My first Yoga Class :)

Yesterday was my first yoga class with the cadets. It was great! I was quite apprehensive about teaching the class and for one, I'm not a certified teacher....I'm not even a teacher! lol so I called my yoga teacher Hannah and talked to her about this....I personally would of felt much more comfortable having her teach the class but the scheduling conflicted with her own class. So she gave me great tips to do and not to do and I basically wrote up a class plan and it worked like a charm. It was so interesting to see how they first laughed about it but then really enjoyed it - I heard "M'am you make it look so easy" and " This is harder that I thought" throughout the evening and I knew then I had peaked their interest! You could have heard a pin drop during the relaxation part. I was so happy that I was able to share my love of yoga with them and even happier to find out that they want me to return to teach them yoga again!

Life is good!

I've been threatening to up my exercising and now it's serious...I need to get my act in gear and really get out of my comfort zone....who would of known that a year later walking 5-10k was going to be normal for me! So now I really have to get uncomfortable and sweat it out. I'm so worth it!

February.......and still walking :)

Well so it's been one year and a month...and I'm still walking....
I'm in a bit of a down after my high of December...going on the Dr. Oz show and the anticipation of seeing the show and how my friends and family would react and now that it's over I'm feeling all alone...but I know I'm not...It's just the low after the high and as Jan puts it, "there's always the down after the high. I find that when I come home from a really great vacation but if we didn't come down, we would never appreciate the next high." so true! Thanks Jan!! So now I'm walking again until I get my new running shoes - I'm not going to risk injuring my achilles tendon again....OUCH that hurt :(

As any of my friends will tell you, January to the end of March I have this major need to get away to the Caribbean! Cuba being the most affordable...the main issue babysitter and money lol...well for me alone it's doable - it's just really the baby sitter.....but come to think of it..I don't have a bathing suit or any summer clothing as nothing fits anymore! YEAH! I'm becoming the incredibly shrinking woman...but soon it's time to really tone and step it up again. It will be walking and Zumba time tomorrow.

My blood sugar is perfect :) feels great! I'm really happy that this lifestyle change and changing my eating habits and embracing exercise has really made incredibly positive changes in my life.....I'm just dying to sink my toes in hot sand!! LOL

Bare with me...it won't last too much longer.....i'll get over it.
