Things are humming along nicely!! I went for a lovely morning bike ride and came back to find a meditation dvd in my mailbox from netflix, so I popped that in and LOVED it. It had a 20 minute yoga series (vinyasa) at the beginning and a guided meditation, and wow, it was really relaxing and actually quite energizing. Yoga is so uplifting to me.. afterwards, I pretty much cleaned everything in the house while listening to funk on pandora and dancing around with my swiffer. I had been really focused on my fitness and forgot to do laundry for the last few days. I might have stinky clothes, but they fit better now! lol
I find that I am really looking forward to working out now and that I'm starting to really see results. I am not to my goal weight yet, but I am looking better and feeling more flexible, and that's a good thing!! I have noticed that even if I get a little sore from working out, if I rest a day, I'm usually fine. I read an article about the branch-chain amino acids (like catalyst by advocare) and wondered what exactly they are supposed to do, and one of the perks is that they help you recover faster, so I'm sure that's why I am able to get up and move the next day under my own power. I am really trying to emphasize quality over quantity, too. I'd rather do 3 crunches correctly than ten incorrectly. It's funny, when the movement is correct, it just clicks, there's a different feeling than just trying to keep up with the movements. Tomorrow is day 22.. wooohoo!!
LOVE!!
See you tomorrow!
