending it with him. I didn’t know then that would be the last fathers day I had to spend with him. I didn’t realize that he would die later that year. Sadly he did. Something I will never truly be over. Some days are easy and some are hard. Well Today has been soooo hard. Normally the hard days are special occasions you know holidays , On my wedding day , E first birthday all of these things make me miss him and wish he was here. Well Yesterday my Fathers all time favorite Actor Passed away. I know the world is mourning Mr Robin Williams and So is my family we all are so upset it’s like losing my father all over again. I can’t stop crying it’s been raining like crazy and just not feeling like doing anything. Being a Mom means I don’t have a choice about doing stuff I get up and I try and play with E and make her happy and go through the motions. It’s not easy as I rock her for her nap and sing I can’t help but think of what my dad would say about her and how much she would love him. Not only that but how much he would love her. Today is a day of tears. Puffy Eyes and Just sadness.
I did do my 15 min of yoga day 2 of the challenge I plan on going for a run when the rain stops.  Maybe that will help my mood.

 

Please Hug the ones you love and tell them how much they mean to you. Forgive the silly fights that you wont even remember later on. Say Yes when they ask you out for diner. You just never know when you wont have that opportunity again

Day 16 I feel like a Champ

Day 16 of the Do You Yoga 30 day Challenge:  Well It was about doing the splits.  LOL  I can’t do the splits not even close but it helps stretch your leg muscles and work your way up to the splits.  Which was awesome I feel good today not like yesterdays pity party at all.  Today I was focused on every downward dog I was in the zone I was happy and content with doing as much as I could and I didn’t beat myself up for not being able to do some of it. Today is a good day.. Now only if E would realize it. She’s teething and not as happy with today as her mom is.  I’m hoping to get some cardio in today as well since I wimped out half way through yesterday.  This photo was from the first time My Friend Cindy and I Conquered  Bikram Yoga.  We felt powerful and strong.  That’s how I feel today.  Like I’m a powerful women.  I miss Bikram I had to stop when I was Pregnant and haven ‘t had the time or money to go back. I used to go to this amazing Studio Birkam Yoga Falls Church  it was like a family it was wonderful.  I recommend if anyone is ever in the area to go check it out.  It makes you feel like your wonderful and amazing even if you just lay down the first few classes.  One Day I will go back  It’s amazing I’ve never felt as good as i did when I was strong enough to do doubles of Hot Yoga.  I will be there again one day soon hopefully
