Namaste : Reconnect With All The Aspects of Your Life

A little back story of why I started blogging. 

I originally started blogging back in 2015 because of a yoga instructor I found online called Adriene. She did a web series of daily yoga sessions called 30 Days of Yoga with Adriene. I had always had trouble finding yoga videos that I could easily follow. They all seemed so serious and that's just not my flow. But I found Adriene and fell in love. She uses fun references and doesn't make you feel pressured and that's what I needed.

 

I decided to take a page from the movie Julie & Julia, where she writes a blog for 365 days following every recipe in Julia Child's cookbook, so why not do that for my journey of 30 Days of Yoga?!?!

Flashback to now!

With getting engaged and having to plan a wedding, one of my biggest concerns is making sure I am in better shape for the big day. I want to love how I look in my wedding dress and not regret that I (in my own head) don't look good in my dress. 

 

I first found an app called Fabulous. This app allows you to make goals and create habits for a better lifestyle whether healthy or just to just connect with yourself. I started out with some goals that sounded good to me. Drinking a glass of water as soon as you wake up, which allows your body to get started and get your organs running good and then I chose to make sure you eat a protein filled breakfast every morning. I am def. one of those people that skip breakfast. So far it is def. helping and I have created these good habits. I even started meditating because of this app. 

 Do yourself a favor AND INSTALL THE FABULOUS APP!!! :D

I also decided to start being more health contentious. I buy more fruit and try to eat better but I am not making a crazy change. As long as I am being smart about what I am eating majority of the time, I don't think a cheese burger is going to kill me. 

Lemon water has become a big daily habit that I am doing as well. It helps with your digestion, metabolism and gives you natrual energy. I don't want to go a day without it! 

With all this, I decided I kind of wanted to start doing yoga again. I thought it would be a good thing to start 30 Days of Yoga again and re-read my entries to remind myself of what to expect and of course a little motivation.

 So I was looking and realized I never finished writing the entries! Even though I got close to finishing the sessions, I stopped the entries at day 9! 

A little more motivation, I could start those back up and finish the 30 Days of Entries. 

Last night, I was was going to do Day 3, but I got a text from one of my best girlfriends, Jessi to go to a free yoga class! Hellz yeah! 

Jessi and I go way back to like to when MySpace was still popular! I'm sure you remember MySpace haha. We hung out literally everyday. Jessi was actually the person who introduced my to my finance back in 2010. She went to high school with him and she was one of my best friends. She got invited to a show his band was playing and invited me along. And the rest is history. :)

 Like some friendships as you get older, you kind of drift away. Not because anything bad happened but because you become different people or things change in your life. And that happened for me once I met the Travis. My life kind of went in an unexpected different direction but I still considered her one of my best friends. We would hang out every so often and it felt like nothing had changed. And that's when you know its a true friendship. I am lucky enough to say that about not only her but one of my other best friends I've had since high school Alex :)

But as of recently, we have started to hang out a lot more than we have in years and its been amazing! I've missed her smiley face so much and I am so so so glad we reconnected  :)

ANYWHO! :) 

 

 

So like I said, she invited me to go to a free yoga class with her and her husband Dave because they are trying a healthier lifestyle as well! Perfect right?! 

Unfortunately, Travis had to work but he can join us next time!

We went to a place called Local Yoga located in Murray. This was a cute little hole in the wall place.The instructor was actually one of Jessi's friends from work, so that was nice. It was also Dave's first time doing yoga! Luckily he loved it and did pretty good!

It was an awesome class! And very different than being at home watching your screen haha.

After yoga we went back to their place and had healthy chicken tacos. Those tacos were BOMB! Good job Jessi & Dave! And thank you for filling my belly with food goodness! :) 

So far this health kick is working and I hope it sticks! :)

If you are interested in looking into an at home yoga, please check out 30 Days of Yoga with Adriene. She also has another one called Revolution: 31 Days of Yoga that I plan on trying as well, and you should too!
