Yoga

Well, it turns out I will need Yoga too. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Yoga!!! I guess I don't associate it with quick weight loss, which is why I haven't made it a priority, but I occasionally need to step back into reality and understand that I can't just abuse my body repeatedly if I expect to continue working out vigorously until March 31! Like I said before, this is just as much for my mind and sanity as it is for my body, and to not be ABLE to work out due to injury would be pretty unfortunate. Especially since I will be doing Insanity in the evenings starting on Monday, I do need to allow myself to recover sometimes. I plan to dedicate Wednesday and Saturday mornings to yoga and do Stroller Strong Moms on Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri. Insanity schedules Sunday as a rest day, and I have decided to actually do that. As much as I hate to miss a day (it just makes me feel so much better to be moving!), 24 hours of total recovery can do amazing things for the body. I hate it, but I know it, and my body will thank me for it.
It's hard for me to get out and take a Yoga class with these kids, even though that would be ideal, so I am doing some Rainbeau Mars DVDs. She is, by far, my favorite. I have done several of her DVDs and love them. Yoga is so much more than a "workout", which is unfortunately how so many fitness trainers make it look. It is about breathing, detoxifying, reflecting, healing, stretching, strengthening, balance, feeling positive and grateful, and looking inward, and Rainbeau is wonderful in all these ways. I am including a video here of the lovely Rainbeau Mars performing a solo.
