Today marks the first day of week 3 of my Whole30 trial. At first it seemed impossible and I definitely thought I was going to give up by the 2 week mark, but now that I'm in the swing of things, it's gotten a lot easier. These are my meals from yesterday (not included are … Continue reading What I ate Wednesday on the Whole30

Whole30 Trial
Starting on Thursday, my husband and I will be doing a month of the Whole 30 diet. It's basically just eating really clean, whole foods for 30 days. There is a lot to it, some science, a lot of positive reviews, but really we're trying it as an elimination diet to see if anything specific … Continue reading Whole30 Trial
Let's Get Flexy In 2015 {Yoga Challenge}
A new yoga challenge starts on Sunday. This month, I'm participating in the Let's Get Flexy in 2015 challenge, hosted by Kino MacGregor and Kerri Verna, and sponsored by Aloyoga. There are two other challenges that I was considering doing. I was tagged by an Instagram friend for a backbend challenge, and @missbcross, who hosted … Continue reading Let's Get Flexy In 2015 {Yoga Challenge}
Be Strong in 2015 – Week 2 {Yoga Challenge}
The poses for the week were all pretty fun, with the exception of Baby Crow. The last pose, Samanasana, I'd never done before and was super awkward, but in a fun, 'glad I'm trying this at home and not in public' kind of way.

Weekly Workouts + Weekend Update
This past week started off pretty average, workout wise. I tried one of the new workouts that I pinned (Burn 100 calories in 10 minutes: Do this total body workout at home!) and was very underwhelmed. It was a decently tough workout, and I pushed hard, and only burned about 48 calories as per my … Continue reading Weekly Workouts + Weekend Update

A New Year of Workouts
I started 2015 off very casually, in yoga pants, sitting by the fire, drinking a mimosa-type drink with Buddha ice cubes, jotting down some notes in my new planner, and just talking with my husband. It was nice and relaxing, and we just barely made it to midnight. I've pinned a couple of new easy … Continue reading A New Year of Workouts

For January, I'm going to do two yoga challenges, one hosted by Kino MacGregor and Kerri Verna (BeStrongIn2015), and Bend Into the New Year, pictured above, hosted by MissBCross and Karma_Bhakti. The last time I did two challenges in the same month, they had a lot of overlapping poses, but I'm really excited to do this … Continue reading January Challenge – Bend Into The New Year and Thoughts on Yoga Teacher Training
December's Yoga Challenge – Just Be Present – Week 1
Decemeber's challenge is all about poses that require you to be present. These are some of my favorite poses because they aren't necessarily difficult, but require concentration. One of my main reasons for practicing yoga is to take my mind off of every day things and practice being more "in the moment". The first few … Continue reading December's Yoga Challenge – Just Be Present – Week 1
