Today is a yoga day!

Today I woke up with a back ache, so I had my coffee and a chicken red pepper wrap and decided that yoga was my best bet to ease my pain but still getting a work out in. I started with standing poses and then worked my way down onto the mat. I worked up a sweat with this low impact work-out. Also my mood and back is more calm. I think I will finish up my house work and head out into the heat for a little walk or perhaps later I'll do another dance off in my living room. The possibilities are endless.

Panic to calm

Today when I woke up I was really sleepy still so I started to panic about working out before work. Then I realized that yesterday I didn't work out till noon and today I'm only scheduled to work till 1pm so I'll just do it when I get home... now I feel the calm! I'm also concentrating on what I put in mouth so I started with 2 cups of water, 2 cups of coffee ( I know I should get down to one or even green tea) and then a blueberry pomegranate yogurt. Feeling pretty good! Go me!!!

The first day of the rest of my life!

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I actually woke up early in the morning, I was in a good mood. I wanted to get things accomplished. I got up had breakfast and coffee and watched a movie. Then I started laundry and then I was ready to get fit. I got on Pandora and I started a workout channel. It was dance music so I just started dancing and then I decided to throw in jumping jacks every 5 minutes. I started with 20 and then 30, 40 and then 50. I did this for the first 20 minutes the last ten minutes I danced a little slower did stair steps and then walked around slowly for the last 5 minutes. I was sweaty, but feeling quite accomplished, I moved for 30 minutes non-stop. I felt like I conquered the world, not ready to stop there I put in 20 minutes of beginners pilates. This feeling made me realize it was time to work on the rest of my life so I finished up my resume and emailed it in. I really hope to get a call back for an interview I think it would be a great job for me. I want to be fulfilled, I don't want to sit around all day I want to be busy! I want to move my butt! I think I'll throw in a walk this evening and a little yoga to calm me before bed. New life here I come!
