Today was my 15th day of yoga this month, thus completing my monthly challenge to practice yoga 15 times this month. Woohoo. My yoga has gotten much better throughout the month, especially because I’ve been spending time doing extra upper body and core strengthening moves in the evenings or after cardio workouts.

My class today was with my favorite instructor. It was a fun and challenging class. We did some balancing half moon and warrior 3 work. After class, my instructor spotted me in a headstand, which was super helpful. She showed me how to place my hands and arms, and told me not to kick in to it, but to use my core. Which, of course, is harder. But it’s great to have an expert that you trust who can show you the technicalities on difficult poses like that, because sometimes it’s hard to get those details just from the internet/magazines. 

My monthly challenge for March is “Get Up and Move”, wake up and exercise first thing in the AM at least 3x a week. Yikes!

Tomorrow I have a consultation for LASIK eye surgery! Yippee!!

Went to Bodypump today. It was challenging, but in a good way. I look forward to seeing myself gradually improve. Right now my muscles feel great. Tired but happy.

Today is the first day of February and that means a new monthly challenge. In January, I challenged myself to try a new way to sweat once a week. I’m happy to say that I completed that challenge and by doing so, I added two new things to my weekly routine. February’s monthly challenge is “Ommmm” That means yoga 15x this month! I’m excited, but it’s going to take a little work to fit that much yoga in to my schedule. I’ll be sitting down later this evening to get a schedule for this month worked out. 

Today is also the day that I re-weigh and measure. I’ll do my measurements in a bit and post the results. I wonder how my body has changed from exercising for at least 30 minutes, 32 days in a row!

I ended up getting two workouts in today, not entirely on purpose. I went to lunch with a friend, then went over to the gym right down the street. It wasn’t my normal gym, and I guess that gym’s childcare closes at 1, and I arrived at 1:15. Blah. I had plans to meet some friends at a park later that afternoon, so I didn’t want to go back to my home gym. I decided to take the kids over to the trampoline place instead. I did the basic trampoline aerobics routine for about 45 minutes while my 2 y/o napped in the stroller and my 4 y/o mimicked me and played.

After that, we went over to the park and played for a few hours. I realized that we were close to the gym where my favorite instructor teaches at 6:30. I had missed my regular Monday class with her, so I called my husband and had him meet me and swap out the kids. That was a good move because they were tired and grumpy and wouldn’t have done well at the gym childcare. 

It was a good class and I’m glad I made it. Tomorrow I’m going back to Bodypump. I’ll also do my weight and measurements to gage one month of move365 progress!
