I am starting my yoga back up, but I want to focus on the weight loss side of it. For the past year, I haven't been super active, and that is putting a strain on me, in many ways. I am not happy with myself when I look in the mirror, again, in many ways.
1. When I look in the mirror, I am not happy with my body. I would like clothes to fit better, and I would like to not have a spare tire around my waist. I have NEVER gained weight in my stomach, so this is very foreign to me. I actually have creases on my back below my shoulder blades and above my love handles... WHY are they called "love handles"? I certainly don't love them... I know this is not super flattering to talk about, but I need to verbalize it, so that I can change it. The first step is to acknowledge the problem, right?
2. When I look in the mirror, I am not happy with my skin. I will break out, or have splotchy skin, and unwanted hair. I am going to go to a laser hair removal place with a groupon I got. $89 for one year of unlimited laser hair removal for 2 small areas, or 1 medium area. Pretty good deal if you ask me. I want to start eating healthier, and this should help with my skin problems.
3. When I look in the mirror, I am not happy with how my Real Estate performance has been. I have been at war with myself, saying, I'm not good at this Real Estate thing, and should give up. But then I say, no I love what I do, I just need to apply myself a little more, and do what everyone is telling me to do. I just need to follow through with what I say I am going to do.
Yoga is going to help with that. It will keep my mind clear, my heart and body healthy, and muscles engaged. I am also going to work out with one of my best friends, Colleen, 3 days a week. We have been working out 2 days a week, but I don't think that is enough. The last two weeks, I have been struggling with myself, and I haven't been able to work out with her. I have missed her a lot these past two weeks, and I am excited to get back to the work out routine.
Today I did Yoga with Adriene - Yoga for weight loss! It was a pretty great. Basically, this exercise helps to build muscles, but in a loving caring way, instead of in a super intense, loveless way. Great for the arms, legs, and core.
Here is the video if you would like to try it out. She actually has a whole series on this type of yoga exercise.

Let me know what you think, by leaving comment below! I love to hear what other people think. Or if you have another video that you like to do, feel free to share it!
Well until tomorrow, I hope y'all have an amazing day! I know I am going to try and make the most out of it!
