I've been busy with kids, working, reading and yoga. Yep you heard me right, Yoga. Like the hot kind. Not totally Bikram but pretty close. The room is at 98.6 and I normally do the hour or the 90 minute class.
Now when I leave the class I am wetter than I am getting out of the pool. Its super crazy, but you don't really notice the heat after your body gets acclimated to the constant heat. I actually relax now when I enter the room and feel the heat.
I just finished 26 classes and can tell I am starting to get better at certain things. My balance is totally improving and I have muscles where I've never had them before. I've also gone down 2 dress sizes. It been about 2.5 months since I started and the last month I've been going regularly 3 times a week.
Its a little pricey but I am actually doing it which is more than I ever did with all of the months of gym membership I paid for and only used every now and then. I got my step mom, Malinda, to do it with me and its been so nice having someone to go with on a regular basis.
I haven't actually lost any weight but I have built muscle and lost fat. So I guess it all evens out in the end. If my clothes fit better and looser I am happy. Now the one size that hasn't changed much is in my jeans and shorts. My butt is actually a little bigger, but in a good way. Like a muscular way. Because of that I haven't gone down a pant size, but I have gone down 2 dress sizes. Go figure. The body is strange.
Other fun news is that we are going to the beach in Florida for a vacation. Hopefully the beach won't be full of oil. We will be right outside of Destin, so I'm hoping the oil goes the other way. Crossing our fingers!!!!
What are you guys doing to get ready for the summer? Any big vacation plans?

Long-time lurker here. You're headed to my neck of the woods. I live less than an hour from Destin. No oil so far and no one seems to expect it here in the immediate future. If you're headed to Grayton or Seaside, you'll really enjoy it. They're beautiful areas. My husband and I are planning an overnight there for our anniversary. One last kid-free opportunity before baby #3 arrives this fall.
I miss you! (and your two awesome troublemaker's and if you could throw in a side of chill Katie time that would be great!)
I've been swamped at work but I'm about to have a little mini vacation with the family which is MUCH needed. I'm growing my summer flowers (like always) and reading quite a bit (easy to do while traveling for work).
I should be working out and doing more yoga but hopefully that will fall into place after I decompress with MINI Vacation!
I was sad to see when I came to your blog today that More Than a Minivan Mom had taken her blog private. I pray that she gets thru this hard time. She seems like a great person and you are blessed to have her as a friend. I hope things start getting better for her...let her know that everyone will miss her. Jana Duresky
good for you with the yoga! I have to admit that my Jillian shred was sold in a garage sale for $3. Not proud, but I could NOT bring myself to try it again!
Have a great vacation!
