Fit update

I've been doing yoga twice a week now and I'm starting cardio this week. Yoga has been a phenomenal place to start because it allows me to appreciate already the gains I'm making, but also where my pregnancy made me stronger! Yesterday I discovered that I can hold a forearm plank way longer than I could last year - pretty cool! My body is completely different. Pigeon pose (a hip opener) used to barely challenge me - now,


yowza!


So in my journey back to fit i'm finding joy in relearning my body and gratitude for my yoga practice in making that happen. And, I've lost 30 lbs so far :-)

How do you foster your mind-body connection?

It's the little things...

Yesterday I took a shower. Yup. Why so special? I took one with just me and jack in the house. First time! He has started a pattern where he takes s two hour nap late morning and I thought ah hah, I'm going to be smart and get a nice shower in. Good thing too be ause he woke up as soon as I got out ( apparently he didn't get the memo about alleging two hours). Joy of the day: seizing precious moments to take care of yourself!

How do you seize moments in your day for self care?

A superficial joy

My joy of the day is not deep in anyway but so practical for a new mom: online ordering. I realized i needed diapers and wipes, we were running low on vitamins, the dog needed dental treats... What's a time and sleep starved mom to do?

Amazon.com- ordered one big box, free shipping, arrived in two days. Perfect!!! And of course all ordered with one click ordering from my iPhone!
