Yesterday I started my day with an 8:00 am with a Slowburn Vinyassa yoga class - 60 minutes long. I followed that up with 54 minutes on the elliptical and 45 minutes on the treadmill. The yoga class was really good, I think I will add it to my weekly schedule. "From the slower progressive sequences, to the longer holding postures, the entire body and mind are brought into balance in this focused, intense yet calming class. It is a great option for newer students who may be nervous about trying yoga. You will be encouraged to explore all the benefits of each posture while finding equanimity between challenge and release. This practice is typically accompanied by soothing music. *For all levels."

I started my day bright and early with a quick 2.3 mile run of the Trails plus 2 sets of modified push ups, squats & stairs. I rushed back to the condo because the kids spent the night last night and I didn't want to miss any time with them, I needn't have worried, everyone was still asleep when I returned home.
weekly wrap-up:
I feel like I had a really good week. I met my goal of 10,000 steps per day, even on my day off (I got all my steps in at the mall with Jamie)

This upcoming week is when I will start paying attention to my abs once again, I will be continuing with what I have going already but I will add in some ab work. I increased my run distance to a little over 4 miles now, I am attempting to do that daily, I have no idea what I will do when the weather gets hot. I have also expanded my yoga practice:
M,W,F = Yin Restorative Yoga
Tuesday = Yoga-Pilates Fusion
Thursday = choice of Hot Vinyassa Yoga or Vinyassa Flow Yoga
Saturday = Slowburn Vinyassa Yoga or Hot Vinyassa Yoga
Sunday = My day off from yoga although I still want to get at least a run in on Sundays!
I feel good, I am waking up with the craving to get some exercise completed. I seem to be doing pretty well with the food portion of this lifestyle shake-up. Yesterday was the first day I had a little fumble - I ate 2 of my Weight Watchers snack bars instead of just one. I was well within my points on both my Weight Watchers app & my Fitbit app...we'll see how the scale reads at my Weight Watchers meeting on Thursday. My challenges this week will be on Tuesday and Sunday. Tuesday we will be babysitting for Audrey and although I could choose to skip it and get my ass to the gym instead I am making the choice to go spend some time with my Squishy Girl. I don't know if I can really call her that anymore, she is not squishy, she is tiny. She is also hilarious. Last night and this morning there were discussions of who was being nice and what other options there were of how to act. Jackson proudly told us that he's a nice guy. Audrey proudly told us that she was naughty. Auntie Mickey is also naughty, several years ago I would have to agree but these days its all peace and mellowness, meditation and yoga, running and cardio....holy crap, I sound boring. I feel good and that's what matters, right? If Audrey says Auntie Mickey is naughty than maybe I am. They also picked out Disney princesses for everyone. I got Merida from Brave. She has curly hair so I can see it. She is also kind of a bad-ass...I don't mind being thought of as a bad-ass. I wonder how many steps on the Fitbit Merida would get? I know...I have issues
