Yoga... How's That Going?

Alright- I've mentioned a few times that I've been doing Yoga lately... and I actually think it's really been good for me! 

What I'm Doing? 

So I started off doing a beginner yoga video from Yoga with Adrienne and then I found another video that was part of her 30 Days of Yoga challenge from 2015... so right now I've been keeping up with that year's challenge and so far I have finished up to day 7. 

The videos are actually pretty easy to follow. There are a few moves where I'm like "I can't do this." But some... I've ended up being able to do a few days later. Or at least kind of do. Plus most of the videos are like 20-ish minutes... so it's not too long but it's still a nice workout. I kind of feel sore sometimes after- but now I feel like I've gotten a little better and it's a little easier. 

And I have skipped 2 days... one I was just exhausted after work...and one I had a bad headache and even though it went away I didn't think Yoga would make me feel any better. So I feel pretty okay... I'm trying to do something every other day at least... but i'd like to finish this around 30 days. 

Am I losing Weight? 
I think I've lost a few inches, maybe some weight. I had a pair of jeans that I bought a little bit big in February- before the shutdown- because I thought it would be better than the size down. So they used to be a little bit big, and then after the shutdown they fit pretty good... and now they're pretty big now. So... I guess it's helped a bit. 

How Am I Feeling? 
So part of why I wanted to do yoga was because it feels nice to kind of stretch out and it relieves some pain and a lot of times my lower back hurts so I thought that yoga might help it feel a little better. And it has been feeling better lately so I think it is kind of helping my body alignment. 

I'll probably check in more with this from time to time if you're interested... but I feel like if I write about it- I'll stick to it! 

Bye!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
